How are we going to fit it all in......

Well firstly let me apologise for the lateness of this post, the only other time I've posted mid week when I was in sunny Florida but due to a hectic couple of days at work time just ran away from me.....

This week has been a very busy week of holiday planning, at the beginning of the week the dates were released for both Mickey's Not so Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) and Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party (MVMCP)

So we are going to MNSSHP on our first real night there (not arrival night as that would be even a bit too much for me) and this is proving to be a bit of a planning nightmare for me as I always wake up at some god forsaken time on the first day and then I'm too excited to go back to sleep as I know we will be off to Magic Kingdom later - I can't tell you how happy just thinking about it makes me feel but I'm sure it will be fine and I will just have to eat shed loads of candy from our trick or treating and let the sugar high keep me going (James, Emmie Lou you have been warned!) 

Our Christmas party is a couple of nights before we come back home and I'm looking forward to snow on Main Street and unlimited hot chocolate.....I still haven't got my head round that cast members will have their Christmas outfits on although I'm sure their coats aren't the heavy duty kind that we need to cope with our climate.

So why do people pay the extra money to go to a hard ticketed event? There are special character meet and greets that aren't available at any other time (you can get your picture taken with all of the 7 dwarves - although this is insanely popular and gets massive queues)

The Halloween parade never runs during normal park hours and the Christmas one doesn't show during the day until just before Christmas and then there are the amazing fireworks and smaller queues for attractions.

I know I sound like I have been brain washed by Disney but I do think they can be worth the money if it's something you want to experience!

On top of all the party ticket purchasing the dates and artists for the eat to the beat concerts was announced; these concerts take place during Epcots International Food and Wine festival usually 3 times a night in the America. gardens area....I know I am showing my age here but Boyz II Men were one of the big bands out when James and I first met and they will be playing for 3 night when we are there; Yay ( our holiday planner is starting to fill up nicely)

So on that thought and the fact that I have to get off my train in a minute; until next week xxx
