We surfaced from the depths of Atlantica and moved on to our next mission.
This time we be joining the landlubbers in the mines.
But first, we noticed a lonely elephant sitting by himself.
You see, his pack of pachyderms was flying nearby.
Yes, matey, I did say flying – if you could believe it.
Well, me crew took a ride on these flying beasts last time we ventured to these here parts and had decided a return trip was not necessary.
So, rather than flying, we decided to stop and pose with the lonely little one:
First, I approached the beast with X while the Fair Maiden and the rest of the crew headed to the latrines.
You can see how drenched X was from exploring the depths of the seas in the Grotto.
A nice passerby suggested I join the little scallywag and so I did.
Then we headed off for our next mission – you see, our crew decided to part ways at this point in our adventure.
Sure enough, great minds think alike as me Maiden happened to stop by this same lonely beast on their way back from the latrines.
Then they headed to something new – a region none of them had explored before.
And to prove they were brave enough to venture forth despite the warnings, here is me crew bound for parts unknown!
Inside it started off slow with a simple wishing well…
But then it turned into one memorable quest.
When they finally returned, the reports were all the same.
“That ride was freaky!!!”
Meanwhile, X and I had stopped for snacks.
And for some reason even the snacks we chose “freaked” out me crew.
I really wonder what vile sorcery was in that dreadful place.
After all, X only took one bite out of a simple apple...
Further into this Land of Fantasy, I noticed odd things all around.
Like, how about this building being overtaken by some sort of growth?
Give me a sharp machete and I’d trim that one!
But despite the magicks all around us, we regrouped at a simple horse stall – one guarded by mice that is.
Heed this tale well as the powers that be have since renamed this enchanted stable.
Enchanted says I!
You see we climbed aboard the horses that were stationed here with a mind to plunder them for our adventures.
However, before we could, they took off with minds of their own!
With lightning speed they galloped in circles in the center of this Land of Fantasies.
X had to hold on with everything he had so he wouldn’t be thrown!
But he had a blast as you can see here…
Things apparently are not what they seem in this magical place.
To catch our wits, we decided to take in the theatre.
Join us as we get another dose of Magic – I believe they call it
Philharmagic!
You'd think they'd be doing something about that, I think overall WDW does a pretty good job with their restaurants but this one has been overlooked 
Glad to see your little princess has a fun birthday celebration there. That's where I celebrated my birthday this year too 
I love the pictures of your princess with Ariel. Very sweet
