After leaving Caseys Corner we continued into Tomorrowland. We first rode Buzz Lightyear. DD7 especially loves this ride. I dont take my score too seriously but DH does. I dont know what his score was but its always WAY better than mine.
The girls couldnt resist this photo op.
Next we went to Tomorrowland Speedway. I really like this ride. Its relaxing, has great views, and its neat to ride through Space Mountain.
Next DD4 really wanted to ride Astro Orbiter. Wed never ridden this ride. DD7 was really apprehensive about this ride because of the height. This ride really is high. It is also much faster than the average Dumbo ride. DD4 LOVED it. DD7 endured it but probably would not do it again. Talk about great views!
It was about this time the DH and I were talking about HDDMR at 5:15. We planned on staying at MK and catching the ferry over to Ft. Wilderness for the show. I really think it was just a lack of communication. You see I am blessed in that DH lets me plan almost everything and just goes with the flow. I am even more blessed that he keeps us organized while there. He is in charge of all paper documents, receipts, etc. As long as he is in charge of them they will not get lost. Somehow, I had assumed that he would bring the receipts for HDDMR with him but unfortunately he did not. The way we found this out was when he asked me mid-day where we were eating dinner. So, poor thing, he really did have an adventure trying to rescue our tickets. Ill get to that soon.
It was about 2:30 and we decided wed ride Small World before DH left to go back to the Pop and get our tickets.
Man, that is a long ride. We love it just because it is a classic but you forget how long it is. Both DH and I were guilty of falling asleep through out the ride. I managed to snap these pictures through my intermittent snoozes.
While both of us were pretty tired already the girls were both plenty rested. I was worried I would not make it through the rest of our long planned out day.
When we got out of Small World it was about 3 p.m. (parade time). Our plan was for DH to go back to the Pop. Get the tickets and meet us in front of ferry by 4:20. As we were riding Small World he was worried about getting out before the parade blocked his exit. He did end up having some trouble but Ill tell you what the girls and I did while he was away first.
Since it was parade time we decided to make our way to Toontown while most kids would be away. Wed never been to Toontown before. First I stopped and got the girls ice cream. It must have been hot because the ice cream was spilling all over the place by the time we made it to Toontown. I stopped to clean up the girls right next to the face painting. The girls noticed it and wanted their faces painted so I thought why not we were just trying to kill time anyway. I didnt want to do anything too significant that DH would miss. So, the girls each got their faces painted Minnie style to match their dresses. Too Cute!
We then decided that it would be super fun to get pictures with Minnie since the girls were all painted up like her. DH had taken the camera with him. Thank God for photo pass photographers! We found out Minnie was with Mickey behind his house so we toured Mickeys house and got in line to see the famous twosome! This was a great time to get in line since a lot of people were still watching the parade. The line looked long but moved really fast. Mickey just must be able to be at more than one place at the same time. (Wink, wink
) Soon we were steps away from the Duo. I really prefer them in their normal attire so this was great.
They seemed to be giving good interaction to most people but we definitely got the best interaction I saw. I recorded most of it w/ the video so DH could see. Minnie pointed out both the girls dresses and gave them each a big hug, as did Mickey.
DD7 carries around a HUGE pen for the characters which usually gets some sort of acknowledgement from the characters. What was neat about this particular character greet was that the photo pass photographers played along which Id never seen. There were two of them. One of them told Mickey to watch out because Minnie has a weapon now (the pen). Minnie held the pen up and Mickey backed away toward us. Minnie walked up to Mickey held her hand and kissed him and they walked back together. Then Mickey held out his small pen for Minnie to sword fight. The girls were all smiles and giggles the entire time. Heres just a portion of the video I took.
When it was time to take pictures Mickey fixed DD4s hat first. She still talks about that today.
I had checked the bag for a sharpie for my cast but could not find it. So I was a little disappointed that I wouldnt get their signature.
I turned the camera off and was getting ready to leave when we got a little Pixie Dust.
One of the photo pass photographers pulled out a sharpie and said, Can we ask a favor or you Mickey. Could you please sign this womans cast? How wonderful, I was so excited. Then, the other photo pass photographer pulled out a red sharpie and said, here Minnie heres a red pen so you can sign in your color. How sweet. They were spending so much time with us that one of the photo pass people looked at all the people behind us in line and said, now I dont want you all breaking your arm now for more time. So we left that greet with good pictures, memories, and signatures on my cast. I got so many envious remarks on those signatures for the rest of my trip.
After our great greeting we toured Minnie's house and made our way out to the boat dock. As we were passing a store a CM gave the girls a free cookie saying that it was a free "magical moment"! I love magical moments. Even if it is just a free cookie.
We made our way out of MK and to the boat dock. We were about 10 minutes late. I was worried that DH would be worried. When we finally make it to the dock DH is not there. We pace for a while then decide to check the other dock in case he is confused. NO DH.
Time is ticking. We only have about 30 minutes and still have a ferry ride.
Up Next
: What to do? What to do? We can't go ahead if we don't have the tickets. And they've already charged our card.
Great update! I'm glad you liked Boma. I have yet to eat there. We don't eat at a lot of table service meals when we're at Disney. Since reading the DIS though, I want to eat at a lot of places now!!! 
So cute! When the ride was done we just got off, walked around and got right back on for another ride. I love September crowds!
Shew, that was a close one.
It's a good thing I have boys! LOL!!
The girls black dresses are so pretty. I love the way you dress them alike. I dress my boys the same too. 
I bought the dresses from a retail store. I did have one pair of dresses made that the girls will wear later in my report. Yes, even just a little time alone makes a big difference.
I hope you have a great time at POP.
