This past Sunday we were at one of my absolute FAV events at Magic Kingdom!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party!
This is a Halloween-themed special event held on select dates in the Magic Kingdom theme park.
Purchase of an additional event admission ticket is required. If you missed it this year I do recommend it for next year. My boys LOVE it! ( I do recommend you bring your own bags….the ones they have are small)
They do have special events that you would not see otherwise….
Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade (and don’t miss the headless horseman)
Happy Hallowishes
Character Dance Parties
Villains Dance Mix & Mingle
Special Disney Character Appearances in their costumes of course!
This year they also had 11 trick or treat locations, which I think is more than they had last year.
And they do load you up at the exits! I was told they must give away all the candy that they have for that specific night.
We had a chance to preview a new section of Fantasyland!
Disney’s Enchanted Forest and …………..I LOVE it!
The official opening is scheduled for December 6th (hmmmm 2 days before my birthday, guess where I will be then?!)
The Enchanted Forest is inspired by The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.
Now Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney Movie so you can imagine how excited I was to see this! And not to give too much away but my youngest son was chosen to be “beast” in the storybook adventure “Enchanted Tales with Belle” and I must add he was Fantastic!!!
Upon entering this area you will see “Enchanted Tales with Belle” to your left. The theming as always is magnificent very much like the movie. You began by walking into Maurice’s workshop. I don’t want to give it all away here but you are transported to Beast’s library. 🙂
In my opinion this is good for girls and boys. It is a good storyline that includes parts for both.
The video only shows a small part it is a very audience participation oriented attraction so for obvious reasons I only posted the beginning….
Directly below beasts castle is the “Be Our Guest” restaurant. Dinner here is a traditional table service inspired by French cuisine. The ballroom (once again just like the movie) is beautifully decorated, it features a domed ceiling, twinkling chandeliers and views of falling snow! (Need a cool off from the hot Florida sun? This is the place to be!)
Book reservations EARLY!
Also stop in at Gaston’s Tavern for snacks and the signature drink LeFou’s Brew which I was not able to try.
I did stop in at Bonjour! Village Gifts which has themed souvenirs mainly focusing on Beauty and the Beast.
Under the Sea was our next stop. I do wish that I was there during the daytime but it did look great even at night! You will enter Prince Eric’s castle. Walking through the queue there are many interactive spots to keep you occupied! You will then board a clamshell to start your journey. This is a great ride very musical and the effects are fabulous!
This video shows the entire ride so skip it if you would rather experience it on your own!
From what I saw I was not disappointed! This will be a great addition to the Magic Kingdom!
So I have a new favorite! Well in the Deluxe Category anyway. Yes, Of Course I have my fav in each one. I couldn’t honestly just pick one!
So it’s the Yacht Club! Just stayed there this past weekend and they did spoil us with a boardwalk view! It was awesome!
I am one of those people that really dislikes staying in hotel rooms for the fact that I always think I’m missing out on something. I am usually out and about seeing what activities the resorts offer so as you can imagine this was fantastic!
Disney’s Yacht Club Resort is a lakeside Disney Deluxe Resort resembling a New England yacht club. The rooms are beautiful and have great theming.
It first opened on November 5, 1990, it is one of several Epcot Area Resorts. Disney’s Yacht Club is located next to a sister resort, Disney’s Beach Club Resort, and across Crescent Lake from Disney’s BoardWalk Resort. All 3 are very close and in walkable distance to each other.
It was a little bit cloudy when we were there but still beautiful….
and very convenient to restaurants, shops and the parks! Can’t wait to come back!
