Picking up where we left off, a DVC van came to pick us up just after four o'clock, and we went to see Nikki. She was helpful as always, and we enjoyed looking at the model rooms for Bay Lake Towers - looks like somewhere else to add to the list of "must visits". Nikki also very kindly gave us a grand total of 30 Fastpasses to use between the five of us. They are on special cards which we can insert into the Faspass machines rather than putting our park tickets in. The best bit is that irrespective of what the Fastpass return time says, we will get Fastpasses which will be active almost straight away. The only downside is that they are expire at the end of Sunday, so we could be having a busy few days!
We got back from Saratoga at about half past five, and came in deliberately loudly just to make sure that Jake was waking up! We had some bagels / sandwiches / fruit for tea, and then headed to the Magic Kingdom for the Halloween party.
In summary, the party was great! We had a nervy moment whilst waiting for the parade, thinking that Jake was going to run out of steam, but we were wrong, and he kept going admirably, and we left the park at about 11:30. The rain started during the evening, and was pretty hard by the time we left, but it didn't dampen our enthusiasm.
During our time at the Magic Kingdom we managed to:
- go on Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin
- see a show at the Monsters Inc Laugh Floor
- collect about a hundred-weight of candy during the evening
- watch the Boo-to-You parade
- visit the Haunted Mansion
- watch the Hallowishes fireworks
- see Mickey's PhilharMagic
- go on It's a Small World
- go to Alice and the Mad Hatter's Treat Party (lots of candy collecting)
- drive around the Indy Speedway
- ride the Tomorrowland Transit Authority
- have another go on Buzz Lightyear.
No wonder we're rather tired now. I don't think we'll be having a very early start tomorrow morning!
