Spooktacular fun at Mickey’s Trick or Treat Party

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.
