MNSSHP 2018

Haunted Mansion! Madam Carlotta was hilarious engaging guests....

Our 9.5 pounds of candy. And the Doom Buggy desert. I thought it looked a lot better than it tasted.

Have you ever ridden the monorail standing next to a man dressed as a giant rooster? I have.....

Hi Allie -

Joe and I both feel the crowds this year were heavier than previous years we have gone 2013 and 2016). Ride lines seems longer, especially Space Mountain and PotC, candy lines took longer to get through (at least for the first hour - lines seemed to be less congested as the night wore on), the parade was hard to see because we did not find a spot early and stay put.

The character meet lines were ridiculous, esp. Jack and Sally, but I think that is not new or unusual. I would have expected a lighter crowd at this point in September. The first time we went was mid-September, and the second time was mid-October. This was definitely busier than either of those times.

On the plus side, costumes were phenomenal, the shows and fireworks were spectacular and I would go again in a heartbeat!!! It was a blast best time yet.

At the bag check we were next to a lady who was Madam Leota, just like the tombstone outside the HM entrance. She had a tombstone and cut out a hole for her face and had her face painter that same green/gray color. It was spectaculor!! I wish I had taken a pic. Every time I saw her we waved at each other. It became a thing to see if we saw each other. I

Oh, and right after the bag check as we were walking to the monorail, I felt something poking my ass!! Joe was in front of me so I knew it wasn't him!! Hahaha. I turned and it was one of the security dogs sniffing me up. The security officer asked me to stand still because something looked "unusual" in my back pocket. It was just my phone. By habit I reached to pet the puppy dog and got a stern "Please do not pet the dog". Sorry, just instinct!!!

A few more pics...

Also took in some of the fall sights at Disney Springs.
