November 1st Lunch @ Epcot and MNSSHP

So we where going to head to magic kingdom first thing this morning. The plus of such a long trip is the time to be lazy if you want. So instead we slept in til about 9 and then headed over to Epcot for our lunch reservation at Coral Reef. We are also doing dinner here later in the week. I can honestly say though looking back I wouldn't do dinner again. 11:40 reservation here with an early arrival was the best choice ever.. We where the first table seated and where put at at table right next to the tank in the window where the sea turtle hangs. Except for a few breaks for air he hung next to us the ENTIRE meal. It was incredible and Alex was in love with the whole experience. It a boys version of a character meal to be sure. We had more steak here .. Yum, we aren't seafood people. We where here for the experience.
After lunch we headed out to transportation and headed back to our hotel to relax and get ready for the Halloween party. We got changed. Alex in his Jeff Hardy get up and Jason in his budget ninja shirt. Got camera and goodies bags and headed off around 5 to the parks. Got our bracelets and headed in. Rode a few rides, went to the candy stops and then found our spot for Hallowishes. Oh my wonderful. It was every thing we had hoped it would be and really where not dissapointed. I have TONS and I really mean TONS of pictures. Afterwards we moved over for the late parade. It was great as well and I have tons more pictures to share of that too. The plan of doing November first to avoid the crowds was a great one and it was a nice relaxed feel. All the other parties during our visit where sold out but this one wasn't and you could really tell. The people where much more sparse. Still rude as always ( we had A LOT of rude people this trip and I was really disapointed in that) but all in all we where still at Disney. When it came time to leave I found myself wondering why we even bothered with the treat trails. Since it was the last night they park had candy to kill and they had cast members at the gates with boxes and boxes and bins and vats and tubs.. All told I think we had over 50 lbs of candy.. No joke. We left half in the pay it forward box and brought the rest with us. So, Overall.. Love the party.. Def would do it again!
