Mickey's Halloween Party: Round TWO

It's true. One weekend of Disney fun just didn't cut it.

It was my dad's birthday on Thursday Oct 6th, and this is what he said he wanted to do, so why not do Disneyland two weekends in a row? we turned it into a birthday weekend celebration! My parents, my sister and I loaded into the car on Friday morning and drove down.

(side note - we stopped at Cafe Rio in Tustin it was a bit spicier, but still was fun and nostaligic, getting excited for the real deal in 4 weeks!!)

We got to Anaheim, checked into the hotel, then walked over to Disneyland! Since I had been the weekend before I was mostly pro and knew where to go and what to do.

We hit: Matterhorn, Space Mountain, Star Tours (3D), Buzz Lightyear's Space Blasters?, Indiana Jones, Haunted Mansion, and Splash Mountain. Phew! It does sound intense but it was well spaced and so so great!

We also made time for tons of tirck of treating - Disney style.

They have these "Treat Trails" where you walk through a line and end up at different stations where they give you handfuls of candy and even offer healthy snacks like apple slices!

But the real reason we went is for the fireworks show. It was truly spectatular. We scoped out the best seats (see? front row!)

And it was amazing!

(I even shot a video so you could get a real idea of how cool it was)

It was a fun weekend. On the way back up Saturday we stopped at my cousin's house for Kennedi's 4th birthday which was also a blast!

Evrhet did miss these festivities because he was off partying in Miami! He had already made plans to go out for "PyCodeConf", although I'm pretty sure he would have come up with any excuse to get out of Disneyland!

Life is crazy but we are having so much fun
