You can take the Girl out of Disney, BUT.........

We made our way to the fort and Claire took off exploring. Skip found a spot to sit…with many other adults. I was surprised how little they had available for sitting. Most parents were leaning on a wall or converting something to sit on….they need many more benches here.
I explored too and took a few pictures.
I decided to try some artsy shots and have different focus points.
And a couple of more artsy shots.

I had some dirty looks from kids when I was waiting my turn to get to the gun and cannon. LOL
I actually lost Claire for a bit…and was scared. I asked Skip if he saw her and he said no…and I kept walking through the fort and couldn’t find her. She had been in there the whole time….we were just not in the same area at the same time and it kind of freaked me out a bit that it would be easy for kids to leave and no one would ever noticed.
We had had enough of the island…it was just too dang hot and though Claire liked it, I don’t like spending time at Disney doing this kind of run around play for too long. She got some energy out and that was good.
We had to wait for the raft again.

Another boat was coming around.
We loaded and we had a captain change too.
The lovey dovey couple were with us again on the return ride…this time I think the heat got to them as well and they weren’t so touchy feely. They are sitting right on the other side of this sign. And I’m sure they are a very nice couple…but it was hot and I hate being crammed up next to people.
We weren’t sure if they were training someone or just moving a raft around…but this empty one was off to the side of the main crossway.

We did skip the interactive queue. I am not sure how that works really. It seems like you lose your place in line when you go that way, while in the regular line you keep moving. Maybe I am missing something?
The ride was fun…we didn’t have switching heads in the hitchhiking ghost area like I did last summer. I forget actually what did happen, but we laughed and loved it….Maybe our heads got bigger?
Believe it or not…it was time for another smoke break. LOL. So off through Fantasyland we went.

I'm going to say Training
I bet so too.
I saw the crane in action so I took a quick shot.
And I kept moving. Skip then said “Jen, Quick take a picture of that”. So I looked up and this is what I saw….the newest, greatest Fantasyland ride.
I sure wish I had my telephoto lens for that. WE all were laughing and lots of jokes were made.
The smoking section is right near the castle, so I took several more shots.

The people in front of us were kind of annoying. They kind of acted like the line was “theirs” and a little loud and annoying. It consisted mostly of adults and they were playing a little too rough with the interactive queue things.
Claire enjoyed running around and playing, but she would keep looking back at me to be sure she could see me still…..Skip did walk out there with her and kept a closer eye on her as well.
Claire really enjoyed the interactive play while waiting.

Claire really concentrated hard at making her bee follow along.
When we got to the end she wondered what to do. (She wasn’t getting good examples from the people in front of us). I told her to hand it off to whoever was waiting on the other side, and she did it so nicely.
This wall made me cringe. She loved it…but I just kept thinking about how many other people have touched it…she was doused with hand sanitizer afterwards.
Another look over to Fantasyland.
While waiting in line, we had some people ask where Claire got her dress. I would love to promote my dear Dis friend Janet…but Claire thinks that Mrs. Claus made it….so that is the answer I had to give when she was around.
Time to ride!
And a few shots in the gift shop….soooo cute!

The ground is even themed……so cute.
I think the line was about 30 minutes…maybe less…but for Dumbo…that isn’t too bad, so we hopped in line.
And of course I took pictures while we waited.
You are not going to believe this….but we had another Non-english speaking family behind us…the ones that make you feel like they want to jump in front of you in line. I swear they were constantly breathing down the back of my neck. They had 2 little ones that kept running up in the line too. I know it’s hard to wait…I hate waiting too…but I guess I have been fairly lucky that all my kids learned early on that if you want to ride…you wait patiently……well you wait. LOL
Again it was hot…and I just hate people right up against my backside. I will move as soon as the people in front of me do.

Thanks. Yes, Splash gets pretty wild. We were at Mk last about a week later (Spring break) and BTMR was running and Splash still had really long lines then too.
Finally we got to hop in our elephants. I took a few more pictures before liftoff.
And we now are in the sky!
I was really trying to get pictures of the new Fantsayland.
If I had been thinking though, I should’ve looked down and got some of the other Dumbo ride being built.
Sadly I thought of that while we were ending and this was the only picture I got of it.
We had a fun time. I’m glad we rode it.
We debated on Goofy’s Barnstermer, but Claire said no. The line had gotten long, but she was adamant about not riding it as well.
So we headed off to the new bathrooms.
