FUN SIZE is a teen comedy centered on a sarcastic high school senior,

Wren (Victoria Justice), who is eager to distance herself from her 

dysfunctional family by going off to college. Before that can happen, Wren’s mother, Joy, insists

that she watch her little brother Albert on Halloween night, so Joy can go out with

her much younger boyfriend. When Wren gets distracted by an invitation to the party

of the year, Albert disappears into a sea of trick-or-treaters. Frantic to locate him before 

their mother discovers he’s missing, Wren enlists the help of her sassy best friend April,

as well as Peng, an aspiring ladies’ man

and co-captain of the debate team, and Peng’s best friend, Roosevelt, a 

sweet nerd whose crush on Wren clouds his better judgement. This

unlikely foursome embarks on a high-stakes, all-night adventure to find Albert,

crossing paths with outrageous characters every step of the way.

Yesterday my family had the pleasure of attending 

The Count’s Halloween Spooktacular at Sesame Place in Langhorne, Pa, 

less than two hours from NYC.

Sesame Place is a family favorite during the summer, so we

were very excited to see just what was cooking for Halloween.

We have gone to Sesame Place for their Halloween celebration before, 

but we missed last year. A lot has changed! 

We were thrilled as we arrived to see that The Count somehow

had taken over the front sign and the entrance of Sesame Place!

There was also a larger than life inflatable Count just inside the

theme park entrance. You cannot help but swell with excitement

seeing the children parading in dressed in everything from Baby Elmo to 

Princesses, Witches, Abby Cadabby and more costumes than you could

ever imagine. My own kids could not wait to get inside and start the party!

We headed to the Rubber Ducky Costume Party where a DJ was 

spinning tunes and children, parents and of course Bert and Ernie were

dancing out their hearts! Adorable!

Although the water rides are closed for the season, you may not

even notice, there is so much to do!

There is a fantastic Trick-Or-Treat trail that has a lot of 

yummy treats and even some juice that features the Sesame Street 

characters. The trail goes throughout the park, so where ever you

are, you can find a place to get a treat!

Since our family adores the Sesame Place shows, we decided to

check out one of the three Halloween themed shows, “The Not-Too-Spooky Howl-O-Ween

 Radio Show”! We loved it! The show featured some of our

favorite characters dressed in their Halloween costumes! The show is so

energetic, you cannot help but sing and dance along!

After the show we headed to the rides!

There were plenty to choose from, but that was definitely not the end of the fun.

Since our family loves mazes we were sure to check out Abby Cadabby’s Magical 

Halloween Maze and The Count’s Unhaunted Castle Maze. I will

definitely tell you to put these at the top of your list! 

Do not miss the magic mirror with the talking pumpkin inside the 

Unhaunted Castle Maze! You won’t find something like him anywhere else around.

During the middle of our day we were lucky enough to be invited 

to a special media event where we enjoyed Cookie Monster and 

Elmo cookies and cupcakes along with

Elmo shaped pretzels and some filling drinks! We also had the chance to 

meet up with all the characters to sing, dance and hug!

There were many smiles during that special hour!

At that point we got our hands stamped and headed back to the parking lot 

where we boarded a festive hay ride with our friend Telly!

We arrived back at the front gates just in time for the Halloween 

themed Neighborhood Street Party Parade to begin complete with ghosts and

Halloween music!

Our last ride of the day was the Sunny Day Carousel which was covered in

cobwebs and had the view of an enormous inflatable spider. What a way to end our 

spooktacular day at Sesame Place!
