The Happiest Halloween on Earth

I am so excited for October so I can give you my posts and tutorials for halloween decorations and other Halloween party fun. I am trying to hold off until then, but I'm getting caught up in the spirit of Halloween (no pun intended). Last year, I didn't want to post anything leading up to Halloween, because it would ruin the fun for a lot of my party guests who read this blog. This year, I can post last year's tutorials and I don't have to worry about ruining anything because (sigh) we are not having a party this year. :-(

Instead, Mike and I will be attending this one:

Yep, that is Cinderella's castle. We are going to Mickey's Not-so-Scary Halloween Party! We are actually going to go to the one that Thursday as Saturday's (Halloween) is bound to be insane. On Halloween night, we will probably check out the action in Downtown Disney.

I am pretty disappointed about not being able to hang out with all my friends and dress up and make our house all spooky, but the opportunity to go to Florida this Halloween fell into our laps and we just had to take it. Plus, a lot of our friends are going here Halloween weekend so party strategy was going to be difficult as it is.

Mike's company is sending him to a conference at Disneyworld so we get to stay at Disney's Contemporary Resort and get 4-day passes to Disneyworld at sickeningly cheap rates. Plus a free flight for Mike!

We couldn't let our reputation as best house in the neighborhood be ruined, however, so someone in my family (most likely my mom) will be hanging out there to hand out candy while we are gone. And of course, we will still decorate the outside in the insanely creepy fashion to which the neighborhood has become accustomed.

Now I just need a comfortable and family-friendly costume that I can wear around Magic Kingdom for a night. Suggestions?
