After school on Friday, we picked up Cecily and went to Disneyland to check out some of the Halloween decorations. Since we would be going to Mickey's Halloween Treat at night, we decided to stay at the Disneyland Hotel. When we went to check-in, Cecily wanted to find Emily since the last time we were there, Emily and Hayden were staying at the hotel. After we checked-in, we took the monorail into Disneyland. We rode Winnie the Pooh, met Woody and Jessie at Woody's Halloween Round-Up, and watched the Parade of Dreams. Then we headed back to the hotel to enjoy the Concierge Lounge with our friends Paige and Dawn who also spent the night at the hotel with us.
After we had dinner, we changed into our costumes and headed to meet up with our friends at California Adventure for Mickey's Halloween Treat. We dressed up as the Round-Up Gang with Richard as Woody, Caren as Bullseye, and Cecily as Jessie. Dawn was the Queen of Hearts and Paige was Alice in Wonderland. Inside California Adventure, we trick-or-treated, took pictures with Disney characters, and rode some rides. Cecily's friends also dressed up: Tomi was JoJo, her brother Jack was Goliath, John was a kangaroo, his brother Jack was a lion, Jordyn was Belle, and Mollie was Ariel. We weren't able to find her other friends Emma, Ted, and Isobel.
Cecily had so much fun that she zonked out before the night was over. We took some pictures with characters before heading back to our hotel room.
Today, we got up bright and early to enjoy the early entry feature of our hotel stay. Richard got to sleep in while Caren, Cecily, Dawn, and Paige took the monorail into Disneyland. They skipped the LONG Nemo line by watching the ride in the Alternative Viewing Room. Then, they went on Dumbo, King Arthur's Carousel, the Tea Cups, Casey Jr. Circus Train, and Storybook Land Boats before heading back to the hotel in the front cabin of the monorail with the monorail captain.
Later in the afternoon, we enjoyed a free luau at our apartment complex. They served a buffet of delicious Hawaiin food and provided hula dancers for entertainment.
