Disney or die

I missed a day on Monday so will cover that one in a quick summary. We all went to Hollywood Studios in the morning. Jason and I stayed for a few rides and then we left to boys with the rest of the group and had a nice quiet lunch together at Le Cellier in "Canada". It was good to have a little break from the boys. We spent the evening shopping at downtown Disney. My boys have clearly inherited the shopping gene from me as at 9.45 they were still begging for one more shop. They have been pretty careful with their money and have only spent about $150 each of their money. The Lego store almost broke Campbell but we managed to get out with only a $30 spend.
Yesterday we dropped the Starretts off at Animal Kingdom and the five of us continued on to the "Winter Summerland" mini golf course. This was pretty fun although Flynn started off hitting the balls so hard they were flying into the air. Having completed a few holes without killing anyone, he settled in and proceeded to get three hole in ones in a row. The course had a satisfying amount of moving parts that really delighted the boys and it was hard to drag them away. We had lunch and a swim back at the resort to give everyone time to rest up for Mickey's not so scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom. We then trecked over to Animal Kingdom Lodge to have an early dinner at Boma. This was an African buffett style restaurant that gets great online reviews. I doubt the authenticy of the "african food" given the sugar and salt content but it was fun to try something a little different. After a quick look around the resort we hopped on the bus to go to the halloween party. We didn't dress up and the boys were a little sorry about this when they saw all the costumes. There were some pretty good ones. The boys were given trick or treat bags and off they went to the treat stations. Needless to say we have quite a bit of candy to take home. We spent a long time waiting for the parade, which was just OK. We managed a quick ride on Peter Pan before we left. It is a very old fashioned ride but I remember it from when I was little and it has some nostalgia attached to it. Flynn sat in the pirate ship between Jason and I and really liked it but pretended to everyone that he didn't ( too lame a ride for a daredevil). We were lucky enough to get a bus as soon as we left the park and everybody crashed right away.
