Holiday Hootennanies with Scarlett and the Fam Damily! Day Two, Part 4, Updated 4/25 About This Page:

Once we were done eating – (and the French Toast Loaf was everything I had dreamed it would be), we made our way to Fantasyland to find Krista & Company. I rang her on her cell, and she directed me over to Dumbo. We jumped in line, while Mama and Dad decided to sit this one out and watch us fly over Fantasyland. This was one of the longest lines we waited in the whole trip – probably fifteen minutes or so. While we waited, Krista told me they had gotten lots of Photopass pictures and ridden Cinderella’s Carousel prior to meeting back up with us.

Krista's pictures (Photopass and otherwise):


I think Krista was trying to get a close-up pictures of the lights -- which you can just baaaaarely see in the second picture.



Krista offered to let me ride with her and Maeve, but I opted to get my own elephant – those guys are kinda small, and there was no need to be squished. We had a fine time soaring through the air (with lots of waves and hoots and hollers to Mama and Dad below ), and got some great pictures.


This picture cracks me up -- Jeff's trying to lift Mackenzie up for the photo op, and Mackenzie's like, "DAAAAD! You're killing me!"



My favorite...


Up next was Snow White’s Scary Adventures. We had absolutely no wait, and Jeff sat with the girls in the front of our Dopey car, while Krista and I sat in the middle and Mama and Dad took the back. As we rounded the first corner, Mama leaned forward and said to Krista and I: “Now if you girls get scared, just remember that your Mama is right back here.” Mackenzie and Maeve thought this idea was pretty funny.



At the end, Maeve yelled out to waving Dopey, "HEY DOPEY! We're in your car! Ha!"

We hopped over to Peter Pan next, where we walked though an almost empty queue. It was so empty that there were two folks waiting at the FastPass entrance (I suppose they had picked them up first thing this morning), and a Cast Member came to greet them and let them through, telling them to keep their FastPasses for later as it made no difference for them to use them now.

I rode with Miss Mackenzie on this flight over London (one of my faves!).



Jeff didn't trip coming off the ride this time.

Next we headed over to Maeve’s favorite, it’s a small world. This one was also a total walk on. I was hoping to see the clock strike, but we had just missed it. I offered to sit in the middle of our row so Mama and Dad could sit on the ends, and we started our journey around the world. Maeve and I both squealed when we came across our favorite – the hippo.



After we exited iasw, Mama requested that we do one of her favorites – Mickey’s Philharmagic. No problem! We found ourselves waiting for a few minutes in outside of the Automagic doors, and I agree with Sharon – a pre show would be nice!

With no pre-show to entertain, I have to resort to taking pictures of people in funny glasses -- no matter how many times I've taken this same picture before.



We got settled into a mid-theatre row (after doing some rearranging to avoid having the little ones sitting behind tall folks), and the sound of Goofy the State Manager’s voice prompted Dad to break out his Goofy impression, which is spot-on. So realistic is it that the little boy in front of him whipped around and stared Dad down. He didn’t say anything, but you could read his face – “Did that voice come out of you? How did you do that?”

The show was fantastic as always, and Maeve actually left her glasses on for the entire time (3D stuff used to scare her a little, but she’s overcome that recently).

After we had returned our opera glasses to the appropriate bin, we decided to split up for a little while: the girls wanted to go meet Ariel, and Mama wanted to check into the Olde Christmas Shoppee to see if they had the village piece that Mary Clayton had requested.

Up next: Conquering mountains, having lunch, and when Disney Magic = humiliation.
