At long last, I have resurrected my Halloween trip report. To refresh your memory, this is the story of our Halloween trips to Walt Disney World and Disneyland, with a little bit of Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings research thrown in for good measure. (And, no, “research” is not a euphemism for “wedding crashing” this time!)

It was also the first time we spent more than one day at Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival or ventured to a non-Disney theme park—in this case, Islands of Adventure for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Plus, we were lucky enough to steal a bit of The Roots’ last few days in Orlando for a fun meal and trip to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. To top it all off, we donned our costumes again the following week for Mickey’s [not Not-So-Scary] Halloween Party at Disneyland and were able to directly compare it to the Magic Kingdom version.

THRILL as we ride Harry Potter & the Forbidden Journey four times in a row and live! GASP as D23 pulls off yet another last-minute member event! CHILL at the prices Disney charges for crowded “private” parties!
