Halloween has been my favorite holiday growing up! The weird thing is that I really despise scary movies and ALL things frightening. Why is it my favorite you ask? Well for starters, candy. Also, you get movies like Halloweentown and Hocus Pocus and you get to carve pumpkins and play in the leaves and make s’mores! Pretty much all things amazing happen in the fall! I never fit in when friends would ask me to go to haunted houses and to have a scary movie marathon. I’d simply say “No thanks, I think i’ll sit this one out!” While on my Disney College Program in Walt Disney World I got to experience all types of seasons and events going on down there which was amazing! I guess you could say I’m biased because Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party brought me right back to my childhood! Last year was the first year that I’ve ever been and I even went twice! Why was it so amazing you ask? Well I have a few great reasons why.
One thing I loved was Trick or Treating! A 20 year walking around receiving candy and not being judged because EVERY ONE is doing it?! Count me in! I shamelessly can say that I hit every trick or treating spot as well. Special maps are awaiting for guests at the gate that are strictly for the Halloween Party so make sure you pick one up while on your adventures! They make a great FREE souvenir/memory too! Oh and I guess they are pretty good so you don’t get lost too. My first time at the party I was absolutely blown away. I dressed up as Alice and had a great time doing so.
The decorations, music and atmosphere brought me extreme nostalgia. I was obsessing over the decor hung about the confectionary and the park themed scarecrows at the park entrance. 
I also went a second time as Raunzel and had an amazing time as well! You can always go more than once if you ever get so lucky!
Disney has a way of making every event special and they certainly make their firework especially over the top for this event. HalloWishes! was absolutely stunning! I’m 100% a fan of the musical score they put behind the display and they definitely get you into the Halloween spirit. The castle show was amazing as well and I could watch it repeatidly. Especially when Dr. Facillie came out, I was absolutely stunned!
To the left is a photo of Michael and I meeting our favorite villain! The saddest part of the night had to be leaving the park exit and having to read the pumpkins lined up saying “see ya real soon!” Even though I was lucky enough to say, “Yes, you will be seeing me real soon!” Well, until next time folks! Tweet me @lauraweyand and tell me your favorite part about Halloween! See Ya Real Soon!
