Having a great time. I met Skunk and his wife, Pam and their friends last night. We had a nice visit and enjoyed the fireworks from the Top of The World Lounge. Today, I met Stacy (kywildcatchick) and her husband. We chatted for about an hour in France. Thank you for introducing me to the pink grapefruit wine. I could go for another.

Tomorrow is the Mercaline to MK tour where I will meet Robyn and Sy. Tuesday I move to Port Orleans Riverside.

It was so good to meet you! I'm so jealous you are still there and I had to come home! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your trip and hope we meet up again some time. muchlove

Enjoying the Halloween party. I danced with villians and monsters. Loved Hallowishes. Found a seat for the 2nd Boo to You parade. So far I have an unobstructed view of the parade route. There is still 15 minutes until it starts so we will see if that changes.

Some comments on the Halloween costumes I saw last night.

Frozen characters were the most popular. Saw a couple of dads who were not happy and being dressed up as Sven.

Fred and Wilma Flintstone were also popular. One couple had a little Pebbles.

Saw a few "slutty" characters - Minnie, Belle and Snow White.

Fish net - let's just say I haven't seen that much fish net since I went to watch Roller Derby a couple of weeks ago.

I saw three people with their faces completely covered which I didn't think was allowed.

When we were there in September (not for the Halloween party, on a normal park day) a young woman, maybe mid 20s, clearly dressed up in a full Snow White outfit got off the buses around the same time we did. We thought for sure we were going to watch her get stopped at the gates but they let her in without a fuss. Maybe they're getting more lax? It was really strange.

Today is my last full day in the World. I get the "Tragical" Express back to MCO tomorrow at 5:00pm.

I spent this morning in at DHS. I had originally planned on going back to Animal Kingdom. I went to DTD to do a little shopping. The boat ride to/from Riverside is so relaxing.

Tonight I am going back to Epcot for the "Tribute to Walt Disney" dining event. It starts at 7:30. I am relaxing in my room until is time to leave. I was going to try to catch the 5:30 Jim Brickman show. I am going to skip it.

My last morning here. Sad

I am in my room waiting for bell services to pick up my bags. I got s little carried away shopping this trip. I had to buy a tote bag to some of the stuff in. Then I had to buy a smaller purse to fit in one of my two tote bags I am taking on the plane.

On the "tragical" express. Got on an earlier bus. No sense prolonging the agony. Lol

May not have been the best idea I had. Lots of meltdowns going on.
