525-543 Emporium for party shirts and ornament. Sent to hotel.
550 did bypass and got starter bag of candy and some pics.

Headed over to tables that face the tea cups.

749-833 Frontier trading post for pins. Checkout line was 10 minutes. So many duplicates of the mystery set
835-840 golden outpost for cider slush and caramel pretzel. Both were very good. Took a 10 minute break to eat.
850-900 ToT at Tortuga tavern. Then headed for main street.
905 ordered food from Casey's. Left one person there to collect order. And headed towards exit but just didn't make it. It was a hardship but i had to stop and wait for the headless horseman's ride....(sarcasm)
915 headless horseman's ride on main street. He no longer turns around at the gate he just rides straight out.
918 Headless horseman magic shot. There were 2 photographers and only 1 family when we arrived. SCORE!
walked back in mickey m&g side and found a front row parade spot in front of town hall. No more than 2 deep anywhere around.
938-953 parade on main street. We ate while we waited. Creeper crew showed up around 920.....
954-958 exchanged the 2 allergy tokens i had. Picture posted on page 414.
959-1003 photographers just returning to main street. Got 2 magic shots. Ballroom ghosts and jack o lantern.
Hit a snag here as i headed back to Ariel ride for skeleton dance magic shot. According to chandler it has been pulled due to guest feedback for improvements. Hoping to return for october party. Don't shot the messenger.
1015-1027 fireworks in fantasy land. We were completely surrounded with them going off. It was great. Best fireworks ever.
1028 ToT ariel grotto, no one else there
1029-1033 pirate goofy m&g
1035-1037 ToT train station short line
1050-1136:step sisters photo with DD. Asked but told no autographs. Philharmagic ToT 2 stops inside. Icobod crane and the headless horseman movie just ending as we walked thru. Went thru a second time and stopped in theater because the skeleton dance cartoon was just starting. We watched the whole cartoon before leaving.
ToT at cosmic rays. We did this line 2xs. Then headed to carousel of progress ToT stop. Lotso was just dancing his way out on break and gave up a wave. 2 families in his line. Next up was 2 trips on the monsters inc ToT trail. This had 2 candy stops. We had no wait in ToT lines after our 1037 stop.....
1137-1143 elvis stitch. The line closed while we were in it probably 1140ish. Don't know if it reopened.
1149-1159 Emporium for yet more merchandise that we decided we did need....
12-1205 cauldron magic shot on main street. I was told they would be out till 1am.
1205-1223 flew over to catch the last hocus pocus show that had just started. Not too crowded.
1225-1250 took an AC break in Casey's. Only one other table occupied.
1255-108 waited at bus stop for bus. As we walked up one pulled out.
122 arrived at our resort.
For our candy haul. We were 2 adults and 1 child. I listed all the stops. I do watch to see which cast member are being generous and chat with them. You usually get an extra handful especially when its kate and no one behind you. We left with enough candy to fill 8 gallon zipper bags. I have sorted it now to make classroom goodie bags for Halloween. Sorry i am not counting it! Gallon bags in the back, quart bags in the front
