Pumpkin Party- Disney Style

Thanks Beth for hosting this Pumpkin Party.

We love Halloween here at Purple Chocolat Home.

We have been partying this week and wanted

to share it with you.

For those of you who haven't heard - Mickey Mouse hosts

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.

Beaulah knows she is going to have to go

in storage in a few days so she wanted to

fly off to Florida

and be part of the big Mickey Halloween Party.

She polished her diamond tooth so she was ready to go.

Now if you haven't ever been to Mickey's Halloween

Party, which I hadn't, this is

one you might want to schedule in next year. 

The Magic Kingdom closes at

7:00 and reopens for those who have purchased

tickets to the party. (They actually let you start

coming at 4:00.)   Many come dressed in costume. Of

course I did!

Everyone, young and old is given a bag to

go trick or treating with.  We focused on the rides while

everyone else was focusing on the trick or treating.

Little did we know that they kept handing out handfuls,

yes I said handfuls, of treats at each station until

midnight so by the time we were sick of rides we

went trick or treating.  I haven't been trick or treating

since I was little and let me tell you, it was a lot of fun.

We also spent some time at Universal Studios.  Their pumpkin

displays were fantastic!  I would love to do my front gate

like this - maybe next year.

How about these trees at Universal?

Wouldn't this be fun, filling your trees with pumpkins that

all light up at night.  So many ideas, so little time!

But back to Mickey's Party...

The fireworks show and parade at the Magic Kingdom

 features the villains this time of year and all of their villainous music. 

It was really exceptional.  I wanted to share a little of it

with you.  I am just like a little kid when it comes to fireworks

and Disney really knows how to do it up right.

From before you even walk through the turnstiles,

everything is decorated.  One of the things I liked the best was

that they had enormous fog machines going by the Haunted

Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean.  The air was filled with

fog which was colored by lights, it was very festive.

How eery they can make the castle!

I don't know how many times it changed colors all night

I've never been to a party like this, but I sure plan

to attend again.  You don't even have to wait for an invitation,

you can invite yourself.

Of course, we had to carve our own pumpkins at home.

Left to right - Mummy, Man in the Moon, Minnie Mouse

and Edward and Bella.

Can you guess which one I did?

No, it wasn't Minnie, but she sure is cute.

(Hint - I carved it at Twilight.)

Hope you enjoyed our Pumpkin Party.
