We were so excited to attend as the FROZEN crew in our DIY costumes!! Meet Kristoff, Anna, Sven and Olaf…
We got to the park right at 4pm and beat a path straight to Space Mountain. Honey and Whit did the speedway and People Mover while John and I took two rides on the coaster.
After hitting up a few more favorites in Adventureland and Frontierland and grabbing din din, we lined up to meet Jack and Sally for the first time. These two are only available at the party and John was beyond excited to finally see them!! They were so interactive and made it totally worth the wait.
Right afterwards, we snagged a prime spot for the Boo to You parade and joined in the street monster mash party.
It was lightly drizzling during the beginning of the parade but we were thrilled that the show still went on. This parade is AMAZING!! So many rare characters and villains, spooky music and special effects.
As soon as the parade was over we scooted over to Town Hall and were the first family in line to see Halloween Mickey.
On our way back to Fantasyland, we stopped for Happy Hallo-wishes and the special fireworks show. Both were just jaw dropping!! I will never tire of seeing the castle transformed like this!
After the show, we trick or treated and rode rides the rest of the night!! Goofy’s Barnstormer is one of Whit’s favorites and there were so few people on it that they didn’t even make us get off.
Dumbo at night is just pure magic.
And the candy corn ice cream treats were a great pick me up for such a late night!
At around 11pm the wait for Anna and Elsa was only 20 minutes. We had fast passes set up for our Magic Kingdom day, but since we were all in costume we unanimously agreed we should just do it then! I’m SO glad we did!!! The Arendelle royalty greet separately and so we met Anna first. I have no idea why I have no pictures of that on my camera OR on our PhotoPass???!!!! Anna was hysterical! She threw her arms out when we walked in and said “It’s Kristoff and Olaf and Sven and…. MEEEE!!!” After our time with her, we went over to meet Elsa. She was lovely and super engaging as well.
And while we were taking our time with Elsa, Anna came running across the room and asked to squeeze in! She linked arms with Kristoff/Honey and we were all just SO beyond excited to get to see them both together. They took so much time with us and really, truly made our night.
With just a few minutes until the stroke of midnight, we scurried over for one last spooky ride at the Haunted Mansion. We had so much fun with the magic shots afterwards!
As the party wound down and a new day dawned, we stopped for a last farewell in front of the castle.
And just like that, our evening had come to a close. We didn’t make it back to our beds until nearly 1AM. Needless to say, we were out in no time flat!
See ya real soon, Magic Kingdom!!

We decided to do the beach for our fall break. Seeing your pictures is making me regret that! Lol. We haven't been since April and now I'm starting to have withdrawals!!! Hmmmm.. I may see a long weekend and a few missed days of school in our future :)
Too cute…y'all captured some wonderful memories!
What a fun one! We went to the not so scary Halloween on halloween night and it was nuts! So agree best to do it early.
My two young granddaughters, ages 5 and 8, love everything FROZEN. They would have loved meeting Anna and Elsa! Thanks for sharing the fun pictures.
We are going in two weeks!! So excited. I have been using your site for inspiration for surprising my little ones. I just wanted you to know how helpful it has been for us.
Do you have any tips for getting great pictures with the Memory Maker photo pass?
Thanks for sharing your photos. I'm glad to see you are having a wonderful time. Our entire family is going to DW in November. We love going when it is decorated for Christmas. Have fun!
we have been toying around with the idea of going in October of next year for this exact reason!!1 I love reading all of your updates! :)
What fun, and how cute a y'all. The costumes are amazing!!
Goodness sakes alive! No wonder we hardly heard from you wild things! What an amazing time. All of your photos are great and the ones of the fireworks are tremendous! Your costumes were exceptional and you looked just like you did in your childhood Disney photos! :) Between you and Paige, I am officially surrendering to fall this weekend. Welcome home!

How long was the line to meet jack and Sally?
Longest line we waited in the entire week. They came out when the party started at 7. We got in line at about 6:40 and probably weren't done until 7:40.
How awesome r you all in costume!?! Looks like a fabulous time…did you happen to ride the new Snow White coaster? How was it?
We did ride it!! It was very well done and ranked as Whit's #1 ride in Disney and John's #2 :-)
That is the best parade and event ever!….Great pics!!!
Were you there Tuesday? If, so, did you get stuck in the monsoon? Lol! It poured and poured on us. Luckily it stopped right in time for the Halloween parade. It was awesome!! We loved the Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. It is fun looking at your pictures and reliving our own experience there. I am glad you had a great time too!!
We were there 9/14. I'm behind :-) It drizzled at the start of the early parade and then totally cleared up. I hate it that it poured on you!
How cool! I want to go to Disneyland! I love that you guys went as the characters from Frozen. I love that movie. Those pictures are amazing! The "ghosts" are pretty cool too.
Would you mind sharing your camera settings for the parade and wishes?(manual?) Going in a couple of weeks :) and would love to capture the lights.Thanks Amanda :)
