Disney #2... Halloween!

Ok, folks! Here is our 2nd day at Disney. This is Saturday, October 31. Halloween! My mom got all the kids Halloween shirts that matched... well, actually, we all got Halloween shirts (except for Chris because I waited to long to buy him one and they didn't have his size anymore) but I refused to wear mine on Halloween. It was sooooo hot there and my shirt was long sleeved and black... yeah right! Anyway, the kids and most of the adults got dressed up in their Halloween shirts and we headed to Hollywood Studios. From the hotel we stayed at you can just take a little boat ride across the lake to get there so the kids loved it!
We spent the morning at Hollywood Studios and then went back to the room for a quick change and a little "makeover" for the girls. After they were in their costumes, the girls... my mom, sister, me, and all 3 little girls went to Magic Kingdom to have dinner with Cinderella in her castle!! After dinner we went to go meet some more princesses while they were all dressed up (and to have a quick ride on the Goofy rollercoaster).
After we finished up in Magic Kingdom we went to the Boardwalk and trick-or-treated there. They also had a little party for the kids and had lots of crafts to do. The kids loved it!
So, here are the pictures from our 2nd day!

Aunt Sissy, Camdyn, and Chloe on the boat heading to Hollywood Studios.

Uncle Matt, Nana, and the back of Silas' head!
(For those of you who don't know... Uncle Matt hurt his knee the week before they left for Disney. He was playing basketball and tore his MCL and his ACL. So he was pretty miserable for the whole trip. He had to spend the whole time on crutches or in the wheelchair... mostly in the wheelchair... however, it worked out nice for us some times because he got us to the front of the line for some rides and all the shows!)

Chris playing with Matt's crutches. Chris and my dad were the wheelchair pushers for the week.
Camdyn and her daddy waiting to watch the Little Mermaid show at Hollywood studios. We thought they little girls would LOVE it... um, not so much! It turned out to be a lot scarier than I remembered and Chloe and Camdyn spent most of the show on my lap crying... hard! Ooops! :)
Ireland waiting in line... she did like the show. She thought the whole thing was pretty neat!Chloe waiting in line.

We met up with my mom's parents while we were there... They came down for a vacation at the same time, along with my Aunt Tina, Uncle Randy, cousin Corrie, and her 3 kids, Alex, Avril, and Sam. We got to see them while we were at Hollywood Studios. We watched the Beauty and the Beast show (one of my all time FAV things to do in Disney World). We got really great seats (thanks to the wheelchairs!!) and the kids actually liked this show. Chloe was pretty captured by the show!
Here is a picture of the Beauty and the Beast show. It is such a wonderful show... it reminds me of the broadway show... the colors are so bright and the songs are wonderful! I love it so much (Chris thinks it is lame... what does he know)!

Here is a window inside the castle. I don't think the little girls really understood how cool it was that we were actually inside Cinderellas castle... but the big girls did! It was such a fun dinner! The little girls loved the "royal treatment" and the yummy food!
Ireland dressed up as SilverMist... her favorite fairy.

Chloe and Camdyn as our 2 Snow Whites. They loved that they were dressed the same! :) I think you can kind of tell in this picture, but we let them wear makeup for the special ocassion. We got some sparkles for their faces and their hair... they thought it was really special!

Ireland on the bus going to dinner. I think this picture is so beautiful! I love it!

Chloe at dinner... can you tell she was a little excited?

Ireland at dinner... posing of course!

Ireland saying, "This food is good!!" she got spaghetti and grilled chicken and loved it! She also ate all her veggies (greenbeans) and a lot of Nana's veggies! She was a hungry fairy!

I LOVE this picture of Camdyn! She looks like she is having so much fun! :)
Cinderella's mice came around to say hi. Ireland and Chole both gave them hugs and thought they were cool... Camdyn wanted to stay in her seat and thought they were cool from afar!
Cinderella didn't come during the actual dinner. They got to get pictures and meet her before the dinner started. I for some reason didn't get any pictures of that... but there was a Disney photographer there and we got some great pics from that... So I will try to scan one of those in a get a pic up of the girls and Cinderella.

We went to go meet the other princesses after dinner.... Cinderella was really fast and beat us over there. So they got to see her again. They also got to see Aroura (Sleeping Beauty) and Belle (Beauty and the Beast). I didn't get any pics of them with Sleeping Beauty but my sister did, so you will have to check out her blog for those pics!

We had a hard time getting all 3 of them to stand in the right place and get good pics... but we managed. Notice how Ireland is standing... her posing abilites were in high gear! She had the whole line of people laughing at her and her posing! It was awesome!With Belle (again, notice Ireland's pose)

One of the things Chloe was most excited about was to ride the Goofy rollercoaster. So after the princesses, we headed over to that ride! Nana showed her a video of it and she has been so anxious to go on it!

I got to ride with her and she LOVED it! It was so fun to watch! She had her hands up litterally the whole time! What a little dare devil! Ireland rode with Nana and Camdyn rode with her mommy. Poor Camdyn did NOT like it! She cried the whole time. I felt so sad for her. Ireland did like it. She liked every ride she did at Disney!

Chloe on the bus on the way to the Boardwalk. She was excited to go trick-or-treating!

All 3 girls liked the crafts a lot!

Aunt Sissy had fun too!

Ireland showing off her Halloween ink... which is the "best" tattoo ever... I SITLL can't get the dang thing off!

Chloe and Daddy... you can tell she had a lot of fun that night!

Silas had a great time too! He was the cutest... I mean toughest... little Wolverine ever! He was just too cute! There was music playing and Silas was dancing and having a great time!

After trick-or-treating we went to a little icecream shop with my grandparents and the rest of the gang... the WHOLE gang! It was lots of fun... however, it was a little crazy so I didn't get pics of that!'
But as you can tell, we had a great Halloween... next year has a lot to live up to!
Stay tuned for day #3 tomorrow!

I think this may have been my favorite day. So much, and all the fam together. Wonder where that pic on the Boardwalk is. I'll have to email Corie. Loved the Castle (even if the girls didn't quite "get it")!

Love the dinner at the castle & that Ireland ate all her green beans! Have you ever been to the parks at Christmas? They really go all out with those decorations!
