10/28/2005 Archived Entry: "Treats!"

Last night was our second visit to Mickey Halloween Treat and it was so much fun! We were smarter about it this time since we could draw upon our experience of Saturday. We didn't wait in a single line and Tabitha actually did more last night than the other night.
When we walked in, we headed straight for the photo station with Mickey and Minnie. Chris walked up ahead of us quickly to secure our spot in line. When we joined him, after two stops at treat stations with non-existent lines, we were fourth. We took a pic of just Tabs and then one of all of us. After that we headed to the face paint area. Next Tabitha hula hopped and danced her butt off at an area they had set up just for that purpose. Even Chris got into the act during the parents only dancing and did the electric slide with Daisy in his arms. Good stuff.
Next was off to the games area as we found out that all the games were free and everyone won candy just for playing. Since Tabitha always begs to do the games at the boardwalk and we say no, this was perfect for her. She got to play every one of them, I didn't have to shell out tons of cash, and no new stuffed animals are coming to live in our house.
After this was more treat lines and then back to the dance area. I left them all at the moment so I could do a character scout. I found Chip and Dale and relayed the info to Chris (love cell phones!) and he and the girls met me there. It wasn't too hard to get Tabitha to come, I guess, because it was at another dance area. She posed with the chipmunks and danced and I went to change Daisy, making a quick detour in the toy store. They got new stuff in and I salivated over tons of it. Many more items have just been added to the girl's Christmas lists, I can tell you that! When I came back to the dance area, I heard one of the entertainers who keep the dancing going ask Tabitha where her parents were and then turned to us to tell us we have a future performer on our hands, lol. Yeah, I knew that. She partied-hearty, that's for sure. After that we hit the remaining treat lines, one more dance area and then back up front for the finale with all the characters.
Wonderful, wonderful time. They took my email to send me a survey about my opinion of the event and I'm so glad because I want to encourage them to do this every year.
One last pic just because.

I thought it was great too! We didn't stay the whole time because Gillian got tired (I think she's coming down with something -- she was coughing and sniffling this morning), but the time we were there was really enjoyable. Certainly much better than that crowded disaster at Downtown Disney two years ago.
