After discovering the differences between males and females it was time for us to head here
for this
Except one problem.
You see that little purple lettering at the bottom of the sign? "Check-in begins at 9 p.m."? Well...it was 8 pm. I had noted the time incorrectly!
So, where to now?
Anyone know where this is?
Yep! Pirates!
Back to Adventureland and straight onto Pirates. I was a tad nervous about this one because Henry did NOT like it AT ALL last time we rode, but I thought we had to try. As we winded through the line, which was more than 15 minutes, but not bad, I spoke to him about the ride, warned him about the drop - he seemed cool with it all.
This queue really is very, very cool. I had forgotten what is was like since we haven't ridden it in a few trips.
First we put him behind bars over in Tomorrowland, and now we let him stand near explosives. What good parents we are!
I tried really, really hard to get a decent picture on the ride, but NONE came out. I gotta work on my dark, moving ride settings. Our boat did get stopped under the hairy leg, by the time I pulled my camera back out we were moving.
I know you all would have enjoyed the big 'ol hairy leg picture!
Henry did GREAT on the ride. Loved it! He thought it was very cool when the boats were shooting the cannonballs and the water would spray up!
And into the dump shop---which is a fantastic one!
Boys will be boys!
Henry first found a sword and then quickly found...
A gun.
Surprised? Me neither.
This is so cute!
After our ride with pirates and adventure through the gift shop it was time to head over to Tomorrowland and check-in so we could gorge ourselves with tasty desserts.
The line was long, but moved pretty quickly and soon we were led to a very nice table almost directly in the front!
It was a great spot!
We quickly made our first, of many, buffet trips. Everything is mini (except the strawberries), so I know, I for one, always end up eating way more than I need to!
Starting with the round ball - Truffles, cannoli, mango sipper, tiramisu, creme brulee, 2 chocolate covered strawberries.
Chocolate covered strawberry, cannoli, the first 3 of MANY donut holes for Joe (thought of you Tracey!), and a brownie
Watermelon, creme brulee, chocolate covered strawberries, cannolis
Oh how I love thee my mini creme brulee!
Our table was decorated with these
We did this buffet back in 2009 as well and I have to say, I really like the changes they have made! The seating arrangement is better and they have the buffet on a higher level of the terrace, so everyone can sit closer. While the variety was slimmer, they had all the best stuff. The chocolate covered strawberries were ever flowing, they never ran out of anything - even at the end of Wishes you could snag a few things if you wanted.
They also added a Photopass Photographer.
Back at our table with plenty of dessert in our bellies, we happily enjoyed the atmosphere and talked about our day as we waited for Wishes.
At some point earlier in the trip Henry had randomly busted out a "What you talkin' about Mommy?" and it was HILARIOUS to Joe and I. He kept saying this throughout the entire trip whenever Joe and I would be discussing something, he'd try to interrupt with a "What you talkin' about?"

Just kidding! But I was a little shocked. This couldn't be! Then worry set in. Would he want to skip Casey's next trip? I started to bargain with him. I told him that I couldn't. We could eat our main meal elsewhere, but the nuggets would have to be done. Thankfully, I did not have to advance to the next step of grief, "depression" because he's cool with getting a hot dog.
That's a classic for sure!
Woot woot!
So, Henry has started to notice the difference between girls and boys...I hope you can wait a few more years for the "real" discussion of differences...THAT was an interesting conversation (which has only just begun in our house)! 
Girls will be girls
and of course at BW
