On our Disney trip last month I made sure we got tickets to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party! Tickets for the rest of the parties this month are sold out, but if you happen to be at Magic Kingdom on the night of a party you could always ask guest services if they have any day-of tickets (unlikely.)
These photos are obviously from before Halloween as I'm at the pumpkin patch, but I feel like pumpkins and gourds are still great decor all the way up through Thanksgiving. I still have all 12 (they were 12 for $20, haha) gourds we bought on this trip and my pumpkin since we didn't have time to carve it.
While I'm all for decorating for Christmas as early as you want I still like to keep it more Fall themed until closer to Thanksgiving (I usually start decorating Thanksgiving night, haha.) This year I'm decorating before - probably this week - since we only have three and a half weeks after Thanksgiving to get all our Christmas cheer out!
On to the outfit, I was originally going to go sans vest, but in the end I knew it would be a bit cold at the pumpkin patch so I threw on one of my faux fur vests to keep the chill off.
Vest: Simply Vera Vera Wang faux fur shawl vest c/o Kohl's, Double V-Neck Cashmere Sweater: Calypso St. Barth 'Gylden' (shop more v neck sweaters), Jeans: J Brand 'Mid Rise Photo Ready Super Skinny Jean' (shop more J Brand jeans), Boots: Eighteen 68 'Megan' (Gilt Groupe), Leather Bag: Bought in Italy

I went to Disney a week and a half ago to celebrate my 30th birthday and my friend Kristen and I went to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. It's an event held a few nights a week from August to October. You get to stay at the park late (the party is from 7pm - midnight and normal guests leave the park at 6) to go Trick-or-Treating, meet with characters for photos and some of the rides have added Halloween fun! There's also a special Hocus Pocus show, Boo To You Halloween Parade and Halloween aka HalloWishes fireworks!
The party was so much fun and totally worth the extra money for a ticket. We got TONS of candy to bring home and enjoy until Halloween. Even if you don't have a theme park ticket for the day, you are able to go in to the parks beginning at 4pm. So this is a cheaper option to get into the park and with less people during the party. But I will say getting into the park around this time will be a mad house of people. But once you're in it's a pleasant amount of people.
With just over a week left until Halloween there's not much time left to figure out your costume! Here's a super easy costume to put together with just a few items. For the party I decided to be one of my favorite characters - Sorcerer Mickey! My Sorcerer Mickey costume couldn't be easier. All I needed was a red dress, gold cord, tights and boots. You'll also want a blue witches hat to put stars, a moon and ears on. I got mine at Disney World ready made.
I wanted my dress to look like Sorcerer Mickey's cape so I found a dress with wider sleeves that fit the bill perfectly. It's on sale for under $10 right now, and I only paid $14, quite the steal! To replicate his pants I just wore blue tights and then my black boots because they are the most comfortable to walk around in. While searching for the boots for this post I FINALLY found my size on Poshmark so I had to buy them again because these are dying after being VERY loved for 4 years. They've been all over the world and walked hundreds (seriously, at least 100) of miles with me. I used ad money that was just added to my PayPal. So perfect!
Red Dress: ASOS, Belt: Gold Metallic Twisted Cord, Boots: Vince Camuto 'Davilla' (Marshalls), Sorcerer Mickey Ear Hat from Disney, Sunglasses: Ray Ban 'Erika', Eyeglasses chain: Tinksky (Amazon), Bag: Dooney & Bourke 2017 Sorcerer Mickey Disney Shopper Tote (eBay)
And some more photos from the party.

Happy Halloween from Willy Wonka and myself! (still reusing the same photos from this post because I never go anywhere, haha. One day I'll actually wear this to a party.)
Happy Halloween everyone!!!! I hope you all have more exciting plans than me. I'll just be having a Halloween movie marathon by myself. Casper, Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown, Teen Witch and more! Even though I'm not going out I put together a super quick pumpkin costume instead of sharing my Willy Wonka for the 3rd year, haha.
Tee: Everlane, Dress: Miss Selfridge (Lord & Taylor), Over-the-Knee Boots: Audrey Brooke 'Mirie' (DSW)

Two days until Halloween! I've been slacking in the Halloween movie watching department this year. I've only watched my favorites once or twice, usually I watch them way more than that because I am insane and have no life. I'll make up for it on Saturday with a nice long marathon since I won't be going out for Halloween. Last weekend I went to the pumpkin patch with my siblings like we used to do every year. The past couple years it has just been my sister, her boyfriend and I going but this year one of my brothers joined in! (The other is away at school otherwise he would have come)
Sweater: target, Cardigan: Ralph Lauren Denim c/o Marshalls, Jeans: Michael Kors (Marshalls), Boots: Eighteen 68 'Megan' (Gilt)
And now some photos from the pumpkin patch! Jones Family Farms for those of you in Connecticut. I think we all did an amazing job with our pumpkins! I found one that had green leopard-like spots covering half of it so I decided to do a cat pumpkin. My sister, who is far more artistic than me, drew the face for me and I slaved away carving it out, ha ha.
