We’ve been going to the Disneyland Halloween Party for years – we even went with Maddie back in 2008. We weren’t able to swing it in 2016, so we were especially excited to go this year. As for our group costume, when James asked Mike if he’d go as the Luigi to his Mario, we realized it wouldn’t be hard for Annie and me to join in.
Presenting Bob-omb, Princess Peach, Mario, and Luigi! While Annie and the guys looked adorable, I was definitely the big winner when it came to comfort level: I was wearing yoga pants and a sweatshirt I sewed eyes onto! Best costume ever.
As always, Disneyland looked fantastic all decked out for Halloween. This year, California Adventure finally got a Halloween makeover and no surprise, it also looked amazing.
A few of the rides received Halloween makeovers, including the new Guardians of the Galaxy ride. If you recall, Mike did not enjoy that ride the first time he went on it. But we obviously had to go on the new version…and, well, I don’t think he’ll ever go on it again!
That picture makes me laugh until I cry.
Anyway, besides the Halloween rides, we had a blast trick-or-treating through the park. But as always, my kids absolutely loved the dance party. They are dance OBSESSED.
At the dance party they had a bunch of different costumed Pixar characters on the dance floor. I might have freaked out a little over these two:
I hugged Dug the Dog for what was probably an uncomfortable amount of time for the person inside the suit. I have no regrets.
Whenever Mike and James did something together, I laughed. It was hard not to giggle at Mario and Luigi, they were just so cute.
I just adore Halloween and I’m so glad my kids are as into it as I am. I’m especially glad that they are finally at a point where they appreciate fireworks!! We were able to watch the entire Halloween fireworks show without any screaming or crying about how loud it was.
It’s a Halloween miracle!

That picture of you and Mike needs to be framed. He handled the ride much better than I would have!!

OMG those are some GREAT costumes, and yep, yours for SURE wins for the comfort and creativity!! Also, not ashamed to say that I met Dug a few years back in CA, after making my family wait A LONG TIME for him to come out! And yeah, I might have also hugged him for an uncomfortably long time! Loooooooove Dug!

Twice now my family has been fortunate to attend Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween party in Florida and it is one of our FAVORITE things! Do they do the parade in CA also? We love it – love the music, love the theatrics, it’s just so fantastic!
Love seeing you guys all dressed up – one of my favorite parts is seeing families all coordinated together like you guys. Thanks, as always, for sharing! I have got to get out to CA and visit Disneyland!
