Disney Vacation '16: Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Parade

When it came time for the Hocus Pocus show and the parade we found a good spot and watched the show. The boys really enjoyed it. We topped it off with some ice cream (which everyone loves). Unfortunately the fireworks show was delayed/cancelled due to lightening so we didn't get to see them. 

Disney Vacation '16: Pirates of the Caribbean

The ultimate Disney ride - Pirates of the Caribbean. The boys loved it! We rode it a few times. Ben liked it, but he was true to his character in all pictures. 

Disney Vacation '16: Rides of Magic Kingdom

We didn't get all the rides in at Magic Kingdom, but we definitely hit some highlights!

Nick and Aunt Sarah on the speedway cars. Nick was soooo excited to drive!

The (air conditioned) Carousel of Progress. The boys actually really liked it.

The Toy Story ride. It's actually a game and you shot your laser at targets as you go through the ride and earn points against your ride partner. Someone claims I 'cheated' while the ride was stopped for a few minutes. It wasn't my fault the ride stopped me right in front of a target!

Aladdin's flying carpet. The spitting camel was a fan favorite.

And of course the best - Space Mountain. Ben rode it two or three times.

Disney Vacation '16: Photo Ops around MK

Some photo ops around Magic Kingdom. Nick was into taking pictures at this point. His attitude dropped off later in the evening...

Disney Vacation '16: The Balyeat 7 Dwarfs

Sunday morning we did church in Celebration followed by brunch on the water in Celebration. After some pool time and down time, we hit the road, off to the Magic Kingdom and Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party! It was a halloween party, so we had to dress up! There are seven of us and seven dwarfs, so...We were the Balyeat 7 Dwarfs! We got a lot of compliments on the costumes. It was a little hot at 4pm in the direct sun, so not everyone wore theirs the entire time, but I think Ben did. He was very into his character. 

Doc - Larry

Happy - Mary

Sleepy - Adam

Sneezy - Barb

Bashful - Sarah

Grumpy - Ben

Dopey - Nick 

Disney Vacation '16: Our Little Lizard Friends

It is Florida, in the summer. Of course there are little lizards everywhere. And Ben was obsessed with them! He was determined to catch one and keep it for a pet. Well, Grandma came well prepared for such things with nets and bug houses. But in trying to catch this particular one, they cut off his tail! Poor little fella. 

Disney Vacation '16: The Light Sabers

You didn't think we made it out of Disney Springs with no souvenirs, did you?  Not when there was a huge Star Wars store right as we walked in. All three boys built their own light sabers. It took quite some time to pick out all the components and put them all together, but oh, the joy!
