We got up and out of the room a little earlier than normal. The line for the bus was huge but we made it on.
Upon getting to the MK, we headed back to Fantasy Land for a FP for Pooh. While my DH and DS went to get them, my DD took a ride on the Carousel. We had a while to wait for our turn on Pooh. We went over to Peter Pan. I love this ride especially the part where we are flying over the town. Then we went over to Small World. It was hard work to keep my DS quiet. He definately doesn't like this one. Dumbo was way too crowded so we never made it on that one.
We went into the Lion King show, but after seeing the one at AK, we thought that they should replace this one with something else.
It was time for Pooh. We got on and really enjoyed it. We like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride too and if you really think about it, Disney probably didn't do much more than change the music and the scenery. Some parts of the ride seemed so similar.
Since our kids were very interested in getting autographs, we thought we would spend some time getting them instead of mainly focusing on rides. This entirely satisfied them. Ariel's line was too long so we headed over to the Mad Tea Party. They wanted to ride this and after we got off, who should they see but Alice and the Mad Hatter.
Our DS didn't want Alice's autograph so I stood in line with our DD for it. Alice was so kind. We next got in line for the Mad Hatter. He was hilarious! And made such a big deal that our DS had a Goofy hat instead of his.
To the right of them appeared Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum and the White Rabbit. After getting their autographs we thought it was time to head to another part of the park.
Toontown was next and we actually got our DD on the Barnstormer. She has decided that "small" rollercoasters aren't all bad. We wandered around Toontown enjoying the sights. Our DD wanted a souvenier but couldn't decide so since we were hungry we headed off in search for food.
We stopped in at Cosmic Ray's but it was too crowded and didn't smell good. So we headed off to where we knew we would get good food, Columbia Harbour House. It wasn't as crowded and soon found a place to sit down and eat.
The Haunted Mansion was our next stop. The last time we were in MK, our DS refused to go on this ride. This time it was our DD who did not want to go but did anyway. She still did not like it.
We had our pictures taken in the stocks in Liberty Square. No characters around.
Splash Mountain was out of FP's and the line was definately too long. BTMR's line was waitable so we went there. I must be getting old because this made me nauseous or it must be my ears. This area was tremendously crowded so we headed out of there as quick as we could. We grabbed an ice cream bar, mine was the strawberry ice thing which soothed my stomach.
We got FP's for Jungle Cruise. While we were waiting we headed over to Pirates of the Caribbean. It was closed for rehab. We did see Captain Hook and was able to get him and Mr. Smee together for autographs and a picture.
After the Jungle Cruise, my DD and I went through the SFR Tree House. Boy, was it crowded!
Deciding to head to the train station at the front of the park, we ran across the Sheriff of Nottingham, Rebecca from Tale Spins, the Genie from Aladdin, King Louie and Rafiki all by store near Pirates of the Caribbean. Getting pics and autographs were fun.
We stopped at the Tiki Room for a little rest stop and then headed for the train. A parade was going on at the time, so we stopped and watched it from afar. As the end came near, we cut through over by Casey's and down Main Street. We were able to catch most of the parade again up close near the fire station.
Our wait for the train was one of the longest waits for a ride the whole week. We finally got on and rode around to Toon Town. Here we met up with Launch Pad from Duck Tails and Meeko.
We went into the County Bounty and our DD finally made up her mind about her souvenier. She purchased a WDW backpack which she still proudly uses.
After stopping for another ice cream bar (mine, of course, the strawberry one), we passed up the cars because of a long line.
We rode the TTA hoping for a look into SM but it was down. Our next ride was Buzz Lightyear. We rode it twice. So much fun! And the lines went so fast.
We stopped and got our pictures on the bridge crossing over from Tomorrowland with the castle in the background.
On Main Street we went in search for our DS a souvenier. We looked and looked. Finally he settled on a pair of Goofy boxers. We were glad to get out of there.
Our last evening was very relaxed. We went to the food court for dinner and then back to the room to get ready for our trip home the next day.

What a busy day in the MK.
