Welcome to the DisLove Podcast with Vanessa and Kris.

Kris Johns: 0:07

I'm Vanessa Ferguson and I'm Kris Johns.

Vanessa Ferguson: 0:09

We would like to welcome you to show number 137 and for any listeners joining us for the first time, our show features things we love at Disney and in each episode we have a guest who creates Disney magic for our listeners at home or on their Disney vacation. From vacation planners to product producers, our guests can bring Disney magic into your life. And, as a reminder to our listeners, we appreciate if you can take time to leave us a review on Apple Podcast or any other platform where you listen. We always enjoy giving shoutouts to those listeners and, of course, that helps the show grow.

Vanessa Ferguson: 0:43

And on today's show we are going to be joined by Kalyn with a scoop of Glitz LLC. She has all sorts of really fun glitter products, including custom hair gels and other fun accessories. We even got a chance to use some of her products on a trip we just took, including when we were attending Mickey's Not so Scary Halloween Party, which is what we will be reviewing today. And when we attended the party, not only did we use Kailin's products, we also got to if you check out our last episode where we talked about Halloween across Walt Disney World and we used one of the story hunts done by Next Page with Meg. So definitely check the last episode out as well if you're interested in all things Disney Halloween. So we're going to talk.

Vanessa Ferguson: 1:30

I'll give a quick review if for anybody who didn't listen to our last episode, where we talked a lot of different Halloween stuff. But this one is just going to focus on the Mickey's Not so Scary Halloween Party and I'll give a quick review of that. But before we talk about some of the general things about it, what was just your general feeling about the party, Kris?

Kris Johns: 1:50

It was really nice. I think the weather was perfect, so it was one of those things where you could enjoy excellent weather in your costume. I know in years past we dressed up and it was warm and it makes it just for a different experience. But there was just a little bit of rain to deal with which I think helped with the heat and it also helped moderate some of the crowds.

Vanessa Ferguson: 2:08

Yes. So as a point of reference, I think it had been almost nine years since Kris had gone. I was there in 2019, right before the pandemic, so it had been a while since we had been to the Halloween party. And for any of you who've not attended or just kind of as a reminder, the Mickey's Not so Scary Halloween Party is one of those separate ticketed events. It's at Magic Kingdom and you pay a separate cost. It varies. There's some discounts, like we were able to get a Disney Vacation Club discount. Certain nights there's discounts available. Certain nights there's not. The cost can be more than a one day ticket. So it's something to think about.

Vanessa Ferguson: 2:51

We didn't even go to a park that day. We did kind of. We did some family photos earlier in the day with Chapman Photography at Grand Floridian. Then we went to a dinner at Ohana early dinner at 3.30. And then we headed over for the party. So we've done both. We've done where. We went to the parks all day and then stayed for the party. If you're at the park where the party is, sometimes it can be busy or not busy. It kind of just depends, because sometimes people avoid that park, you will sometimes have a lot of people who are going to the party there. I will say this time I think it worked out nice so you can get in as early as four o'clock. The lines have been very, very long. We took the monorail to go over to the Polynesian to eat our dinner. I think we went in front of Magic Kingdom around three o'clock and they were already lined way up.

Kris Johns: 3:41

Yes, I think, like most things, disney, if there's something, would it be exclusive and exclusive experience or a bucket. People will get there early, and this was no different.

Vanessa Ferguson: 3:51

Yes. So what a lot of people arrive early for is. There are exclusive characters and one of the big ones that is that people line up right at four o'clock for is the characters from. They want to see the characters from Nightmare Before Christmas, because this is really the only place you can see them. So Jack, skellington and Sally there's huge lines for those. So those people that we saw when we were on the monorail were lined up for them. I will say that's not an interest to us, so we weren't concerned about that. We had the earliest dinner reservation at Ohana. We ended up being a little bit longer because there was a fire drill in the middle.

Kris Johns: 4:31

Yes, right in the middle of dinner service, which at one point people didn't really think it was serious, but it was yeah, we had to leave. So we all had to leave and we had. You know, my mom was in a scooter, so that just took a little bit of effort, but overall we were able to get back to our seat and enjoy the rest of our food.

Vanessa Ferguson: 4:45

Yeah, so I think we made it to the park. It was around 5.30, 6.00, closer to 6.00. So we missed those lines. We walked right in, which was nice for us.

Vanessa Ferguson: 4:57

And if you're not familiar, what they do is they give you a wristband and they have you take the walkway that will be closed off during normal times, to the right of like when you're first entering the park. So you get your trick or treat bag, which that's one of the things you get to trick or treat all night. There's special food offerings, there are special shows, different things like that which we'll talk about. You get your trick or treat bag, you get a full-size bag of M&Ms and there's some cute little statues and stuff you can take your pictures by. And then what they essentially do is you come out near the Plaza restaurant and from there you can go to whatever part of the park.

Vanessa Ferguson: 5:36

The park technically closes to day guests at 6.00 and then at 7.00 the party kicks off. So it's kind of that one hour interim period to get people in and out of the park. I will say it was pretty busy at that 5.30-ish time because I think there were still people that were there for the day trying to get in a few rides, and then there were all the guests for the party arriving, so we ended up we just did the people mover, which is one of our favorite things to do anyways.

Kris Johns: 6:02

It was really fun. It was just nice to sit and join again. The weather was just right where there was rain on the forecast and you can kind of feel a little bit. But just a little sprinkle, but overall the weather was perfect. Perfect people mover weather yes.

Vanessa Ferguson: 6:16

So, as Kris had kind of mentioned earlier, in years past we've done full costumes. There was some people there in very elaborate costumes. This year we opted because we had my parents and my mother-in-law with us. We decided to. We just did matching t-shirts and I will say, because it did rain a little bit, I'm kind of glad we had on shirts and not costumes that I don't know. We've had some costumes. I don't want to really use the word sticky, but you kind of get sticky if you get wet in certain costumes and materials. So we had t-shirts and just shorts on and that worked out perfectly.

Vanessa Ferguson: 6:48

There are rules about costumes. So one of the things that's important to remember is kids 13 and under are the only ones that can wear masks. There are some rules about making sure that you can see through them, et cetera, but adults which starts at age 14, you are not allowed to wear masks. But you can wear costumes for characters. The big thing is they say you should not be signing autographs. So if you're dressed as Cinderella, don't stop and sign autographs. But that's something to keep in mind.

Vanessa Ferguson: 7:18

So what we did from there is really, by the time we got off the People Mover, they were already starting to do the trick or treat spots. So how this works is the trick or treat spots are set up around the park and they do close some of the shows. So we were in Tomorrowland so we went by Carousel of Progress. They had that shut down to have a trick or treat spot for an Adventureland. The Tiki Room is shut down to have a spot. Country Bear is shut down.

Vanessa Ferguson: 7:46

So there's certain shows that are not gonna be open. I think all of the rides I can't think of any rides that are closed All of the rides are open, but they do close some of those shows to make room for the trick or treat spots. So right away with the first stop they fill up. They were giving you scoopfuls of candy and I will say a little bit after that, my mother-in-law ended up leaving. She wasn't feeling great and I think she still had half a bag of candy and we had only went to like two trick or treat spots.

Kris Johns: 8:13

Yes, they definitely front load you with a lot of candy.

Vanessa Ferguson: 8:16

Very nice, bring an extra bag.

Kris Johns: 8:18

Bring an extra bag.

Vanessa Ferguson: 8:18

yes, we had a couple of large bags and a drawstring backpack because you really need it. We'll talk more about how much candy we ended with at the end of the night in a little bit. But so they had the trick or treat spots and then from there what we decided to do is we kind of prioritized. We had our fun scavenger hunt from Next Page with Meg, so we were already starting to do some of the questions with that, which is fun because it's integrated into all parts of the park. We went to some of the photo ops so they do have special photo ops with backdrops, like we had. There was a really cool Mr Toad one that we did later in the evening. We did some of the special effect ones at Haunted Mansion, which are super fun to do, and we also decided for us we wanted to spend some time with characters that we knew our daughter would like. So we ended up we went to Adventureland and we waited in line and we saw Jasmine and Jeannie and Jafar, which was really great. Our daughter enjoyed that a lot, I will say, because we did have some rain. They did some modifications with some of the entertainment. So what will happen is there are stage shows at in front of the castle. There's one in tomorrow land. There are also some fun party sorts of things for kids. So I took when it was raining a little bit I talk took our daughter into Cosmic rays and they had a Disney junior dance party and this was super fun. Even if you are not a little one, you might enjoy it. They have a DJ playing lots of Familiar Disney tunes and they brought in characters that you don't normally see. Now here's one thing You're not gonna be able to pose with these characters. I got pictures of where my daughter is in the audience dancing with these characters, but they're not gonna stop and take pictures. So they had Doc Mcstuffins, they had Max, so goofy son Max was there. He was like leading some of the dances and fun things like that. They had a couple of characters from Lion King, so you get to interact with them, but you're not gonna, hey, stop and take a post picture. So at some of these events that's important to know. This was just at the Disney junior dance party and that was that cosmic rays. We also went and saw a little bit later parts of the stage.

Vanessa Ferguson: 10:36

Shows you, the show in front of the castle is super fun. It's a hocus pocus one. We only saw part of it this time. I saw the whole show in years past and even if you're not a hocus pocus fan, it's just got a lot of fun elements to that show as well.

Vanessa Ferguson: 10:52

Now, what happens when it rains? So there are two parades and there is one showing of the fireworks, because it was kind of drizzling. For the first parade they had a condensed calvacade, like they do when we've gone to the villains and some of the other ones. We ended up we were gonna go watch it and by time we got out of line with Jasmine it was already over. That's how short these were. But the good news was is that even though they cancelled the first parade later in the evening, they still had the full parade. So something happens and they have to cancel any of the shows or a parade check back, because it doesn't mean that the second one isn't gonna happen. So we were fortunate and we got to see the boot to you parade later that evening. We got to see the second one after the fireworks. And I tell you what, if you've not seen, I'm not a parade person but I would say this boot to you parade is one of my favorite Disney parade yes, it has a lot of pizzazz.

Kris Johns: 11:48

There's just something going on. There's so many wonderful things. I think the best part about it is it brings out characters you don't see yeah so there's really an exclusivity that you better really enjoy this parade because I think if you're at have a Disney go where you've seen the parade, a lot of the characters, I've seen that person before. Well, when it's a booty, you you better be watching. It's new to you. Because you better be watching, because there's gonna be characters are gonna go away and not come out for another eleven months.

Vanessa Ferguson: 12:13

Yes, so in it's very catchy tune when neither one of us are singers. So we will spare you that. But I'll put a link to the Song in the show notes because it's just fun and you get it in your head. Even talking about it right now, I have it stuck in my head. So we ended up. I will say what we decided is trick or treating wasn't a priority for us, but we did it. I know there's some people that trick or treat and hit every stop. For us, we didn't hit every stop, and there's even a trick or treat trail that you enter by tron and that you take along the pathway that goes all the way back to buy like Dumbo. We didn't take that either, and between five of us and my parents ended up at a few stops or than us. Okay, here, Kris, I don't know if you really listen to this do you know how much? How many pounds of candy we ended up with in? This was just like not going out of our way to Net for pounds more Eight pounds.

Vanessa Ferguson: 13:08

Sixteen and a half pounds.

Kris Johns: 13:10

Wow, I was not listening, yes, nor paying attention.

Vanessa Ferguson: 13:13

So we got sixteen and a half pounds of candy. And this is good candy. It's Mars, so there's M&M's, milky Way, snickers, starbursts, skittles lots of great candy. So we did not go out of our way to get candy and we had sixteen and a half pounds of candy. So I know people who do go out of the way end up with even more. So that's something to keep in mind. They do have special stops for people with allergies. The last time I had been, I had been with a friend who had some allergies and they're really great about that. So it's nice that you can still go and enjoy the party and get those treats. Now there's also lots of really great food that you can try during the party. That's only available during the party, like, for instance, I know, at Cosmic Rays. They had several different items and some really tasty looking things, but we had eaten at Ohana's and we had eaten a lot of food at Ohana's, so we did not partake. I don't think. I think you might have got an ice cream thing right.

Kris Johns: 14:11

I did and it was horrible.

Vanessa Ferguson: 14:13

Well, but it wasn't one of the exclusive.

Kris Johns: 14:14

It was. It was yes, it was not good, well, that's a bummer.

Vanessa Ferguson: 14:18

Which item was it? Do you remember it?

Kris Johns: 14:20

was like a black velvet cookie. I just wanted chocolate chip cookie with cookies and cream. Oh no, we have the special one. It's good. It was not good, it was not very good.

Vanessa Ferguson: 14:31

And if you've listened to the show for a long time, you know Kris is always chasing the elusive chocolate chip ice cream cookie sandwich and this one did not meet his standards. So that was the only food that we really tried during the party. But in years past I have tried lots of different things. I will say if you want to do the food you should plan it out ahead of time, because certain places have desserts, certain places have like entree kind of things. I did buy a special zipper at Peck O's Bill. I got a Donald Duck Halloween zipper. That is super cute. He's a candy corn, so they do have some of that sort of stuff. The other thing that we decided to kind of skip on, because we were getting on a Halloween sailing the next day on the wish. We didn't spend time looking for merchandise either. In years past we've gotten Spirit Jerseys or special things. There's a really cool thing that I'm actually wanted to do but I forgot. On Main Street in the Crystal Shop they will do some hand blown glass pumpkins that say Mickey's not so scary Halloween party that you can only get during the party, and we unfortunately forgot about it and didn't buy them that night. But overall we ended up.

Vanessa Ferguson: 15:44

We saw a lot of the entertainment so over by the Pirates of the Caribbean. We saw the band that playing. We saw a lot of the other music and some of the other parts of the park. We went on Pirates, we went on a few different rides that were important for us to enjoy. But overall I think we just kind of took our time soaking it in and going around and hitting up things that we knew we wanted to do. We did do the virtual queue for Tron. This was the first time Kris and I had ever ridden Tron. So if you're going to any of the after hours things at six o'clock you can enter the virtual queue and we ended up with a very late virtual queue. We went, I think, at like 1145 is when we ended up riding very late.

Vanessa Ferguson: 16:30

But we had the queue. And that's an advantage too, because if you are there during the day and you miss out getting on a ride, you can get on the virtual queue for that and really doesn't impact the Halloween party. But we had a lot of fun on Tron.

Kris Johns: 16:44

It was a lot of fun.

Vanessa Ferguson: 16:45

Yeah. So Kris wasn't too sure about it, but we enjoyed it in the end. But overall, I think the biggest thing is I felt, like from friends who've gone in the last few years since COVID that the party was finally back to its full capacity. You had full entertainment, full candy, there was nothing missing. That I remember from when I last went in 2019. So I think that's great to see that the party's back, everything's back in full tilt. So that's super exciting to see and I think it continues to be those iconic things For me. I think you could skip a day in the park. If budget was important for you and you couldn't afford to have a park ticket that day and go to just the Halloween party. I would definitely skip a day to the park and go to the party.

Kris Johns: 17:30

Definitely You're going to have access to rides you know again Tron, the newest ones. There's going to be a line, but it's Disney. But the main thing is just, it's at night, it's a bit cooler and we will enjoy the earlier part of the day and really make the most of our Mickey's not so scary Halloween adventure.

Vanessa Ferguson: 17:47

Yes, so overall that was kind of our experience. It was a little bit different too because we had our daughter with us, so we were trying to hit up like the Disney Junior dance party and hitting up characters that we would normally maybe not wait for. So it was kind of fun to do that and I think overall these after hours events whether it's Christmas, just that regular after hours of the Halloween these continue to be some of my favorite events Disney puts on.

Kris Johns: 18:11

Definitely.

Vanessa Ferguson: 18:13

So we look forward to we'll share lots of pictures with you some more information about the part or about the party. You can go back and listen to the last episode where we share some more about it. The park's all decked out. They have really cool lighting effects just a whole different atmosphere that I think you will all enjoy. So now we're going to talk with, bring up our call with Kailin, and I know we had some super cute Halloween themed glitter that she did my mom and myself and, of course, our daughter. We were for the party, so we're looking forward to sharing all about her business with you. We'd like to welcome Kailin to the show. Her shop, a scoop of glitz, offers all kinds of really fun and unique hair and body glitter gels. She is a former 911 dispatcher, she's a beauty queen and a dancer and, of course, like all of us, she's a Disney loving fan. She calls herself a Disney loving glitter mama and wife and we are super excited to have Kailin on the show. Welcome.

Kalyn Frazier: 19:16

Thank you.

Vanessa Ferguson: 19:17

Now we start off by asking people something about what they enjoy on their Disney trips, and lately We've been asking people what is your favorite character to meet at the parks or at a restaurant, or just what's your favorite character to meet.

Kalyn Frazier: 19:34

That's such a hard question For me. Definitely Mickey Mouse.

Vanessa Ferguson: 19:39

Yes, do you have a favorite spot, favorite spot to meet Mickey?

Kalyn Frazier: 19:45

No, I'm usually just kind of.

Vanessa Ferguson: 19:50

For sure, for sure. I know it's always fun to get him in his different outfits to add different places. I like being able to get a new outfit with Mickey.

Kalyn Frazier: 19:59

Yeah, this year was the first year that I got to see Halloween Mickey, so I was really excited about that.

Vanessa Ferguson: 20:04

Oh, for sure, that's always fun to get the holiday ones. I know we'll be going on a cruise soon, so I get always excited to get when he's in a new outfit. Yes, now we've been wanting to know, of course, all about your business and what are the products you offer connected to Disney.

Kalyn Frazier: 20:23

So the main focus of my shop is hair, face and body glitter gels. I also do hand-writing some items like sunglasses, headbands I've done two twos, hand mirrors, stuff like that. But the biggest sellers and the main focus are at the glitter gels which are aloe base, so they're safe for your face, your hair, your skin and even pets.

Vanessa Ferguson: 20:45

So for somebody who's not saw your products before, do you do like custom? How does that like? You have glitter and stuff in them or there's some with designs. I know I've saw pictures, but maybe described for our listeners.

Kalyn Frazier: 20:58

Yeah, sure, so I do work closely with another small shop and she actually hand cuts different glitter shapes and so if I have someone message me that wants something like a specific princess or like a stitch character, we'll try to do something inspired by that and kind of club together and then I actually mix the glitters together. So each individual jar is hand-mixed, so no two glitters are ever the same.

Vanessa Ferguson: 21:25

Wow, that's awesome.

Kris Johns: 21:27

Now you mentioned these handmade glitters. What inspired you to get into this line of work?

Kalyn Frazier: 21:32

That would be mostly because I was a boy mom for three years before I had a my baby girl and she's my last baby and my only girl and, of course, like every other girl mom, I was really interested in those, and you always hear about how babies like Don't keep on their shoes or they don't keep on their bows, but my daughter is not that way. She's been for a festival, she loves her bows, her shoes, necklaces, purses, sunglasses and so glitter gels I thought would be just a perfect addition to her little bougie look.

Vanessa Ferguson: 22:03

And our daughter is the same way. She has to have a bow, like today. I did her hair and I was just trying not to do a bow because I did a cute style. No, she had to go get a bow. I had to put the bow in. So I totally understand. Our daughter is the same with me. Now we want to know, like how do you think that your products add some Disney magic to your customers lives?

Kalyn Frazier: 22:25

I mean, if they've ever met Tinker Bell, then I think she would agree that it's basically pixie dust. That's true, I have to agree. And speaking of pixie dust, I just recently learned kind of what that term means as far as Disney goes, and it's on our last trip. I actually packaged up little individual Disney glitteries and little matching stickers and we left them around resorts and parks for other people to find and enjoy a free sample of them. So that definitely added magic that way, and then also it just really enhances any outfit. So whether it's like Halloween costume or cosplay or a sporting event or just every day where it just brings the whole outfit together and just I don't know, I feel like it just is a boost of confidence for a lot of people.

Vanessa Ferguson: 23:12

Now, do you have certain ones that you offer all the time? I know you talked about how each one's like kind of handmade, but do you have certain styles that you kind of keep in stock, or is everything just custom?

Kalyn Frazier: 23:22

No, I definitely love glitter so much so that pretty much never run out of anything. Okay, I have some stuff on hand that people probably don't even know that I have. So Customs are fun because it's unique to each person and I get to meet people and have different conversations with people, but I do theme drops every two weeks too. So if you're maybe not the most creative person or you don't really know what you're looking for, then you can go to my Facebook page. I have a VIP where pretty much everybody goes to to find inspiration and you can look on there.

Vanessa Ferguson: 24:02

Now if I were, have it like we have a trip coming up and we actually have some stuff, products, coming for our daughter to use. But if somebody was planning a trip, or even if they just want some for at home for a certain occasion, how soon should they reach out if they're not buying, like from one of those set drops that you have?

Kalyn Frazier: 24:19

So my turnaround time Unless I have to custom order something, like I was talking about how I collect with another small shop. Sometimes, if I have it on hand already, I can get it out as quick as one, two, three business days. Usually I'm pretty quick about it. If I have to order something from another shop, then it usually is like five to seven days, so it's not not too long.

Vanessa Ferguson: 24:45

Now I know you sell it in different sizes. Could you maybe give us like what's Unlike your small versus your different sizes? How many, I guess, applications would you get from your average size?

Kalyn Frazier: 24:59

Sure. So I have a sample size, which All of them just kind of depend how heavily you apply it. I would say the sample size is good for one to two uses and then we would move up to our small size and that's good for like two or three uses, and then the medium, the large, and then I have a big, huge tub for my I hard glitter lover bottle and that one that one's a just go crazy with. But as far as I actual application goes, it just really depends on how heavily you plan to apply it now I've read a little bit in your Facebook group about like keeping the product good.

Vanessa Ferguson: 25:38

But let's say I got it for a trip that was this month and I'm not gonna use it again Until next trip that might be maybe a few months or a little bit ways down the road. How can I keep that product good? Do you have some options for that?

Kalyn Frazier: 25:53

Yeah. So what I've kind of learned along the way is, since it's aloe based, obviously it will dry out. Any sunlight Harsh like heat or anything like that. Well, definitely expedite it drying out. Some of my customers and Reps have told me that they keep theirs in the refrigerator, so that's an option. I also offer a rehydration jar as well, so if it does dry out, it's not a lot of spas. You don't have to throw it away or more. You can just get the rehydration jar and then actually just like bring it back to life yourself.

Vanessa Ferguson: 26:27

Perfect. And do you have a favorite like glitter gel, that you do, that maybe you use a lot for your daughter, or just a favorite kind of Design?

Kalyn Frazier: 26:36

I guess you could say honestly For just a solid silver Silver that matches everything. Silver picks up tons of different colors and lighting, and I also have little stars like four-point stars or traditional stars that are also silver, so just that kind of thing is super fun. And then she loves to wear glitter to her brother's baseball games and I have little clay baseball that I can mix in, or softball spilt balls etc. So we can match any like team colors and that's just like a super fun way to support him too.

Vanessa Ferguson: 27:13

Now do you suggest? Should it be rinsed out separate from like in the shower or the bath, or can you just wash your hair is normal with it.

Kalyn Frazier: 27:22

And then you can just wash it normal. We've never had any issues as far as like drainage goes or anything like that. I know some people don't wash their hair every day and that's perfectly fine, because it's out of base you can actually just use like Detanglers or just like a water bottle to loosen it up, brush it right out. If it's not like a hair washing day or just get in and just wash your hair like normal, perfect.

Kris Johns: 27:47

Now you know you mentioned where people can find you. Can you tell us again one more time where folks can go to buy your awesome product?

Kalyn Frazier: 27:54

Yeah, so I have a Facebook page like a general page. All the people glitz. And then I have my VIP page, which is a private page, but it's still able to be searched and you can just join in there, and that's where most of the magic happens. And then I also am growing an Instagram account and it's a talking about as well.

Vanessa Ferguson: 28:12

Perfect, and I will make sure to share all of those links in the show notes and All the ways that people can get ahold of you and order your product. So thank you so much, katelyn, for joining us.

Kalyn Frazier: 28:23

Thank you for having me. I hope you guys have so much fun on your cruise and going to see Mickey.

Vanessa Ferguson: 28:28

Thank you.

Kris Johns: 28:30

Thank you again to Katelyn for joining us today.

Vanessa Ferguson: 28:32

Now, kind of going along with that theme about, I think, Halloween makes me think of like being a kid and dressing up and all those fun things that we as adults don't normally do. So I thought this was a great quote. That's the real problem with the world too many people grow up. So during this spooky Halloween season, whether you're at Disney or you're at home, hopefully you can enjoy Some of those fun aspects and dress up and eat some candy and just have a great holiday season.
