All Hallows’ Eve prep

 

A wonder-filled trip to the happiest place on earth turns out a little scarier than our last visit.

Freely dispensed paper masks helped everybody get in the mood.

Then we died and our heads were on display.

We finished up at Disneyland fairly late, as usual, but this time we didn’t have to make the 2-hour trek back to Shenzhen the same night.  We arranged a luxurious night’s stay at the Disneyland Resort Hotel.  Our children loved crashing in front of Disney short cartoons after their warm baths.

The next morning shared a gorgeous view from our insanely over-priced hotel, reminding us why we came.  Below is the Mickey Mouse Maze and our fantastic view of Discovery Bay in the South China Sea.

I met some strangers off the pier and they let me try fishing the cheap way.  I managed to lose all the food and the hook for them, and they still didn’t toss me over!

We finished up, came home, and found the only type of pumpkin available: extra small.

Still cute.  Happy Halloween prep!
