On Friday, September 13, 2013 Ron and I headed to the Magic Kingdom with our friends Bob and Kim and their 7yo son Matthew. It was so hot out only Ron wore a costume…it was year 3 as Dr Doofenschmirtz for him, the rest of us just wore Halloween themed t-shirts. This was our friend’s first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party so that made the evening even more fun!
We entered the park at about 5:30pm and met up with another friend, Jessica, who spent about 3 hours hanging with us that night! After some pictures on Main Street USA we headed to Tomorrowland to ride some rides before the party officially started at 7:00pm. We rode Buzz twice, took pictures with Buzz, rode the PeopleMover and Bob & Kim rode Space Mountain while Ron & Matthew rode the Tomorrowland Speedway. The we headed to Rockettower Plaza for the Monstrous Scream-O-Ween Ball where we got to dance with Mike, Sulley, George Sanderson and Boo!
Monstrous Scream-O-Ween Ball
After the ball, it was time to start trick-or-treating! There are 9 trick-or-treat locations throughout the park which all give out generous amounts of premium candy. Ron and I weighed our candy bags when we got home and we each had 2.25 lbs of candy!
After a ride on Under the Sea-Journey of the Little Mermaid we were treated to a media only preview of Princess Fairytale Hall…I will tell you all about that experience next week!
Now it is time to head towards the front of the park and find our spot for all of the exciting night time entertainment. we were blessed to find a spot near the castle on the left side to watch Celebrate the Magic and Happy HalloWishes. I have a full video of Happy HalloWishes on my YouTube channel if you would like to see the entire fireworks presentation. After the fireworks we moved to our spot in front of the castle for the Boo to You Parade. While we were waiting we listened to the Disney Villians’ Dance Mix and Mingle show. The Boo to You Parade is my favorite Disney parade of the year because of the Headless Horseman, Pirate Flag Corps and the Grave Diggers. I made a montage vidoe of the night’s highlights. (If you are reading this post via email you will need to click over to my site to see the video).
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is one of our favorite Disney events of the year and as always…we had an awesome time!

Disclosure: We were the guests of Walt Disney World at this event. We were not asked to blog about this event. All opinions are 100% mine.
Aww! This sounds like yet another fun Walt Disney World event. Maybe, some year I can attend.

Sounds like a blast! I love that Monsters is playing a huge role in MNSH. We won’t be able to make it this year, unfortunately so thanks for sharing.
