A Spooktacular Night at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

September 28, 2019

When you bring friends, you’ll be sure to have a Spooktacular Night at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. There is fun around every corner for everyone.

Thank you to Disney for inviting me to spend a a wonderful night at the Magic Kingdom enjoying the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party!

It seems like Mickey always has something fun up his sleeve. Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party had so many new things this year. It was our 4th time, but felt like my first since every visit is so different. (Check out my recaps from my September 2017, August 2018, and September 2018 visits)

I greatly appreciate when I receive media invites for Disney events, because they are so much fun. I love going to the parties or getting to see new attractions. But what I love the most is getting to invite our friends to the events, I always try to spread some happiness so I always take a different friend with us. This time, it was our awesome neighbors, Danielle and Raegan.

A Spooktacular Night at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

As usual, things run awry when I am trying to plan something out. In this case, I couldn’t find the Bo Peep costume that Autumn wanted to wear in her size. Multiple trips to various stores!! Eventually, I decided that we just would just run into Target on the way to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. So, the 4 of us loaded up in the car after getting the girls from school, and we were on our way. With some Lizzo blasting, of course! 

But, luck would have it, we missed the exit for the Target. Like, for real, can we please have a giant billboard like 2 miles away like “Target welcomes you in 2 miles. Don’t miss it!” ha! Anyway, the point is, we didn’t have costumes, but we still had a magical time. 

Market Street Welcome Trick-or-Treating

As soon as we walked into the Magic Kingdom (just before 5pm), we headed with the crowd to the Market Street Welcome Trick-or-Treating. 

To enjoy this great trick or treating and photo op spot, stick to the right side of the Main Street area, walking towards Tony’s Restaurant. We walked through snapping pictures and kicking off the trick or treating. The cast members handed out bags of candy. As well as supplied trick or treating bags. 

Casey’s Corner 

It was dinner time and the girls were hungry so we headed over to Casey’s Corner. It’s an easy stand by that my family loves going to. Big hot dogs and fries- perfect for hungry kids. 

I really treated myself to the Loaded Corn Dog Nuggets ($10.99). I dug into a bed of Corn Dog Nuggets that were topped with Cheese Sauce, Chile-Lime Seasoning, Sliced Jalapeños, Diced Tomatoes, Garlic Ranch, Corn Chips, and Green Onion. It was messy and utterly delicious. I added more jalapenos from the toppings bar too. 

I would 110% get this again. It had great flavors and textures. It was like ordering a cross between corn dogs, walking tacos, and nachos. So so good! The Chile-Lime Seasoning was great finishing touch on the whole mess of goodness. Plus, I love anything with spice, so those pickled jalapenos were perfect for me. 

Splash Mountain

After dinner we went to Splash Mountain for our first ride of the night. The girls certainly know how to kick things off with a bang! Plus, it was great that the line was so short. We only had to wait a few minutes, and even then it felt like the line was always moving. (We were walking on at 6.03 and seated on the ride at 6.13!)

Oh man, I got soaked! I was a bit worried at first with my light shirt (whoops!) but it was okay. I love the ride and getting splash was so fun and ended up being refreshing for the hot night. 

Haunted Mansion

A short walk and short wait later, we were ready to ride the Haunted Mansion ride. 

This was a new ride for Autumn to enjoy. I felt she might have been too scared from it last year, but I thought she might like the spooky fun this year.  She really enjoyed it and wasn’t scared in the least bit. She asked some questions about the crazy room before the ride, but just went with the flow and liked the hitch hiking ghosts.

Bonus, I left inspired to add on our to Haunted Mansion themed graveyard decorations. I saw some great things that we can add to the spooky decor next year.

Trick or Treating

As we we walked from Liberty Square over to Tomorrowland, we hit up some great Trick or Treating spots. Compared my my past visits, the cast members were generous with the candy. The girls typically got 2 handfuls of candy at each stop. (Now, I’ve see pictures of people going back to their hotel rooms, and practically covering their beds with candy. We didn’t have that much candy! But we certainly got more per trick or treating location than we ever did in the past.)

In all, we did 6 trick or treating spots and get a nice amount of candy. It was great for the night. 

Descendance Party

The girls LOVED the Descendance Party at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. It was a fun dance party that had everyone on their feet dancing to songs from the Descendants movies and fun pop songs. The cast (minus Cameron- RIP) recorded fun messages, that were displayed on monitors on the stage. So much fun!

Space Mountain

Autumn is finally tall enough to ride Space Mountain!!! I was so trilled! I love the ride so I was really excited that she could go on it as well. 

She loves Slinky Dog Dash so I was hoping she would love this coaster as well. However, I was a but nervous about her riding in a solo seat. My friend Danielle suggested the I ride behind her, so I could grab hold of her shoulders. Then I could reassure her that I was there. 

For Halloween, they turn the lights off and play a new Halloween-inspired soundtrack. Because it’s one of the few rides that has a spooky Halloween spin to it, it can have some ‘long’ wait times. We waited about 20 minutes to ride Space Mountain. 

Amuck Amuck Amuck Cupcake

Amuck, Amuck, Amuck Cupcake

I really needed a pick me up at this point, so we decided to stop by the Starbucks on Main Street. The timing was perfect got as the parade was just winding down, so we ended up getting in line just before the crush of people came in. Had we been about 5 minutes later, we would have been swept up in a crazy busy line. Instead we got our treats quickly and were able to get back outside to grab spots for the fireworks without any problems. 

Selfie with Cinderella Iced Latte

Loving all things related to Hocus Pocus, we tried the party exclusive Amuck Amuck Amuck Cupcake. It was described as a ‘Trick-or-Treat Candy Cupcake with Peanut Butter Chips, Chocolate Candy Bits, and Toffee filled with Caramel Sauce, iced with Chocolate Buttercream and topped with a Chocolate Cauldron’. In summary, it had a lot going on, but not in a good way. The biggset disappointment was the amount of frosting on the cupcake. It just felt like it was overpowering the cake. 

Give the Amuck Amuck Amuck Cupcake a try to see what you think at the Main Street Bakery (Starbucks). Don’t forget to also try a Cinderella Latte. (A Pumpkin Spice Latte with White Chocolate Syrup added. Yum!)

Disney’s Not So Spooky Spectacular 

Disney always does a wonderful job with their fireworks displays. They are really magical. Of course, I love the fireworks but my favorite part is the laser show on the castle. It’s basically spellbinding with how intricate it all is as it is illuminated on the castle. I love it!

Disney’s Not So Spooky Spectacular was NEW this year, as it replaces Happy Hallowishes. It was so fun to see the new fireworks show and compare it to the show I had previously seen at past parties. The show kicks off with “This is Halloween” from “The Nightmare Before Christmas”. Then Jack Skellington and his dog, Zero, flies off carrying everyone along on a trick-or-treat adventure. You’ll get to join Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy in a mysterious haunted house. It’s 20 minutes of fun!!!

Somehow Autumn slept through the Not So Spooky Spectacular firework s show and Raegan was barely awake when the show ended. We asked Raegan if she wanted to stick around for the next Unfortunately, while on the ferry ride back to parking, that we should have stayed. We could have just moved over from our spot, allowed the girls to sleep (in stroller/lap), and watched the show. Ah, shoot! Next time, we will just take pop a squat and let the girls catch some ZZZZ’s 

We had a blast the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party! I hope you get to enjoy it too!

We enjoyed a wonderful day at Hollywood Studios starting with a visit to Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy. It was a filled with action and trills. Fun!

Thank you to Disney for inviting me to spend a wonderful day at Hollywood Studios.

It was a happy coincidence to get an invite to get to enjoy Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy at Disney’s Hollywood Studios while my mother in law was visiting. I was so excited to be able to show her all the fun things that Hollywood Studios has to offer. I’m always so happy getting to check out the different sections of the park- so much to see and do.

Plus, it would be so fun for her to get to experience it with Autumn and Hunter. Disney with your grand kids is always so much fun.

Wandering Through Disney’s Christmas Tree Trail

December 9, 2018

An afternoon wandering through Disney’s Christmas Tree Trail, in Disney Springs, is a great way to spend time with friends and family.

A few weeks ago, while Autumn was on VPK Thanksgiving break, we headed over to Disney Springs with my friend Aliya and her 2 kids for a day. We all wanted to check out the Christmas Tree Trail!

The Christmas Tree Trail started in 2016 and since then has grown with more trees. There are so many beautiful ornaments, lights, garlands, and tree toppers. So many perfect photo ops because there is something cute and magical everywhere you look!

October 15, 2018

We always have so much fun at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party! This time, the best part was doing the Monster Mash with Vampirina! My Little Vampirina LOVED IT!!!

During our Recent Trip to Disney World for an incredible Florida Blogger Experience, we had a wonderful night at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party! We started with a fun, group dinner at the Grand Floridan, before we took the (super crowded) monorail over to the Magic Kingdom for a fun, spooky night at the party.

I love visiting Disney during the holidays. They do such a wonderful time decorating. Main Street USA looks so fun and festive for the season (August – Halloween).  So many Disney themed pumpkins, scarecrows, and fall decor. Florida may be hot, but it puts me in a Fall State of Mind.

My friend Nichole and I brought our daughters to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party on Friday night. And we had a blast!!!!

Last year, I went to MNSSHP with Price, Autumn, and Hunter, and we had a great time. But, I wanted to change things up this year, and have Autumn bring a friend. Plus, Price has spent the past month working CRAZY hours for a deadline, so I wanted to give a nice relaxing night at home. With Hunter going to bed at 6.30, he would have plenty of quiet time to kick back and put his feet up. (Or not relax at all and rip apart a wall for a house project! ha!)

A Fun Summer Day at Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park

August 12, 2018

A fun summer day at Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park is every kids dream. Having fun in wave pools, on slides, and enjoying ice cream is a great way to spend a day with family and friends. 

Thank you to Disney for inviting me to spend a wonderful day at Blizzard Beach.

With summer winding down, I knew that we needed to do something extra fun before school started. We did plenty of great things like going to the Children’s Museum, the library for story time with the Rays baseball players, the zoo, and the beach. But summer needed to end with a BANG! So we headed over to Disney World’s water park, Blizzard Beach, the day before school started.

The kids and I loaded up the van to head over to for a fun day with my friend Brittany, her kids, and step-daughter. 2 moms with 7 kids under 14… woo we had our hands full but we had a blast. And we didn’t lose anyone either!

With the kids ranging in age from 14 months to 13 years it was important for us that Blizzard Beach had something for everyone. There were safe, fun things for everyone to do.

Moms’ Night Out: Enjoying Disney After Hours

July 17, 2018

Disney After Hours is a great summer event that allows you to enjoy the Magic Kingdom after is closes. You feel like a VIP with the short lines and treats.

Thank you to Disney for the invite for attending the Disney After Hours event. 

When I first moved to Florida I told myself that I wasn’t going to be a “Disney person”.

Disney World is a glorified amusement park. It’s too loud. It’s too busy. Lets not forget, it’s way too hot. It’s just some rides. It’s for kids.

OMG. I was so, so wrong.

Having fun at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

September 28, 2017

I still can’t believe that it is September! The year has sped by and that just means that the holidays will be around the corner before we know it.

I love living here in Florida but I have to admit that I do miss the fall season in New England. The cool mornings are refreshing, the color changing leaves are stunningly beautiful, and the decor is spot on. At least we can enjoy the decor here.
