Halloween at Downtown Disney

posted in: Travel, U.S.A. 2
Waiting for the elevator before we’re let loose on the unsuspecting Disney tourists. PJ was our photographer for the night as he didn’t dress up–he was a Canadian Wierdo after all.
A little break at the World of Pooh Store. Mist and Kyran freaked out a lot of kids with their ghoulish stares.
A noisy but fun restaurant.
Trick or Treating in crowded Downtown Disney.
A fun time despite being exhausted from Magic kingdom earlier in the day.
I didn’t take any pictures of us at Blizzard Beach but I can tell you that three out of four children say it was their favourite Disney park. Tons of cool  water slides and raft rides. Also a water obstacle course for kids. It was a really hot day luckily–a perfect day for being in the water. And Kyran, Peter and Mist all tried out one of the fast, steep runs. Tabi was very brave also and went down many a slide on a raft and tube. Even the Pip was able to join us on the family raft ride. (I was terrified though, that she’d be thrown from the raft on one the turns)!

The thing I love about Disney is my anthropological study of all the different families. Disney World is teaming with Europeans (Russians, Germans, Italians, French, Spanish),British ( I began to think I was in Disney London because of all the English accents everywhere), South Americans (Argentinians, Brazilians), Japanese. I found it a fascinating study of so many people from all over the world. And the Disney employees are also from around the globe on a year long exchange: Ghana, Norway, Russia, Canada, France etc.
All in all, an unforgettable week of fun, face paced action, Florida sunshine and cozy family times. Kyran was such an incredible big brother to the girls. And a real help to me keeping the troops in order when I was baching it at all the parks for the first half of the day.

    cant wait for the family fun vacations once we’re there…or will we be so sick of e/o that we’ll vacation solo?

    Btw – did you actually trick or treat?

    No trick or treating for me but the kids did despite the line ups! I think every young family in Orlando was a DT Disney that night!
    And I dare say girl, I can hardly wait for the vacations myself–all of us making the pilgrimage to India to study with the Dalai Lama etc etc…
