Disney invited local mom bloggers out to Mickey’s Trick or Treat Party at California Adventure. My family and I are Disneyland annual pass holders and go to the parks about once a month, but haven’t ever gone to this special event. The kids got all dressed up–Troy Boulton & girlish pirate–and we made the fifteen minute trip to the park.
Despite Disney’s insistence on promoting candy corn–the foulest candy ever made–we all had a spooktacular time. A frightfully sinisterlacous experience. (One more…) It was scary fun. It’s sure to become a family tradition, like ice cream on Christmas morning.
Holding desperately to the belief that my videos are entertaining and unable to keep it under the optimal two and half minutes, I made this 3:30 minute video about the night. Yes, I talk about the confection crime that is candy corn, and yes, it includes ’80s music.
****PLEASE NOTE ALL COVERT OFFICE BLOG READERS**** The first 20 seconds of this video starts off loud (!) with raucous music. Take a minute and turn down your volume and take a quick peek over your shoulder to make sure coast is clear…
I’ll wait…
…Okay, now enjoy.

Can I just say that my favorite part of this video is the end when I show clips of adults dressed in costume. There is a man dressed like Winnie the Pooh (Who I love–BTW) and I call his name “Pooh!” “Pooh!” “Winnie the Pooh!” and he finally answers, “Yes, sorry, hi.” Maybe you had to be there–so funny. I’m pretty fond of that clown, too.
Wow–you weren’t kidding with the opening being raucous. I liked it. Probably the only video with a clown dancing to the Circle Jerks, maybe, maybe not.
Awwww.. you make me miss Disney World. Dave Ramsey would not approve!
You know you can only find Queen of Hearts face to face at the Halloween Party?? We went to the Halloween Party at Disney World last year and it is, indeed, AMAZING!! I love the parade and the fireworks. Awesome… sheesh, now you’ve got me missing Disney hard core.
Very cute and how much fun was that??? You guys are so lucky.
That is my kind of Halloween, NO blood or GORE!!!!!
I also am not a fan of candy corn, but love Winnie The Pooh. He rocks my socks.
Ice cream on Christmas morning??? Quick, someone call the authorities.
what fun! but i have to vehemently defend the corn. how can you not love candy corn? biting off the tiny yellow head and chomping the big left over part. true, i can only eat about 5 in one sitting but i ADORE candy corn!!! candycorncandycorncandycorn YAY!
Disney invited mom bloggers to this thing?? Man, I’d borrow someone’s child for that opportunity. Lucky you!
And I hate candy corn too, but I don’t even remember what it tastes like. I must have blocked it out as a child. I’ll have to watch the video when I get home tonight.
P.S. Winnie the Pooh has been my fave Disney character for aaages! I heart him to pieces 🙂
Love that event at Disney. And I LOVE CANDY CORN.
I am going to do reverse trick or treating this year and show up at your house and GIVE you loads and loads of candy corn. Get it? It will be my TRICK! Ha ha ha ha (evil laugh)
Okay I am done.
LOVE the Winnie the Pooh man! So funny. That clown is great too. I can see why you are so taken with him. I haven’t ever been to this, have to go!
LOVE IT!
Finally, someone comes out publicly against candy corn. IT IS THE WORST “CANDY” EVER MADE.
I’m with you on the ICK to candy corn; it’s nasty stuff. Did you include the swings in the video just to torture me? I nearly had swings out of my mind and now the obsession has been ignited all over again! 🙂
Candy corn is like eating flavored wax. I’m still concerned about that Pooh you saw. He really scares me…
As a Disney passholder I must attend the Halloween fun next year. I also have to tell you. I love candy corn! It comes once a year for me and I enjoy it.
