Astro Orbiter and Buzz Lightyear were next and we were again lucky not to have any lines. We made our way to the Main Street Station to ride the train over to Frontier Land.
Hannah really wanted to ride Splash, but it was down for rehab. I had to show her the flume was dry, because she was not taking my word on it! We made our way to the rafts for Tom Sawyer's island, I snuck in a couple of fast passes for BTRR, just in case. While on the Island, we heard the howl of the wolf coming from the Haunted Mansion, and Hannah wanted to go check it out as this is her favorite ride in
Disneyland. I promised her, we would circle back and ride it, but we should visit toon town 1st. She agreed, and before we left, we stopped to see the country bear jamboree. I had not seen this version since the mid-80's and Hannah had never seen it at all.
Our 1st generation gap would occur at this attraction. I loved it, she was not impressed. Maybe because it wasn't presented in 3D or in THX surround sound. She was totally, meh about it. So we left and we took the train to the toon town depot. Gadget's go coaster was Hannah's "1st" rollercoaster (she either forgot about test track or thought it didn't qualify) and said she would ride it if we could see Donald's boat after. I agreed, but she was still a bit nervous ( she left her earplugs in the room!). We rode it and we visited Donald's boat as we agreed. Then she asked if we could ride Space Mountain! I said we would try later later on.
After we toured TT we made our way back into fantasyland to ride it's a small world. The facade to IASW in DL is much more impressive, but inside, the ride is essentially the same, although DL's version has been updated to include Disney characters in the various lands. I like the original version, Hannah enjoyed the Disney character version at Disneyland. Gap #2!
We both loved Mickey's Philharmagic, though!! after the show our ADR for Cindy's was due, so we checked in, I took this photo just before we got there and as I did, I felt some drops of rain for the 1st time that day.
We had our photos taken with Cinderella (hubba, hubba) and made our way up the stairs to the dining hall. We were seated at once and for a moment, I did get the sense of being rushed as had been discussed on the boards and in reviews. I used the techniques learned here to slow down our efficient and friendly server by asking her to allow us to order drinks 1st, so that we can review the menu. She was very understanding, and for the rest of our meal, the feeling of being rushed never returned.
This is a very nice place to have a meal and at first I thought I might have at least worn a shirt with a collar, I was totaly buying into the atmosphere of having a meal in a "royal banquet hall" and felt, for a brief moment, the need to dress the part. The feeling eased away, as I glanced around and saw everyone else was as casually dressed as we were! Hannah had the rotisserie chicken with pasta, I had the prime rib. The princesses would be announced one at a time, and the first to work the room was Snow White, then Aurora, then Jasmin, and Belle. Hannah had photos and autographs with all of them, but I don't know what happened to Jasmin's photo, it may have been accidently erased.
Here, Hannah is wondering what to do with this role...
Here are our host princesses minus jasmin (sorry jazz!!)
I'm not even that brave (how old is she?!!) She is a little cutie 
From Norway, we visited China and took in the circlevision presentation. before the movie, a host played traditional chinese music. It was very relaxing. 
....great job so far! Your princess is adorable
