You've Been BOO'ed!

Around Halloween, one of our favorite family traditions is to ding-dong-ditch friends & neighbors. We pack up several plates of goodies, attach the following poem & watch as the ghosts take over the neighborhood...


You’ve Been BOO'ed!
The air is cool, it’s time for fall,
Soon Halloween will come to all
Ghosts and goblins, spooks galore,
Tricky witches at your door.

The spooks are after things to do,
In fact a spook brought this to you !!!
The treats that came with this short note,
Are yours to keep, enjoy them both.

The excitement comes when friends like you,
Will copy it & make it two,

We'll all have smiles upon our faces,
No one will know who BOOed our places!

Just be sure that you don’t tell,
Keep it secret, hide it well.
Please join the fun, the seasons here.

Just spread these "BOO's" & Halloween cheer.

Want to start the tradition in your neighborhood as well this year? Print out your very own "You've Been BOO'ed!" template HERE .

Disneyland's Halloween Screams Fireworks Show

Have you figured out yet how much we LOVE Halloween Time at Disneyland yet? We've always been big Disneyland fans, but when the "villains" took over the Parks, they really outdid themselves! & Although the "boo-tiful" decorations, yummy" treats" & spooky-fied rides are all incredible, I think, no, I know,  my absolute favorite Halloween Time addition is definitely the Disneyland Halloween Screams Firework Show. It is amazing! Absolutely A-mazing! Once again, the "villains" know how to take care of business...  As the fireworks explode in the night sky, the castle is bathed in ghostly lights, all the while each of the "villains" takes his or her turn commanding "center stage," so to speak. But, words alone can't even begin to describe the firework show (or extravaganza as I like to think of it), you absolutely have to see it! Here's your personal 11-minute sneak peak of the Disneyland Halloween Screams Firework Show. (And if you want to catch the real thing, all you have to do is head on out to Disneyland before November 1st).





Can't watch all 11-minutes? Not a problem.  Here's Disneyland's 30-second version...
