Mickey's Halloween Party 2010

We have always loved trick-or-treating Disney style, at California Adventure the past few years.

Remember 2009? And who could forget 2008?

It is definitely a high-light of the haunted season for my family. Have you made it a wicked tradition in your family yet? Well now is the perfect time! This year it is even more special, because it moved to Disneyland and changed it's name!

*Disclosure: Thanks to my friends at Disney, I got a chance to go there on October 1st, (opening night) and was it Terrifically Terrifying! (not really scary, I just thought those 2 words went together well)

Yay! 

   

Who's Cooking in the Muppets Kitchen?

 Who's Cooking in the Muppets Kitchen?

  CAT CORA!                               That's Who!

 

                 (Isn't she Adorable???)                                 (And she's REALLY Nice too!!!)

And What's she Cooking?

Hasty Tasty Treats for everyone with the help of The Muppets!

 

Recipe for a Good Time:

Last week a few mommies and I got to share quite a tasty experience. We were invited to the Disney Studios in Burbank, to meet Cat Cora and learn all about her new web Series with the Muppets.

Well, you already know I'm a complete Disney Fanatic. So going to the Disney Studios was pretty awesome for me. 

  

What I liked about it was how funny, cute & clever these little skits are. It just reminds me of why I loved the Muppets as a child, and why parents love them too. The Muppets that were there in the Studio with us were Pepe and Angelo. They had a great chemistry with Cat and really made the cooking session FUN. Pepe was even tweeting live from the show. *(Follow them on Twitter @MuppetsStudio)

Meeting Cat was also a thrill. As the First female Iron Chef on the Food Network, I have admired her for years and enjoyed watching her throw down with the boys on Iron Chef. When she wins, I always cheer extra loud! We each got a new copy of her book, and she signed them for us. She was very gracious and kind, which is so refreshing when a celebrity is so genuine. She also had some good tips that I will be sure to use in and out of the kitchen.

We've all heard the saying "Don't Play With Your Food." Well I highly disagree. Making food fun is one of the most important things you can do for them. Getting in the kitchen and cooking together. Teaching them about a variety of different things. Especially for picky eaters, like my daughter, adding new foods into the equation. Even if she doesn't eat them, right now. Hopefully she'll learn to appreciate more vegetables, and less potato chips! I think I'm on the right track...

 

Thanks to Cat, Angelo, Pepe, Disney Interactive Media, Dana, Kirsten, Brett, and all of the childcare girls for making this event so delicious!!! 

*Moms and Dads: If you're looking for something new to do with your kids (which we always are)... I recommend you go to The Muppets Kitchen Online for recipes for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. You'll laugh together, you'll cook together, and you'll whip up memories and healthy eats for your family.

It's Here...... I got the press release couldn't wait to share the news. As you know I'm a huge fan of Disneyland Resort. There's no place in the world like Disney for the Holidays and from September to January I can't stay away!!! Halloween Time is no exception.
The last few weeks I have been sharing my last few years of Mickey's Trick or Treat Party in the hopes of getting you all in the mood. I am sad to hear the prices of ticket are keeping some of you from coming out to play this year. Just a reminder, there are special discounts for annual pass holders!

Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort

Halloween Time has made it's way to So Cal, and it's going on now through October 31st at Disneyland Resort. Get ready to be dazzled in the most spook-tacular way!

 

My family and I just went to the Disneyland Resort this past weekend & had a pumpkin, er,  I mean ball. There are SO many festive sights, sounds and smells for the little ones and not so little ones. They really did an amazing job of getting us in the Halloween mood. Everywhere you look there are orange and black decor, pumpkins, fall leaves and more! If you have never been to Disneyland during Halloween Time, you really must go.

Also we will be attending MICKEY'S HALLOWEEN PARTY soon, so we will give you the low down on that too! (It's the separate ticketed event where kids and adults can dress up and trick-or-treat inside the park.)

  Halloween Time Highlights  

• Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland is transformed for the PUMPKIN FESTIVAL. More than 300 pumpkins will be on display in shop windows and none of them are the same!

 

• Meeting Disney characters will be easier than ever as Disney villains gather to plot Halloween mischief at “it’s a small world” Mall in Disneyland, while other characters in spooky attire greet guests in Town Square, Main Street, U.S.A.

• Special Halloween treats will be available in Disneyland, including menu items such as Zero’s Ghostly Ghoulash, served in a dog dish in honor of Zero.

 

• Halloween Time gifts are offered in Disneyland Resort shops. Gifts include jack- o-lantern mouse ears and collectable pins depicting Mickey Mouse and his friends in Halloween costumes.

  

• Jack Skellington also returns to take over the Haunted Mansion and bring back Haunted Mansion Holiday to New Orleans Square in Disneyland, inspired by “Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas.” 

• The "Haunted" version of Space Mountain aka Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy. Ghosts appear out of the starry darkness and swirling galaxies of Space Mountain, reaching out as if to grab guests as they speed through space. The exhilarating drops and curves of the journey are punctuated by piercing screams, creepy sound effects and haunting music.

• For spine-tingling fun, drop in at The Twilight Zone™ Tower of Terror at Disney California Adventure park, where a “supernatural” event happened on Halloween evening, 1939, forever haunting the building.

And don't forget to go VOTE for your favorite Disney Villian!

(as of today: MALEFICENT is in the lead)
