Disney Parks went Live last night for Mickey's Boo to You Halloween Parade. This is probably my favorite parade at Disneyworld. I love seeing the characters in their costumes, the villains, the gravediggers, & most of all the Headless Horseman. I will say this though, I remember the year we went, the horseman came barreling through at top speed. It was a pretty intimidating sight. It seemed like he came through a little slower this time around, but at least everybody gets a better look at him. Awesome parade though. If you can't get out here to see it, definitely watch this live stream. You also get to see Vampirina's WDW introduction. She's hanging out for Halloween before she becomes a part of Hollywood Studios. My littlest LOVES Vampirina. So, needless to say, when she heard the music she came runnin. She's super excited, & I'm glad she got to see them make this big deal about the addition of her new favorite character. Anyway, check it out, & let me know what your favorite part was.

If You Haven't Seen The "Boo To You" Parade At Not-So-Scary Halloween, They Streamed It, & It's Awesome
I've actually got to attend this parade. Now, I'm not usually a parade person when it comes to Disneyworld, but when I went this thing was started off by the Headless Horseman barreling through the streets with his flaming pumpkin on his black horse. I don't know if they do this anymore, as it's not shown in this video as the opening, but I will say it was a sight to see, that really got my attention. The parade features the Disney characters donning costumes along with prominently featuring the villains, who's floats are awesome I might add. It's your standard parade stuff other than that except for the gravediggers. The gravediggers are friggin' awesome. They have a choreographed "dance" that involves them scraping their shovels on the concrete to produce sparks. It's probably the coolest sight I've seen in a Disney parade. I'm so glad Disney Parks are streaming all these things for those that don't get to see them. If you think they look cool on video though, they're even more amazing in person. Check out the video, & not only do I want to know what you think, but what's your favorite Disney parade? Put it in the comments, like, & share.

They're the best place to celebrate the holidays, with special treats, character dance parties, awesome parades, & your favorite Disney characters all dressed up for the occasion. These are special events aside from regular park tickets, & guess what that means? Yup, shorter lines. So here are the official dates to get your holiday party on:
2017 Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party Schedule: August 25, 29, September 1, 7, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19, 22, 24, 26, 29, October 1, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20, 22, 24, 26, 27, 29, 31, November 1

Disney Announces Headless Horseman Meet & Greet
So, we went to Mickey's Not-so-Scary Halloween Party last year for the first time, and one of the highlights, besides the multitude of candy, was the Halloween parade being started off by The Headless Horseman barreling through the Magic Kingdom. Orlando Weekly reports that this year The Headless Horseman will get even more than just the honor of starting the parade. Select nights between September 29th and October 31st a Legend of Sleepy Hollow event will take place. This will have a meet & greet with the headless haunt of Ichabod Crane, along with a screening of the 1949 animated film. Guests will also receive a limited edition Headless Horseman collectible pin. As per the parks, there's an extra cost to attend. There's also a premium package for even an extra cost on top of that. It includes seating for the film in the first five rows, priority access to the meet and greet, and a special Sleepy Hollow treat bag to keep the multitude of candy we were talking about earlier in. All together sounds like a great addition to what was already a great party. If you're even thinking about putting this on your list to do, it is definitely worth going, & that was last year. With this addition, covering an all-time favorite story of mine, I might have to find a way to squeeze it in again this year. What do you think is everyone else is a Sleepy Hollow crazy as I am?
