A few questions about Magic Kingdom???

[mallaeus]

hi everyone,
just wanted to ask 3 questions to see if anyone knew anything about them.
1. Which rides in the Magic Kingdom can you sometimes ride with characters? i have heard that sometimes Mickey rides Dumbo and Goofy rides Barnstormer.

2. Does anybody know anything about waking Tinkerbell up from Tinkerbells treasures? I heard on a podcast that its a very popular thing do try and do after ropedrop.

3. Does anyone know anything about finding the paint brushes on Tom Sawyer Island? I heard on the same podcast that this is a really popular thing do try and do straight after rope drop.
Cheers everyone
Lee

Hi there

1. Never heard of this before but am interested to see what people respond. That would be cool to see the characters on the rides!

2. There was just a thread yesterday about waking up Tink. I believe the thread mentioned that you didn't have to always be the *first* person at the store to wake Tink up-she needs to be woken up several times a day.

3. I've read a couple of posts about this but don't have any personal experience with this one.

Sorry I couldn't be more help!

1. The only ones I could think are the teacups and perhaps cinderella's carousel.

2. I don't know alot about waking up tink but I know there are a TON of threads on it here on the DIS, try a search.

3. Yes, you are supposed to do it right away because there are a limited number of paintbrushes and finding one treats you to a fastpass for Splash Mountain or Big Thunder.

Mickey picks a family in the morning to ride on the train during the pre-show each morning.

Pluto and Goofy ride on barnstormer. That's when Toontown opens, around 10 a.m. (well an hour after opening anyway). This is each morning.

Sometimes Alice and the Mad Hatter ride the cups, but I don't think this is very common.

TSI also opens around 10 a.m.

1. At rope drop Mickey and Minnie sometimes choose the first children in the queue for Dumbo to ride with.

2. Yup - I have seen many threads on this since i joined not long ago. Worth a search.

3. The paintbrushes are hidden at the start of the day. If you hand them to the CM on the raft (I think) you are rewarded with a fast pass to either thunder or splash mountain.

I've seen Stitch ride Dumbo, Peter and Wendy ride PPF, Snow White ride Snow White's Scary Adv., Alice and Mad Hatter ride the teacups and Chip & Dale ride the Carrousel. Oh, and Goofy ride the Barnstormer. I don't know what the randomness is to it though.

It was a nice experience, but a little stressful. I had been warned about how much of a mad dash it could be. If there are children who dine at Cinderella's Castle for breakfast I heard they will get there first since they are already in Fantasyland....

I'm not sure about several girls being able to wake up Tink because the morning my daughter did it another little girl showed up about 5 minutes later and was told by a CM, "I'm sorry, Tinkerbell has already been woken up this morning."

I did hear, however, that if several children arive at the same time (a tie for first, basically) that they will let them all do it.

If you do gear your child up to wake up Tink, I would stress that it might or might not happen. We waited at the rope to Adventureland and then went around the castle at Rope Drop. We ran like crazy. (Felt a little silly, actually....) Alls well that ends well, though!

My daughter said to tell you that out of a scale of 1 to 10 she would give it an 8. (waking up Tinkerbell)

We've seen Jasmine ride the Aladdin's Carpets with a young man- it was so cute as Aladdin was ribbing her about riding with him.
