So it was storming pretty bad when we left my house and sprinkling on the way to the MK (which is about 5 mins away) so I just knew it was going to storm. But we got so lucky! There was a bunch of lightening, but no rain! As you can probably tell, I am obsessed with Belle. I have been wanting her blue dress to wear as a costume for years but could NEVER find it. So I finally broke down and had one custom made for me. It cost a pretty penny but I can wear it every year for our character parade at school (my class does fairy tales) so I'll get my money's worth. And I was so excited to wear it last night. Now, when I put it on, I realized that I didn't give the best measurements and its not form fitting so it makes me look poufy up top. Oh well! Oh, and I loved how people commented on my costume being unique (although I did see 4 other Belle dresses!) but I also got asked a lot if I was Dorothy. Um, is my dress checkered and am I wear pigtails in braids??? NO!
DH went looking for a costume and said there really wasn't anything Disney-ish for guys so he bought a medieval-ish times looking robin hood costume.
We had tons of fun. The only ride that we rode was Haunted Mansion because we wanted to see the new queue and mostly did trick or treating. Most people were saying the candy was better this year because there was more chocolate but I hardly got any! DH kept getting the better candy.
Anyways, the wall for wear the new Fantasyland construction is, has Beast on it, so I had to take a picture!
Then during fireworks we met up with some friends and it was the first time I got to meet their baby (8 months old). She was super sleepy and she let me hold her and she fell asleep curled up on me! I so can't wait to have kids!
Then in the middle of the crowd, we saw this guy dressed as Gaston. I turned to DH and said he should have found that costume! Turned out it was the character and he was going to his meet-and-greet spot so we were second in line! It was awesome! He asked if I had changed my mind yet and proposed to me. I told him that I had already found my prince and he was taking the picture
I'm really picky about my face characters, but I thought he was really good! (you can't see his face in the pic)
I was hoping to get a picture with Belle, but she wasn't there. But we had such a great time! I do have one HUGE complaint though. They stop the monorails running at night! We left at 11pm (the party ends at midnight) and the monorails weren't running! I thought that was soooo stupid! We had parked at the WP and taken the monorail over, but the line for the ferry to GF was HUGE and the boat is so small that it would have taken a long time. So we wait in line for the ferry to the TTC and then walked from there, through Poly, to the WP. Boo! I really don't understand! It's not like there were only a few people who wanted to use the monorail. If there's a party going on, they should keep them running!
Anyways, I can't wait for next year!
