"Alright Knucklehead, what do you want to do first?"
"BTMR!" he confidently replies.
"OK, let's go," says a father who doesn't know that he's going to regret that decision.
Head for BTMR and stop for Fast Passes for Splash Mountain but they're not necessary, no wait at either ride. Get in line after getting Baby Swap ticket for DW. Now, did they change BTMR or has it always been kinda scary for a 5 yo? Knucklehead was not ready for that ride. And because of that he would not ride Splash Mountain. DW and I did ride it, taking turns with Baby Swap tickets. Those of us not riding hung out under the Train Station. While there, Knucklehead got to meet Brer Bear, his first signature for his autograph book! He was pleased, and then he heard the Train. Guess what we had to do next?
So we get off the train at Mickey's Toon Town and DW and Bo Bo seek shelter from rain, he also needs tending to. Knucklehead and I head for The Barnstormer. This was his favorite ride from the year before. Because the parks were so empty last year, we were able to ride it again and again without getting off. This year, it was a one time only ride. The line wasn't long, but it wasn't worth standing in the rain to ride again.
We get off the coaster and go inside to get more autographs. We pass DW who is sitting against a wall inside the store cradling a sleeping Bo Bo. He's so precious when he's sleeping, sucking on that invisible pacifier.
As we're heading for the cue we pass Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. I asked DS if he wanted their signatures and he just shook his head and kind of skirted around them. I didn't find out until later, why. Knucklehead didn't want their autographs because he knew they would fight over his book, and he didn't want to get them started. That kid has only seen Alice in Wonderland maybe twice, a long time ago, with a lot of movies in between then and now, and yet he remembers how those two fight with each other. Knucklehead and I then waited (with everyone else who brought kids that day) to meet Pooh, Tiggerrrr, and Eeyore. Pooh was wonderful, Eeyore was sad, and Tigerrr was not so bouncy. Pooh stole DS's hat and placed it on his own head. He spent a lot more time with Knucklehead, playing and posing, than I could have ever imagined.

We leave Toon Town, with Bo Bo still asleep in his dry stroller, just as the rain stops again. We take the "shortcut" over to Tomorrowland and Knucklehead insists that he wants to ride Space Mountain. He's been psyching himself up for weeks to ride this. One of his friends at school told him all about it. I let DW go first this time, just in case he doesn't want to ride it a 2nd time. Sleeping Bo Bo and I meet them at the exit and all Knucklehead can say is that it was "Super Spooky." He doesn't want to ride that again until he's 6yo.
We then went over to one of DW's personal favorites at MK, the Carousel of Progress. Knucklehead loved the moving seats, and was enthralled by the stage show. I'm going to have the Dr.'s license revoked that ever suggests that our DS has ADD. He can be as spastic and as out of control as any other kid, but when he concentrates on something, he sits still as a statue and really studies it.
Now with that song implanted firmly in my head, Knucklehead and I head over to the Astro Orbiter. DW and Sleeping Bo Bo go get on that savior ride for mothers with really young ones, the TTA. They do three circuits while DS and I are getting high and low on the Astro Orbiter.

We all get off, and Sleeping Bo Bo wakes up, and needs tending to. We rush over to Crystal Palace for our PS and DW takes Bo Bo to something I have never noticed before at MK, the Baby Care Center. Man, what a wonderful place! Clean, quiet, a great place to escape to with small children if it were really busy in the park.
The food was great at the CP, I highly recommend it. Knucklehead actually ate enough to be considered a full meal. And that's very rare for him. AND Bo Bo met his new best friend, Piglet. His face just lit up when that big cute pink pig came over.
