i hope everyone had a happy and safe independence day!!! and for those of you outside the U.S., i hope you had a great friday! (can't leave you guys out! 
)
so when i last left you we had just enjoyed an afternoon story at belle's fairytale garden. we decided to head towards toontown to see what was happening there. on the way i saw some peeps posing for a photopass picture and i couldn't resist 2 photo-ops in one!
neither of us have ever ridden goofy's barnstormer. yeah, that's probably because we're both adults and don't have any kids. well, do you think that stopped us??? no way! if there's a ride at disney world that i haven't done, i'm gonna try it at least once! so we hopped in line.
i snapped this while we were waiting.
we waited literally 5 minutes to get on. this incline totally freaked me out.......i wasn't sure i was ready for this ride!!!
it was a fun little ride but it was over in like 30 seconds. i'm glad we didn't wait long! i'm sure we looked like idiots riding it without kids, but we didn't care. we would never see any of these people ever again!
i snapped this as we were getting off the ride. never had a chance to get a pic of the front of the train before!
next we decided to check out minnie's house since we hadn't done that last year. it was CRAZY in there!!!! there were people EVERYWHERE! as i was snapping pictures, this girl ended up in 2 of them and ray and i had to laugh at her. i'm sorry if i'm being mean but those hair pieces just look ridiculous if you're over 10 years old! and yes, this is coming from a girl who wears mouse ears.
it looks like a dead squirrel on top of her head. anyway, i will shut up now because i don't want to sound any meaner than i already do!
we made it through the living room and the sewing room.....
then we got to the hallway (i love this picture of minnie!)
and we decided to skip the kitchen because you just absolutely could not MOVE in there! it was crazy. so i didn't get to see all the cool little kitchen gadgets that minnie has. oh, well! next time. i just wanted to get the heck outta there!!!!
next we decided to head towards tomorrowland via the super secret walkway from toontown. i love this way! there's never anyone around. it's so nice not to have to walk behind someone, even if it's just for a few minutes!
i think we must have grabbed a fastpass earlier that morning for space mountain. but we decided to have a snack before we used them. we got a frozen cherry drink and one of those spicy cheese pretzels. i love these things!!!
we sat on a bench near the loading area for the astro orbiter and just enjoyed our snack and people-watched. it was nice to sit down for awhile!
after we finished eating we headed towards space mountain. as we approached the fastpass line, ray stopped near a trash can to finish our drink and throw it away. well, the CM that was checking fastpasses saw this and when we showed him our fastpasses he handed us a rider switch pass and said, "that's for being nice and finishing your drink before you get in line without me having to ask you. you can use that like a fastpass on this ride at any time for up to 3 people." how cool is that???? i asked him if he has a problem with people doing that and he said, "yeah. they get mad at me when i ask them to please finish their drinks before getting in line." score!
good things come to those who follow the rules! 
we actually didn't even end up having to use this. we were gonna save it for friday at the P&PP, but the lines were so short that we didn't need it. and it doesn't have a date on it, so i saved it for another trip! i think i'm gonna give it to my sister though. she and her boyfriend are going to disney world next week and since they're gonna be there at such a busy time, i figure it'll be nice to have. my next two trips are in september and mid december, during pretty slow times. so i just don't think i'll need it.
anyway, on to space mountain. we had a blast on this ride, as usual! this is a favorite of mine since i was a kid! it was one of the first roller coasters i ever rode......i remember being 7 years old and waiting in line and being SO scared, but then i loved it!
ray on space mountain......
after space mountain ray needed a potty break, so i sat down on a bench near the restrooms. i think the roller coaster had woken up flat beana and flat mattica because they wanted to come out and see what was going on. here they are enjoying the scenery.
next we hopped in line for buzz lightyear. i think we waited about 10 minutes to ride.
so serious about our shooting!!!
ray totally beat me. i suck at this game! i've been reading TGM's pointers though and i hope to do better next trip!
captured once again by the evil emporer zurg!!!
we headed towards the monster's inc. comedy show because neither of us had ever done this. i think the wait was about 15 minutes.
this show was cute!!! i love the part where they put the camera on various people. so funny! it was a nice break from walking, too! it was about 3:45 by this time and we were both starting to get tired. so we needed the break!
next up........
