"How about now?"
"Soon?"
A daily dose of cuteness from Tiny Duffy and Tiny Shellie May!

Duffy and Shellie May waiting at Cafe Orleans
"Can we eat yet?" asked Shellie May.
"How about now?"
"Soon?"

Disneyland Railroad at New Orleans Square
Quick stop at New Orleans Square.
Where do you think we are headed?

Fog in New Orleans Square on Halloween
Are you sorry Christmas is over? I am. But nothing chases away the blues like fog in New Orleans Square!
Spooky but pretty!
The post caps at the Jack Skellington meet-and-greet made me laugh.
(I'd already met him last year, which is good, because the line was long!)

Pirates are scary, right?
Lots of people like to dress as pirates for Halloween (I have!)
The Cast Members are supposed to ensure that every guest is wearing a wristband. The woman up front was fun here, making it like a game. "Everyone put your hands up and show me your wristbands!" etc.
Duffy did not have one. I guess his long sleeves hid it. Or maybe it's that he actually doesn't really have wrists, now that I think about it!

Speaking of lights!
The Golden Zephyr is nothing without its lights.
If I hadn't been so pressed for time and cheap, I would've installed more, though I'm not sure where I could've found a nice set of warm lights (the white ones were "cool white" and it shows). The orange ones in my hair aren't quite right but they're really cool fiber optics with a battery in the barrette!

New Orelans Square at Halloween/Christmas at night
Then some of our party had to use the restroom. Duffy and I waited.
We both thought the Christmas lights were very pretty. Rather early, but since Jack Skellington took over the Haunted Mansion, I guess it makes sense.

Inside the Cafe Orleans
Well, contrary to the title, we were seated outside (and I believe we were seated next to Miss Charlotte La Bouff herself!!!!). Very nice peoplewatching on Halloween.
"What should we get?" asked Duffy.
"We? What do you mean we?" I tousled his fur. "I don't want anything TOO big since we will be full of candy soon. Hm..."
Meanwhile, Ariel made use of the conveniently-placed dinglehopper.

Outside the Cafe Orleans
After the show, we high-tailed it over to New Orleans Square for our 5:30 (?) dinner reservation.
Funny story. I'd heard the sit-down restaurants closed for the Halloween party, so I asked for the latest possible reservation on our 6 PM - 11 PM party day. They happily scheduled me for 10:00 PM. Um, I didn't mean THAT late! So I rescheduled for 5:30 PM. When we went in 2010 (sans my Best Florida Friend), we found the party VERY VERY crowded around party start time, so we thought it would be nice to have a meal away from that, where we could just sit and peoplewatch and eat. We knew from experience that we couldn't last through the party without having a meal sometime around there!

Shellie May is scared
"Please don't make me go!" said Tiny Shellie May.
Despite the unhelpful photograph, she could tell where we were heading.
"We are going to take a very tiny raft to a very tiny island, aren't we?" said Tiny Shellie May.
"Don't be such a cub," said Tiny Duffy. "We'll be safe. Almost certainly."
"I wish that big safe ship went to the island," she sighed.
She tried to tug Tiny Duffy away, but he and I were steadfast!

Escaping the Haunted Mansion
We survived! When we emerged it was very piratical outside.
"I am confused," said Tiny Shellie May. "Why does a slow OmniMover ride frighten you so much, when a high-speed roller coaster does not?"
"Big Thunder Mountain isn't very fast," I said.
"Hey look," said Tiny Duffy. "Hidden Mickey!"
He was glad to change the subject from ghosts.

Jack and Sally
I am so glad Tiny Duffy and Tiny Shellie May let me meet Jack Skellington and Sally! They only come out for the Halloween and Christmas seasons.
Sally called me a tinkerbug, if I recall correctly, and told me to be careful not to get squished. Jack was fixated on the fact that the bears were very dead. I'm not quite sure what he meant by that, but I said I loved them anyway.
They made me laugh a lot; they were very funny. And the cast member with them was very nice (her job was very hard, as she had to keep telling people the line was closed) and took several pictures!

Another line?
"Wow," said Tiny Duffy. "What's that line for? It must be a fun ride."
"Actually," I said, "it's a meet-and-greet."
"Aw," said Tiny Duffy. "Wait. Is this a SPOOKY meet-and-greet?"
I squinted. "I do believe it is. Can we meet them?"
Tiny Duffy hesitated, then nodded. "Yes!"

Fear of Water
"Wow," said Tiny Shellie May. "That island is SO far away and there's SO much water."
"Don't be scared," said Tiny Duffy.
"Wait," I said. "Tiny Shellie May, you came from Tokyo Disney SEA. Why are you afraid of the Rivers of America?"
"I'm only scared of American water," she sniffed.
"Isn't Cape Cod in America?" I asked.
Tiny Shellie May just sniffed again.
"Don't be scared," said Tiny Duffy.

Dockside Dining
We did some shopping, then checked the wait board.
This is the Sunday after Thanksgiving, 2011, about 8:12 PM (give or take a bit).
The bears thought it would be fun to get a picture somewhere maybe near the bridge to Adventureland?
The bears are not always right.
This is better!

Seriously--where are we?
If you couldn't tell, I take photos of wherever I am so I can keep track of where I went.
This must have been New Orleans Square around 11:27 PM.
Then I got a picture of red rocks at 11:30 PM--had to have been Big Thunder Mountain.
This is 11:35 PM...where are the bears? I would think Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (knowing me)...but I don't know!!!
Oh well. It was the last thing we did before heading home, and we liked it, whatever it was. At least, I'm pretty sure Tiny Duffy and Tiny Shellie May look happy!
