Trick or Treat Night Disney Style!

Last night Jon & I took Ethan to Trick or Treat Night at California Adventure. Ethan had a blast! I have never seen him so excited to be at the park. He was beaming from ear to ear the entire time. We stayed the entire night from 6:30 through 10:30, and he never slowed down. The entire park was decorated for Halloween, there were tons of trick or treat candy stations, music and dancing, and of course the rides. When we got to the park, everyone was pointing at Ethan in his Sully costume. Ethan kept saying, "Everybody is staring at me." I told Jon that there were going to be more Sully's in the park. He could not possibly be the ONLY ONE!...He was! There was not another Sully in the entire park, except for the actual Sully. All the cast members kept complimenting him on his costume. Ethan got a huge kick out of it.
We met up with Stacey, Briz, Taylor, and Brennan. Brennnan was Buzz Lightyear and Taylor was Jessie. Ethan and Taylor were inseparable the entire night. They walked hand in paw around the park getting candy and going to the rides. They even did the craziest thing while on the Heimlich ride. When the ride stopped to wait for the other caterpillar to let people off, Ethan and Taylor started to kiss each other. It was surprising, funny, and Stacey even had to say, "Hey, your mothers are right behind you." It was too funny for words!
The highlights for Ethan were going on the Monsters Inc. ride. He kept yelling this is MY ride because he was Sully. He was acting like Sully while in line. He entertained many people. He was even announced as the V.I.P. on the ride by the cast members because again he was SULLY. The second highlight occurred right after getting off of Monsters Inc.. Briz let us know that Sully was dancing at a zone across the way. When we got there, Sully was so excited to see Ethan (Sully) that he gave him the biggest hug. Ethan was excited, but very cautious being that he is afraid of the characters. Ethan danced and danced and danced with Sully (a safe distance away of course).


Ethan had such a wonderful time, and Jon & I had a blast watching him have so much fun! I am so glad that Ethan is able to experience things like this. At times I think, is he spoiled? But then I think, no. This is why Jon & I work so hard, so we can give him experiences that he will remember forever! It was a great night!
