HALLOWEEN... THE BEST OF TIMES
I've always loved Halloween all my life. Even better than christmas. One of the most wonderful times I've ever had at Halloween was at disney. Magic Kingdom at The Not So Scary Halloween party. We've been to Magic Kingdom countless times through the Halloween season. And we've gone to several, probably six or seven not so scary Halloween parties. The entire atmosphere was sensory overload. The decorations, the shows, the parades, the costumes, the sights & sounds, and smells of the season. The festivities with the night time atmosphere and all the special lights and colors, and the epic music, all combined with the Castle and the fireworks... Simply wonderful. Character greetings were everywhere and so was Goofy's trick or treat stations. An entire evening of Halloween fun. Of course it wouldn't be complete without going to the Haunted Mansion. Of course the highlights were the character show in front of Cinderella's Castle and of course the Halloween parade down Main Street, which back then was done two times a night one around 9:00 and one around 11:00 p.m. Fireworks at 10pm. All in all, the best of the best Halloween celebrations.
Sad to hear that things have changed over the years. Not only has the price been greatly increased prices from what they once were, but reported by long time party guests, there have been major reductions in the party offerings. Basically they are saying that if you have gone to the not so scary Halloween party in the past you will be wholly disappointed with the new party. The good news is, if you've never gone before you should enjoy it for the first time.
As for us... We'll simply be glad to enjoy our wonderful memories from the past. Here's some photos of the best times.
