Part X So long, farewell
Wait, wrong theme song
How about
So there's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow
Shining at the end of every day
There's a great, big, beautiful tomorrow
Just a dream away
(Thanks Tmfranlk)
OK, we just finished Wishes so were on the bridge to Tomorrowland. We had picked up FP for Buzz before TTA which allowed us to walk right on but there wasnt that much of a difference from the standby line so make a note to head right over there after the fireworks for a really short line.
BS and MS share a car and Im riding solo but am catching glimpses of their scores. BS is beating me! That cant be!
Interlude for a family background check here Im very competitive. BB (Big Bro) and I had contests all the time throwing as hard as possible at each other and as fast as possible (got a black eye doing that one time) hes 10 yrs older than I am, but I dont like to lose to anybody. And I definitely wasnt going to get beat at Buzz by my BS.
I was ready with an excuse, I really did have a hard time finding my beam in the first couple of rooms and what happened to the big target behind me in the first room that was going to score me big points??
Thanks to some pixie dust, the ride stops and Ive finally gotten my groove on and Im racking up points on some major targets.
Final score
MS 7700 (cut her some slack, shes only 100% in one eye)
BS 54,000
LS 130,500 Yeah Baby!
Yes, those are actual scores (at least mine is, I think they guessed) and I really wrote them down!
This is the point where we meet Disney Dan, see Part V, and we all leave happy to be prettier than we were when we walked in.
Next we head over to Fantasyland since none of us are Space Mountain fanatics. Did it when we were little. Thats enough for me!
We pick up a FP for Pooh, but the lines are still long for Peter Pan and Snow White. Hmmm, what else can we do over here???
BTW check out the soldiers above you in the Muppets preshow and tell me they didnt get them from IASW
Is it in your head yet? Should I hum a few bars for you?
It only takes us as long as it takes to walk down the ramp to get in the boat. Just didnt have the Magic for me this time. And I didnt even take any pictures, just sat back and enjoyed the ride. BS, MS and I kept saying, I dont remember that outfit. Have those dresses always been that color?
Did find the Hidden Mickeys in the vine this time. I was looking up last time, not to the right.
We broke down and got in the line for Peter Pan even though it was long. Actually wasnt bad. Think I already mentioned that the posted time was 40 mins but it was really about 20 mins.
We did see the unimaginable here though.
It had gotten a little chilly so the CMs were sporting their fancy coats (looked funny to this Virginian who was wearing shorts and a sweatshirt as they looked more like winter coats, not Florida chilly weather coats) and as we arrived at the PP turnstile, I looked more closely at the CMs coat. Thats when I noticed
(brace yourselves, spoiler here)
she was sitting down! Yes, she was sitting on a trash can! While working! I couldnt believe it! Didnt tattle on her though as we chose to compliment the good CMs instead of focusing on the misbehaving ones.
Love Peter Pan. Love the little cars driving underneath us, love the music, love the croc and Hook balancing on his mouth and the ticking clock, love Peters voice
this is the Magic for me....
On the way over to Pooh, we stopped at the carousel again, walked right on but I couldnt find Cinderellas horse. I love the carousel! We took several pictures, but of course, there was one of us in each one with her eyes closed so sisters would really come out of lurkdom if I posted one of those here.
We had to pass Snow White to get to Pooh and there was no line...
Come on BS. I know I said, Just one more ride, but theres no line
Snow White always freaked me out as a child. Didnt like that witch at all. But, MS is a lover of Dopey and, by golly, we were doing as many rides as we could get in, so we did it.
Well, all good things must come to an end, and it was time for our FP with Pooh. No diff between the FP line and the regular line at this point as it was almost 11 pm.
Mental note If theres a 9 pm Wishes show and the park doesnt close until 11 pm (I think there was a 10 pm parade too), you can easily do all of Fantasyland in those 2 hours. We could have fit in Dumbo but we just werent up to it. (yikes, did I just admit to that?)
Love Pooh! A little more pixie dust here as the ride stopped a couple of times and since we were the only ones in the room
.
I read all the books when I was little, still have them, love the look of the page from the book....
I tried really hard to find something in the store. Anything to keep from going home...
These just don't match up to my original Pooh...
But these guys were tempting...
MS was pooped!
As am I. Would you just look at the time???
its waaaaay past my bedtime
.guess I can get in one last installment because our trip down Main Street did take some time with the last gazes at the castle, Photopass pics in front of the castle, shopping
.
Thanks for reading!
