One of the perks of being a Florida resident is obviously DISNEY WORLD! I have always loved going, and it's even more magical as a Mother. Our oldest son's birthday is in October and my Mom and I started a tradition of taking him to MNSSHP every year around his birthday before Covid when they stopped the parties. This year my husband and I surprised the boys and took all three to MNSSHP on our oldest son's birthday, and it was a special day I will forever remember!
Cayden's most recent MNSSHP 2022
Cayden's first MNSSHP 2015
I personally prefer visiting Magic Kingdom for this event over any other time during the year because there are so many fun activities, lines for attractions are much shorter and you literally get bags of candy. Not just any candy, the good stuff! ;)
When I plan a trip to Disney, I like to stay at the Disney Resort and enjoy the whole experience. It's also nice that they have trams that transport you to the parks. During our most recent visit we stayed at the Disney's All-Star Sports Resort, and the boys absolutely loved it. One of our favorite parts of staying at a Disney Resort is the Mickey Waffles.
We went to Orlando early afternoon and checked into the resort, where we revealed the surprise to the boys. Then we changed into our Disney outfits, and we packed their costumes that they changed into later on in the evening. I got our Disney shirts from some of my favorite small businesses!
We got there just in time to catch the parade and enjoy the park for a few hours before the party started. Even though the MNSSHP started at 7:00, with the party ticket you can get in and enjoy the park as early as 4:00.
All three of our boys enjoyed riding rides, and that made it fun for the whole family! I think that's what I enjoy so much about Disney, we all can enjoy the fun together! I have to say, seeing Hudson's face light up while we were in the boat on the It's A Small World attraction, was a highlight of the night. I think the only downfall that night was the fact that he was mad we wouldn't let him jump in the water on the ride.
Coby was most excited for the dance party held in the Starlight Cafe, where he got to meet "Zed" from ZOMBIES. He didn't want to leave. Chris and I enjoyed watching the boys dance, and sing and thought it was so cool how they interacted with the kids.
I am a huge fan of Hocus Pocus (my birthday is the day after Halloween ;)) so I think my favorite part was seeing the Sanderson Sisters at the castle, and then of course the Halloween parade!
Lots of people asked if Hudson enjoyed Disney, and even though he is only a year and a half, he had a blast! We were surprised at how well he did, being such a late night! He did fall asleep right at the end. He absolutely LOVED dressing up as Donald Duck so of course we had to purchase a 50 Year Celebration Donald Duck for him!
All-in-all, it was a magical and very memorable night that I am so very grateful for! Everyone enjoyed it, and we can't wait to plan our next Disney trip!
Great article! So many delicious treats there and things to see!
