So I guess this laptop situation got fixed up a little bit quicker than I expected. Sadly, my laptop is a goner, but the memory is safe and is currently being transferred to an external hard drive to upload onto here. I did upload all the photos again so I can update and my dad gave me his old work laptop that I'll be using until I get a new one. So, I can update now! Let's get to that now, shall we...
CHAPTER 20: HIDDEN MICKEYS AND 3D GLASSES HAVE ALWAYS GONE HAND-IN-HAND
I left off at us going to Fantasyland. We entered from the Tomorrowland end, so the first ride we passed by was Winnie the Pooh! I really enjoyed this ride the first day, so I really wanted to ride it again. Alyssa and my mom weren't in the mood for riding for some reason, so Siobhan and I rode with Leslie and her two daughters.
It was really cool while riding with Leslie, as she introduced us to some Hidden Mickey's as well as the little homage to the late Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. It added a whole new perspective to the ride.
When we got off, we headed deeper into Fantasyland into and found ourselves by Mickey's PhilharMagic. Leslie had yet to check out this ride for Hidden Mickeys, so she headed straight towards it, camera at the ready.
There wasn't much of a wait getting in, but we did wait in the lobby area where the doors to the theater open up to us are, though we got in soon enough. As we got into the theater, Leslie noticed right off the bat, the Hidden Mickey Horn around the screen. She, of course, dropped everything in her seat and got a picture taking all the pictures she could, just as the show started, when she noticed her 3D glasses weren't near her, so there was a lot of movement in the middle of the show to find him. I ignored it, too immersed in the show. I think they found them, but I know all the movement stopped before the show ended. It was just really funny how stuff like that happens to the DisFreaks
When we got out of the theater, we decided to head our separate ways, they to enjoy their day and us to enjoy ours. We bid Leslie and the girls farewell and headed into Frontierland. I'm pretty sure this is the one land we spent the most time in during our trip. It is just such a fun place to be, it also seems to be close to a lot of our favorite rides which everyone will go on, so another plus.
Today, I really wanted to ride Splash a few more times before we left and so did DOS. DYS hadn't been a huge fan of the ride, it was the only ride the entire trip, she had gone on, but had a little meltdown before so (though she did on ITTBAB, but she pulled out then :/) So DOS and I went on by ourselves and it being so early, there was a barely even a line. The first time we practically got a boat to ourselves, but we still had the silent couple in front of us, darn them for taking our reserved front row seats!
You can see DOS waving in this one if you look real close. And if you look behind her, NO PEOPLE! *gasp*
My mom also tried to get some pictures of us going down the drop. I think she got the tale end of us, but never us perfectly. Why must you be so fast Splash?
So close, so close...
We rode it a few more times after, getting the front row, of course It was really fun riding it those many times. I think it is fair to say Splash Mountain is the best attraction in MK and WDW, not exactly my favorite anymore, but I love it just the same. Splash Mountain will always have a special place in my heart
After Splash... uhhh... I can't say I remember what we did after. There is a gap between the last photo of Splash and our next endeavor, but I'm not sure if that's from other rides we did, since my mom and DYS rode BTMRR once while we were on Splash, but I can't be sure. Oh well, but I know after we went to what has come to be my favorite Disney Quick Service... GOLDEN OAK OUTPOST!
Like with Sanaa, I love love love LOOOOVVEEE this place so much! It is so neglected. I know most DISers on here don't really come this time of year like I've done on my past few trips and probably will do on future ones and don't have to deal with the harsh Florida heat, but if you don't go during the summer, check out this place and you won't regret it. It is in Frontierland, of course, and is right next to Splash, along the pathway between Frontierland and Adventureland. It is just a little shack and there are always seats open and there is never a line and the food is awesome! It is a lot like the regular Disney CS, but all the CMs seem more eager to work, not having to deal with the heat so much and only getting a few customers. So pay a visit sometime!
Okay, away from my long, long praising paragraph on this place, I had chicken fingers here as well as everyone else did. I think my mom got a veggie wrap or something along those lines. Everyone enjoyed the meal and it was definitely one of the better remembered CS meals.
DYS and I enjoying our food. You can see where I'm talking about with the Adventureland sign in the background.
Here is the miniature French Fry DOS found in her fries, it seriously was tiny. Of course, I had to get a picture before it entered one of our digestive systems (Or of the birds looming above).
During this time, we started discussing our plans for what we would do next. DYS wanted It's A Small World and I piped in with the Haunted Mansion. If you haven't noticed by now, my sisters and I are a VERY stubborn bunch, it's amazing how that quality is consistent throughout the three kids in my family. We had a little argument there, but DOS made a compromise and would come with me to the Haunted Mansion. We decided after we would all meet up back at Frontierland since it was the place that we'd gotten the most out of. So after, the meal, we all went back into Frontierland.
Of course, we were delayed again, when we hit into the Hoedown again. People always say this is hard to catch during a trip, but we had just ran into it TWICE over a six days time. What are the chances? DYS was pulled in, of course, but look by who this time...
Yup, one of the Country Bears (I don't know his name, humor me anyone if you could). I think Alyssa had a lot of fun with this guy. My mom went even crazier with the camera this time around. I'll try to narrow it down, but that's a bit hard for me
This is one of my favorites. I don't know what was going on, but I think it was one of the few times where DYS was really getting into it. So adorable
After all that, we made our way to Liberty Square to the Haunted Mansion since it was the closest and there was a pathway right by to get to Small World. I helped direct DYS and my mom in that direction, when they finally found their way and DOS and I headed straight for HM.
The wait was a bit longer than we expected, but it wasn't crazy long, so we still got through the line fairly quickly, but of course, the doors shut just before we could go into the fireplace room. I loved the Leota stone near the doors since I thought it was just so cool with my phone. I think I got it with her eyes opened
And I'll leave you off there. Yeah, cliffy heh heh! Just stay tuned for the True Account of DOS's ride on the Haunted Mansion... This is going to get mind-blowing...
