Ashley and I were lucky enough to fly down in October and go to the party at Disneyland. We stayed with Aunt Cathy (Dave's sister)and she joined us for the fun. When you buy the $50 event ticket it allows you enter Disneyland 3 hours before the event starts so you can have a little more fun for the price. The party went from 7pm to 12am, so we entered at 4pm. We rode a few rides, had dinner at the Golden Horseshoe, then headed over to Critter Country to get in line for the treats. Right at 7pm the candy lines open and you just wind you way between the candy stations and they give you huge handfuls at every stop. Not crap candy either...snickers, skittles, M&M's,twix...good brand name stuff....by the handful! We watched the special parade, visited with the princesses, then got in line for Mickey and Minnie. Then the fireworks started and so did Ashley's screaming. She has had a fear of fireworks all of her 4 short years, and tonight was no different. I immediate picked her and carried her over to a bench while Cathy waited in line to hold our spot. After 5 minutes of hysterical crying and screaming Ash looks at me and says, "Mom look how beautiful they are...they're not scary." And BAM, we are over our fear of fireworks. She watched the last 10 minutes, then we had our picture with Mickey and Minnie. Ash stayed awake until we left at midnight and fell asleep on the way home, what a trooper! Such a fun Halloween tradition, I hope we can go every year!
