We were up early on Saturday and heading back to MK but wait! Whats that under the door?
It looks like and envelope with Allys name on it! It is! She opened it up and found a personalized invitation to Bibbidy Bobbidy Boutique at 3pm today! Woo hoo!
She is convinced that this invitation came from Tinkerbell herself. And Im not altogether sure that she is wrong!
When we left the room, it was overcast and quite chilly. I wanted to run back and grab jackets but Ally was determined to get to MK early. And we did. For rope drop! And I cried. Again.
I just watch her waving at all the characters as they get off the train, and I know that it is all still real. For me too.
We made our way through the gates with all the other early risers and headed straight to Frontierland, by way of Adventureland. And we were the first cruise of the day on Jungle Cruise. We hadnt ridden this in a couple of years and we got a great captain! I even laughed out loud at his corny jokes!
No line for Pirates, and we got to meet the pirate wanna be himself! Wearing tights. Green tights. No comment.
Walked on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Walked on Splash Mountain.
Now for those of you who have never ridden SM because you see that big drop at the end, keep in mind, this is a 15 minute attraction with wonderful, colorful animatronics inside the mountain. The drop is not nearly as large as some other theme parks where it is really a thrill ride! Keep in mind, theres not even a lap belt, which tells me that it is all Disney Imagineering at work, and its made to look much worse than it is.
A few shots from around the mountain.
And look who we saw as we exited SM!
We grabbed a FP for BTMRR for Ally and Daddy to use later in the day, once he got here.
We then headed across the park to finish up the mountains, and we walked right on Space Mtn. So far, so good. No crowds anywhere!
We decided to head back to the castle for the 11:40 showing of Dream Along with Mickey. I love these shows in front of the castle. I can still remember watching Allys eyes as we entered MK 2 ½ yrs ago and went straight to the castle for front row seats for Cinderellabration. It was her first time seeing the princesses LIVE and I was a mess. Total water works.
So we plopped down and rested for about 15 minutes before the show began.
Look! Donalds smiling! Hes still not wearing pants, but thats another issue altogether.
And then theres Boogie Mouse and HE is wearing pants! Hes got that boogie fever he wants to boogie down. Hes got that boogie fever I think its going around. And around.
Youre singing, arent you?
If these gals can wear pantaloons in 80 degree temps, the least Donald can do is wear pants! Thank goodness the princesses WERE wearing pantaloons! Otherwise, that would be dirtier than touching Iridessas wings!
