9/26 - Day 2 Part 1
We all woke as planned. This was ever so exciting because it made me think we might be on track for sticking to our itinerary.
As soon as Kira and Amanda were ready, they went to Sassagoula Floatworks to get beignets. They brought them back to the room so we could eat them before heading to the bus. Lets just say, this was quite the messy endeavor. Mousekeeping certainly earned their tip that day!
I LOVE these and this was a factor for me in wanting to stay at POFQ. I would have thought we would have ate these every day, but sadly we did not.
Our itinerary had us catching rd, but one thing always leads to another it seems and we arrived JUST as the ceremony was happening. We could see it as we walked up, but it just wasn't quite the same.
We did not find ourselves too off schedule as were able to hightail it to the new fantasyland to ride dumbo first thing. More of an experiment, but also because Kira was wanting to "go fast" since she was a bit disappointed that we missed the rd ceremony - we split into 2 and 2. Kira and Amanda made their route through the castle. I know they were all but running. Zoe and I meanwhile turned right to head through tomorrowland. We taking a leisurely pace, were able to make it to Dumbo ahead of Kira and Amanda. So just a tip to throw out there. If you want to make it to that part of fantasyland quickly, it is better to route yourself through tomorrowland. (IMHO)
In fact, it seems like we were so quick miss most of the crowds.
I love how bright and new the ride is!
All together again, the girls were all smiles.
The new splash area is super cute, but we didn't stop to play. I couldn't have Zoe getting wet.
Admittedly, my memory is fading and I am using photos to "jog" it. So I assume we then rode the Tea Cups. While waiting in line, we noticed that a bit of a celebrity was riding along with two lucky little girls.
The girls all rode together while I rode in a separate cup. This was so that I could takepics while they spun to their hearts desire.
After the tea cups we rode on Winnie the Pooh.
As we headed back into the older part of fantasyland, I took a picture of these. Aren't they neat?
Even got a picture of the construction
We then had time to ride IASW and maybe watch Mickey's philharmagic. (I say maybe because I have no pictures but I think we took the time then to ride.)
It was then getting close to the time to check in for Zoe's BBB appointment in the castle. We had just enough time for a quick ride on the carousel. Kira and Amanda wanted to ride space mountain and not the carousel. It was right then that I realized I had left the voucher for the pp+ back at the room. This meant that Kira and Amanda would not be able to add the ride photo to the card at the time they rode. I didn't worry so much though because all the rumors had said all one had to do was take down the number and go to any photo location to add. I did know that I needed to get it before we had lunch so the girls and I discussed plans and then they went off to SM
Zoe on the carousel.
Off the carousel, Zoe tried her hand at removing the sword from the stone.

Still she was very nice and did her best to make it a special experience for Zoe. I think we had a better experience in DTD and it makes me sad that this was the last one Zoe had. (she doesn't want to do it again because she is getting too "old"). I did like the decor better in the castle though.
when you said that you made it to Dumbo first. Going counter clockwise is the way to go!

Glad you are here!
