Can you guess the single most important event in my children’s lives right now? I’ll give you a hint. It’s not the birth of Jesus. Or the first day of school. It isn’t even their birthday.
It’s Halloween, of course.
Think about it. The chance to dress up as their favourite superheroes or idols. Free candy. Tons of spooky and ghoulish decor. Free candy. Songs and stories dedicated to witches, goblins and ghosts.
And, FREE CANDY.
Keeping their obsession in mind, when planning my family vacation to California (psst – hello! I’m currently blogging from the beach!), I was thrilled to see that our dates coincided with Mickey’s Halloween Party at Disneyland Resort. I’ll be back to tell you all about it after we join the party tomorrow night!
In the meantime…. drum roll please… may I present to you, my costume!
Okay, so the dress – which I picked up from Hot Topic – definitely isn’t as short or low cut as pictured. Or maybe I just don’t have the same height and boobage as the model. What I’m trying to say is, it’s very PG! And, I posted both the blue and red lipsticks as it will be a last-minute decision – not sure I can rock blue lipstick, know what I mean? Finally, thank goodness Reid offered to lend me his R2D2 Mickey Ears… it really completes the costume! Though he *did* wear it better, I’m sure.
I’ll be sure to post photos during and after the event – follow me on Twitter and Instagram for all the fun! And, if you’re wondering what my two little Halloween lovers are going as… we’ll have a little Captain America and Spider-Man trick-or-treating tomorrow night!
That is an awesome outfit.
r2d2 as a dress? stop my beating heart.
That’s really cute
Can’t wait to see the pictures.
Very cool!
just add rollerstakes to add to the costume
I vote for a combo of the 2 lipsticks – blue with a red liner would look fun!
Love it Lena, very cute!!
What a fun look! I would love to visit Disneyland at Hallowe’en time.
Star Wars and Disney. Just add Lego to complete the trifecta of uber fun.
Love your costume! Have fun!
Gonna have to see you in this, looks like a great costume, it’s original, love it!!!
a c3po helmet would work well as a trick or treat bag
Lovely costume! Really tempted to get one for myself :)
Halloween is my families favorite time of year, we decorate more for Halloween then we do for Christmas! My daughter is going as Captain America this year too. My oldest is 13 and I am pretty sure he will not be trick or treating this year. Which leaves us free to take her out trick or treating and he can hand out candy right?? I remember that’s what I had to do when my brothers were younger and I was too old to go out.
That is a super cool outfit!
This is an awesome halloween costume! Have never dressed up for halloween since I was a kid, but, nice adult costume!!!!
What a great place to spend Halloween! I never thought of it before, but it would be perfect!
very cute costume. if I didn’t already have my costume partially put together I would totally give this a go.
That outfil is the bomb
