Disney Scrapbook

I promised to show you all pictures of our Disney Scrapbook that we ordered from Disney's Photopass, and I got sidetracked. And now that I am learning to make videos, I decided that a video was definitely in order here! ;o) Overall, we were very pleased with the quality of the scrapbook, and my only complaint would be that I wish there were more background choices. It is an awesome keepsake, and well worth all the effort it took to create it! Enjoy the movie!

Family Pictures at Disney World

Okay, I know everyone thought that the Disney posting was over, but I do have a couple more blogs left to do. This blog is to show you the family pictures that we had taken at Disney. The Cinderella picture was included in our lunch at the castle, and the picture in front of the castle was our last ditch attempt to use photopass! Enjoy!

Random Disney Pics

Since we took almost 700 pictures and about 20 or so videos, I obviously didn't fit them all in with my blog. But I did want to show off some of these others, so I figured another slide show was definitely in order!!! Enjoy!!

Mousekeeping and Turn-Down Service

I have to admit that prior to this trip, I had never thought to tip the housekeeping staff at our hotel. Once I started reading about Disney, I learned this is a must! So, we printed off our envelopes (one for each day), stuffed them with money and left a new envelope each day! It is important that you leave the money each day, and not just one tip at the end of your stay since it is most likely that you will have more than one mousekeeper throughout your stay! We never had any complaints with our Mousekeeper. Our room was always clean and shiny when we went back for our afternoon rest breaks, and then there was that adorable towel doll that was left!

We weren't sure if we would get the turn-down service or not. I had read conflicting statements about this resort. Just in case, we made up separate tipping envelopes for this purpose, and we left them on the bed before we went out after our afternoon break. Well, sure enough, every night (except our last because we put out the do not disturb - remember our homebody night?), we had turn down service! The girls were also sure to bring 2 stuffed animals from home (Emyley snuck in an extra & we acquired 3 new ones, of course!) so that the Mousekeeper could "arrange" them for us! It was so much fun, almost like Christmas morning, wondering what our animals would be up to!! Oh, and we still have some of the chocolates left over that they put on our beds! I won't let anyone touch them!!! LOL!

So, here's the pics from our Turn-Down experiences!!

Night 2:



















Night 3:
**Thank you to our Mousekeepers for taking such good care of us during our stay!**

Time to go home....for real. :o(

Well, the day came that we had to head back home. We did get to have lots of fun our last day, as you all saw from my latest blogs!

One incredible thing about the Disney Magical Express service that I absolutely loved, was the ability to check in for our flight and check in our bags right at our hotel! They have a stand set up, they tag your luggage, and give you your boarding passes! We were all set to go in less than 15 minutes!! We were able to check in for our flight before even leaving for Magic Kingdom that morning! Once we got to Orlando Airport, we just went straight to security....no long lines! I loved it!! After a vacation of crowds and lines, this perk was fabulous!

Before our Magical Express bus came to take us to the airport, we took a few pictures around our resort, and then later at the airport (where our late flight was 30 minutes late!). Again, another slide show for your enjoyment!

How could I forget????

On our last morning, we were catching the monorail to Magic Kingdom, and we finally saw a monorail with an empty front car! So, Bill asked if we could ride up front and they said yes!!! I think I was more excited than the others as this was something I had read was very important to try to do! Well, unfortunately, only 4 people could ride up front, so I let Bill take the girls. The pilot joked that he better not see me running away from the monorail shouting, "I'm Free!!!!". LOL!! After we got to the Magic Kingdom, the pilot gave the girls a co-pilot license!

Day 5 - Time to go home.....

Hey, wait, not, yet!!! We still have all day to play since we don't leave our resort until 5:00!!! Yippee!!

So, since we had all day, we headed back to Magic Kingdom. There were a couple of things we didn't get to do the first go around, so they were top on our list. First, we headed to Dumbo. There was a small line, and before long we were flying away! Next up was Ariel's Grotto! Funny thing, we had got in line for this our first night, but the line was not moving at all, so we got out of line. Well, when we got in line this time, we were in the exact same spot!! So we said that in 3 days, the line had not moved at all!!! LOL! Then, of course, once we finally get to the front of the line, like 30 minutes later, and were the next to see Ariel, she had to take a break! Figures! But, we got to see her, and Emyley was so excited! She wore her Ariel shirt and the Ariel necklace she bought! And Ariel interacted really well with the girls! It was so sweet!

We rode a few rides again in Fantasyland, including Dumbo which had no line, and then we got on the Liberty Square Riverboat. I grabbed the last seat and just rested my feet the whole ride. I love riverboats, they are so relaxing! The girls, of course, wanted to go up and down every flight of stairs. Luckily, Bill was up for it! LOL!

Next, we headed to lunch at Pecos Bill's Cafe. It was barely 11:00, and already it was crowded! That was the only downfall about eating this whole trip....it was packed no matter where we went! The food was good, though and we hung out in the air conditioning for a bit. Next stop, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad....what, broke down, again?!?! We decided to get fast passes, but I figured we wouldn't make it back over there again, and I was right. Boo-hoo. It is the only roller coaster that I like to ride, so I was pretty bummed. The girls didn't care, they just wanted to hop on Splash Mountain and get soaked. But, I couldn't handle us being gross all day with no way to change before we went home, so we didn't get to do that, either.

We decided to just head over to Tomorrowland. The girls wanted to do Buzz Lightyear again, and of course the Transit Authority! We like to live on the edge! LOL!! We managed to slip right in to Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor, which was a pretty cute show that interacted with the audience. After a little browsing in one of the gift shops over there, we headed to Buzz and walked right on! Next we split up since Hayley wanted to go on the Carousel of Progress again and Bill wanted to do Stitch's Great Escape. Em went with Bill and I had Hayley and Syd. We met up right outside the entrace to the Transit Authority, so we hopped on. While we were on it, we saw Stitch doing autographs and pictures!! We hurried over, and the girls got to meet him. Bill asked for a picture with him, and Stitch gave him a big hug!! It was sooo funny!!

It was pretty much time to head to Main Street, so we could do our little bit of shopping. We stopped off in Casey's Corner to use up the rest of our dining credits and to rest up. Casey's Corner is at the end of the Main Stree Emporium which is full of shops. It runs continuously from one corner of main street to the other, which was great since everyone was lining up for the parade outside on Main Street. Bill started getting a headache, so I quickly ran through the shops to grab a couple things. And then we left the park. :o(
A little preface for this slide show.....We were worried that we had not taken very many pictures, so we pretty much clicked away all day! There are a lot here, so be patient and enjoy!!!

Night 4 - Homebodies!

So, after spending such a long day at Epcot, we were bushed! All I could think about was picking up a pizza (thanks to the pizza adventure game that was being played at Innoventions) at Gaspy's and staying in all night. By the time we fought the monorail crowds and got back, we were all tired, and just wanted to chill for a bit. When we got to our room, we had a very cute surprise....a towel doll from our Mousekeeper! She was so precious, I brought her home! And she lasted just fine in our suitcase! So sweet!

While Bill rested up before going to get our pizza, the girls and I soaked our feet in the tub using the Johnsons Foot Soap that was highly recommended by one of my internet sources! This was the 3rd time I had soaked my feet, and Sydney was feeling left out, so she joined me. Then Hayley felt left out and wanted Sydney, so she stuck her feet in, too. And Emyley just had to be a part of it, too, so in her feet went, too! LOL! Em and Hayley didn't last very long since the water was pretty warm and they wanted to go play! Syd hung in for a bit longer, and I stayed until the water was cool.

Bill and the little ones headed off to Gaspy's to get the pizza, Sydney went and got ice and I got the room ready for dinner. It was soooo good, and the girls loved eating in our room. After dinner we rested for a bit and at about 8:50 we headed to the end of the dock to watch the Wishes Fireworks at Magic Kingdom.

It had just started to rain, and boy was I glad that we hadn't stayed at Epcot...ick! We were lucky that the spot to sit and watch the fireworks was also the covered waiting area for the boat launch! So, we got to sit down out of the rain to wait. We kind of figured they would cancel the fireworks because of the rain, but they didn't! It was really neat. We couldn't hear what all was going on as far as the music, but the fireworks were sooooo pretty! The girls really liked it, too! Just as we started to head back to our room, the Electrical Water Pageant began, and we got to watch that, too!! It is basically a lighted parade on the water. Most of our pictures didn't turn out, but there were a couple that did.
Anyway, sit back and enjoy this slide show......

Day 4 - Epcot

Because of our early night the night before, we were all rested and ready to get to Epcot for the early magic hour. Even my feet were feeling better! Being on the monorail route because of our resort, we didn't have to wait on any buses this trip...yay!

The newest and most popular attraction at Epcot is called Soarin. We figured everyone would be rushing to that ride first, so we went in the opposite direction to Mission Space. While Hayley and Bill took off for Mars on the Mission Space ride; Syd, Em and I got fast passes for Test Track. Hayley totally loved going to Mars!! She wanted to go back immediately!

Bill and the girls did the Test Track ride, which Em and Syd did not care for one bit! I was glad I sat out of that one, as my tummy was already feeling a bit upset from breakfast.

The next place we went was to Ellen's Energy Adventure Ride. I had no idea what to expect here, but it was actually really cool. There was a short ride in these large cars, and we saw some dinosaurs. Emyley thought that was the coolest!

We had heard about this place called Club Cool where you could sample Coca-Cola products from around the world for free. I didn't try them all, but Em and Hayley sure did! There is one flavor called Beverly that is from Italy that is very bitter! Bill didn't care for that at all. I liked the Fanta Kolita from Costa Rica. It pretty much tasted like Strawberry Soda. Yum!

Another thing to do at Club Cool is build a really cute character cup. You can build: Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Princess and Stitch. Of course we all had to take part in this! And why we didn't all get different ones, I'll never know! LOL!

We were getting hungry by this point, so we headed over to the Land Pavilion where Soarin is located. We had a quick lunch there at Sunshine Seasons and then grabbed our fast passes for Soarin. This attraction is so popular, that our fast pass return time was actually 3 hours later! So, we decided to have more fun while we waited! We rode the Living with the Land Boat ride which took us through some really cool greenhouses where they grow Cinderalla Pumpkins shaped like Mickey Heads! They also experiment with ways of growing veggies and fruits, such as not using soil and hanging them! It was actually pretty interesting! Emyley decided she wants to be a scientist at Disney when she grows up! LOL!

Our next stop was the Living Seas Pavilion where we rode the Seas with Nemo and Friends. It was a pretty cute ride centered on finding Nemo. One amazing feature is that they actually have the cartoon fish inside the aquariums with the real fish! That was actually pretty cool! Next we saw a diving exhibition and walked through the aquariums. Syd and Hayley really like the Manatees!

It still wasn't time to head back to Soarin, so we stopped off in one of the Innoventions buildings. I immediately sought out a bench and took a break while Bill took the girls through the building. The best thing (besides resting my feet) was that the buiding we went in was the one with the Segway demonstration! Bill had been wanting to do this, and he got his chance! He had to sit through a training session, and then he got to take a spin on one! It was fun to watch him doing this!

After innoventions, it was time for a snack. We headed to the ice cream cart where Emyley got a rainbow popsicle, Hayley got a Mickey Head Ice Cream Bar, Sydney got a Nestle Crunch Ice Cream Bar and Bill & I both got Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Sandwiches. Since it was almost time for us to ride Soarin, we headed back to the Land food court to eat and wait.
For those who don't know what Soarin is, I will try to explain. You are seated in these sling-type seats that resemble hang gliders. You are then raised high above the floor and positioned in front of this huge movie screen where you then "glide" over California! While you are gliding, you can smell the oranges in the orange grove as you soar over, you can feel the arctic chill from the snow in the mountains and the wind is blowing in your hair. It was really the most amazing ride that we did that whole trip! We wanted to do it again and again, but it was just too long of a wait for us! Anyone headed to Epcot, you must do this ride! After Soarin, we walked right back on the boat ride in the Land...Emyley insisted!

Next we headed to the Imagination Pavilion and rode Journey into Imagination with Figment. This was a pretty silly ride, and the girls really like it a lot. When you get done with that ride, you exit through the Image Works Kodak What If Labs. It is a fun place where kids can make music by moving their arms, jump on pictures to make sounds and email a cool picture of your family to yourself (still haven't gotten it, though). On the way out, we found the upside down waterfall, which was a question the girls needed answered for their Disney journals!

When Bill went to get our stroller he discovered that we received a dream (kind of)!!!! This is the Year of a Million Dreams at Disney and people can win all sorts of prizes from a night in the Castle to fast passes for every ride. Well, sitting on top of our stroller were 3 dream fast passes! Some of the rides had already been used on it, but the main one: Mission Space, had not. So Hayley got her wish and was able to ride it again! This was very exciting and we thank whoever had picked our stroller out of the millions parked in the same spot to drop off their passes!!!

But before heading to Mission Space again, Bill wanted to go to France for an eclair and I wanted to see the Beast. By this point, I was pretty much ready to leave the park, though as my feet were hurting again. Well, one thing we didn't realize last time we were at Epcot, is they have boats that will take you across the big lake in the middle to the countries! So, we departed Canada and docked in Morocco. Took a quick jaunt to France, got the eclair, missed the Beast and boarded the boat back to Canada all in about 20 minutes! LOL!

Then it was off to Mars for Bill and Hayley, and then off to our resort. We did pretty good, though. We arrived around 8:00am and stayed until 6:00pm! Bill was pretty disappointed since every trip we have taken to Disney, he has missed the Illuminations fireworks. So, we made plans to sit on the dock at our resort and watch the Magic Kingdom Wishes fireworks instead. There was just no way I was going to make it back to Epcot!

Chef Mickey's

Dinner on our third night was at Chef Mickey's located in the Contemporary Resort. We had done this dinner before, so we were old pros. We were a little disappointed that Chip and Dale weren't there, but instead we had Pluto and Goofy, so that was good, too! The dinner itself is a buffet with prime rib, salmon and pork loins with all kinds of sides, a great salad bar and wonderful desserts! It was easy to get very stuffed!! We were lucky to be the second table in the character rotation, so we got done meeting the characters fairly quickly and were able to enjoy our meal. The characters didn't seem to interact as much as the last time, but our girls weren't giving them any inspiration, either. So, another character dinner we probably won't do again...sigh. If we had paid out of pocket instead of using our free dining plan, it would have cost us $136.89! Again, there are so many pics, so just sit back and enjoy the slide show!

Day 3 - Animal Kingdom

This was our second time to ever go to Animal Kingdom, and we knew that there were at least two rides on our must-do list: Expedition Everest and Kali River Rapids. Our plan of attack was to be at the park when it opened and head straight to Asia so Bill, Sydney and Hayley could ride Everest. Well, best laid plans.....

First off, my feet were killing me by this point! I had read, of course, to wear comfy shoes. I had also read to wear shoes you were used to wearing. Our last Disney trip, we made the mistake of wearing new shoes....ugh! So, we mostly all brought flip flops. Well, for Hayley and Emyley it was a non-issue since they had a stroller to ride around in. Bill had some really nice Addidas flips, and Sydney took breaks in the stroller as well. I wore my trusty Keds flips. Well, because of the way the inside of them are made, they rubbed blisters. I had switched to regular flips once, and they had no support. I had tried moleskin the first two days of our trip, and the adhesive irritated my feet. So, that was problem number one with this day!

Next, Animal Kingdom was having an early entry day. That meant they were opening at 8:00am, and for us to be there by opening time, we needed to be at the bus stop by 7ish to allow for wait time and travel time. We also knew that we wanted to eat a good breakfast at our resort before hand, since we made the mistake of snacking for breakfast the day before (VERY bad idea!). This meant we needed to be at Gaspy's for breakfast by 6:30 which meant getting up at 6:00. No biggie, right? Well, when you add in the fact that the day before we were at Magic Kingdom by 8:00 and stayed pretty much all day (with a couple hour break) until 10:00 and didn't get to sleep until 10:30 or so.......it just wasn't going to happen!

So, we decided not to rush ourselves and just do what we could. We did get the big breakfast and was only about an hour behind schedule when we got to the bus stop. This became problem number 3 for the day! We watched many, many buses go by....mostly for the same destinations before the Animal Kingdom bus ever arrived (at least a 30 minute wait)! We were one of the first people on the bus, which was almost full. The bus was just about to pull out, when someone on an electric scooter came up to catch the bus. The bus driver had to assist them on, and guess where he had to put the scooter? Yep, right where we had sat down! So, we had to all stand for the 20 minute trip to the park. There was one very nice, older lady who tried to give up her seat for Bill since he was holding Emyley, but he told her to go ahead and sit back down...well, her seat disappeared while she was being so nice and had to stand as well!

So, by this time not only my feet were killing me, but my back as well. I had no idea how I was going to get through the day. Then the bus dropped us off way away from the entrance (well, it felt like a long way to me...LOL). Once we got inside, though, it was so nice and shady. We discovered there were many benches lined up where I could take breaks if I needed to. There was hope, yet....

We headed to Asia as we had planned, and while we were crossing the bridge, we looked to our right and saw Everest in the distance. After stopping to take pics, we headed on again, and as we were almost upon the ride entrance, we noticed the train was stopped on the tracks. Yep, the ride was shut down! Talk about disappointment for Bill!

So, next on the list....Kali River Rapids. The rumor is that you get soaked....well, I have heard that before. So, no, I didn't take the advice to bring our ponchos. BIG Mistake!!! Even though, Emyley was tall enough to ride the ride, she had to have a special bar as her seat belt. She was deemed the captain, and she thought that was great! I don't have much faith in her captaincy skills any longer, though, as I was the one who got completely drenched!! This is not an exaggeration in the least...I felt as though I had jumped into the shower with my clothes on! Hayley also got pretty wet! It was great! LOL!

My tired, aching feet were really taking a toll on me, so I took a rest while Bill and the girls went through the Maharajah Jungle Trek. I was glad I took the break, as when they got back they reported that the Tiger exhibit was closed! I would've been very disappointed!

Snack time came next, and while we were sitting down to eat, we heard some screams in the distance....yep, Everest was open again! Hayley decided she wasn't to tackle that roller coaster, yet, so Bill and Sydney headed off by themselves. Bill loved the ride, Sydney does not want to do it ever again! She did get a Yeti souvenir out of the deal, though, so I guess it wasn't a total bust for her! ;o)

Refreshed and shaky (Sydney), we headed to Africa so we could hop on the Kilimanjaro Safari ride. Unfortunately, it was a 60 minute wait time, and the Fast Pass return time was too late for us since we had to leave for dinner reservations pretty early. The girls were pretty disappointed, as was I....my feet could've used another rest!

We were on our way to DinoLand USA, when we passed a sign for Camp Minnie-Mickey. We didn't do this part last time we were at the park, and it looked deserted, so we took a detour and guess who we found? Minnie Mouse!! Mickey, Goofy and Donald were also there, but the lines were too long and there weren't any benches to rest on, so we had to forego those.

So, off were went, again to DinoLand, and I was just miserable. I asked Bill to check the time since I knew we needed to head to the bus stop by 3:30 to make dinner. He said it was almost 3:00, so off we went out of the park. Emyley was very disappointed that we missed seeing any dinosaurs. We waited about 20 minutes for a bus this time, and we got to sit down! AAHHHH, it was so nice! Then I looked at the clock....it was only about 1:00! I questioned Bill about it, and he said that he knew I wasn't feeling well, and really needed to go back to the resort, but that I wouldn't go if I knew we still had time to do stuff. AAAWWWW so sweet!

We got back to our room, and I claimed the bed after I soaked my feet. Those beds are really the most comfortable ever, and I totally didn't want to get out of it until the next day, but Mickey was waiting for us to dine with him, and I couldn't disappoint.....

Magic Kingdom Day, Part 2

After lunch, we were pretty wiped out, so we decided to head back to our resort. Magic Kingdom was having Evening Magic Hours that night and would be open until midnight...we needed lots of rest if we were going to make it! We hopped on the boat launch that would take us back to our resort. We didn't realize our building was right beside the dock for the launch! It was nice to only have a short walk back to our room!


We took the monorail back to MK about 5:30. We needed to find a place to get our bracelets that signified we were allowed to ride the rides after the park closed. Although, the lines for the attractions were still pretty low, it sure felt as though the park had filled up! Our first stop was the train station where we wanted to catch the train and head over to Mickey's Toon Town Fair. The only ride over here that we wanted to do was The Barnstormer at Goofy's Wiseacre Farm. Syd wasn't feeling too well, so she and I sat out. Bill and the girls got to ride it twice in a row, literally! Even though Hayley won't admit it, she really did like it! Emyley wanted to ride it all night! LOL!


We also managed to fit in Swiss Family Treehouse, Magic Carpets of Aladdin (again) and Mickey's PhilharMagic 3-D Movie. By this time, we were getting pretty hungry, and we went to Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe for some burgers and chili cheese fries. We really didn't notice the time, but the Wishes Fireworks show started while we were eating, so it was around 9:00! Emyley fell asleep while we were in line for our food, so she missed dinner altogether! She didn't wake up until we got to our room over an hour later, and then went right back to sleep til morning!

Sydney had heard that riding on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority at night is a must-do, so after dinner we headed over there. It was really cool seeing all the neon lights lit up. We were really surprised that the crowd didn't thin out at all after the park closed around 9:15, since the park only stayed open late for resort guests. After riding the TTA, we were all so tired, and decided to call it a night. Unfortunately, the boat launch was closed for the night, so we had to take the looooooong ramp up to catch the monorail with everyone else! It was a very long day, and we had plans to get up at 6:00am the next morning to start our next adventure......

Cinderella's Royal Table

For lunch, we wanted to dine like royalty, so we made reservations for Cinderella's Royal Table which is located in Cinderella Castle! This reservation is very hard to get, and because it was so busy for the free dining promotion, they were very strict about checking in early. So, at exactly 15 minutes before our reservation, we checked in and were given a card to present to the photographer that would be taking our picture with Cinderella!! And since there were 5 of us, we got to have two picture pacakges. The picture packages are included in the price of the meal, so we thought that was too cool! I originally thought we would get two packages of the same pose, but they let us do two different poses! Once Bill takes them to work and scans them for me, I will post them. The one with all of us turned out really good!

But, anyway, on with the lunch....First thing they brought out to us was a Chef's tasting plate. It included a very delicious BLT Salad, cheese cubes, grapes, Antipasto chicken, and some ham & cheese slices. This was a very cool way to serve appetizers, I thought. For our entrees, Bill and I ordered Major Domo's Favorite Pie (very rich and delicious!), Sydney ordered the Pasta al Pomodoro, Hayley & Emyley ordered the Kids Chicken Strips with Beef & Macaroni and green beans & carrots. For dessert, Bill, Syd and I ordered some kind of chocolate concoction with a brownie and ice cream and Hayley and Em both ordered the Ice Cream Sundae topped with a Chocolate Crown! Without the free dining plan, we would have paid $176.10!!!

Everything really was good, but you know we mostly went for the Princesses! This will probably be our last time to do this particular lunch. There is the time factor involved since it took about 1 1/2 hours total, which could have been spent in the park. Although, my feet really enjoyed the break! Also, the girls didn't want to interact with the Princesses at all, and I kind of felt like the Princesses didn't want to be there. They didn't interact with the girls, either! So, we did it, got the autographs, got the pictures, and now we (I) don't have to worry about it again! LOL!

Day 2 - Magic Kingdom Day!

Our second day at Disney World was designated Magic Kingdom day. Because we were staying on property, we were able to take advantage of a program that they run in the fall called "Little Ones Magic Hour". Because of this, we got to enter Magic Kingdom 1 hour early, and they had all of Fantasyland open for us to enjoy! One really cool feature of this program, is that many characters come out and play with the little kids! We saw Peter Pan and Wendy playing ball with a group of kids, Tigger and Pooh were playing on the playground there, Stitch was riding Dumbo....I can't remember them all!

We didn't play with them, though....we were too interested in taking advantage of the VERY short lines! We walked right on to Snow White's Scary Adventure, Peter Pan's Flight, It's a Small World, Cinderella's Golden Carousel and the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh all before the park even officially opened!

After Fantasyland, we headed to the "Mountains"....well, Splash Mountain anyway. Big Thunder Mountain ended up being closed while we were over there. :o( But the girls all loved Splash Mountain, and we all ended up pretty soaked! Sydney was sitting on the right hand side of the boat, and was soaked before the ride even really got started!

It was time for some Pirate Adventures after that, so we headed over to Adventureland. We rode Magic Carpets of Aladdin ride for the first time, and it was really cool. A lot like Dumbo, but your "carpet" can tilt. Of course, we couldn't leave out Pirates of the Caribbean with Captain Jack Sparrow and Davy Jones. Then we took a little Jungle Cruise.

We then headed to Tomorrowland for some futuristic fun. We defeated the Emperor Zurg in Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, learned about the progress of technology in The Carousel of Progress and took a breezy tour through Tomorrowland on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority!

It was getting close to our lunch reservation by this time, so we headed back to Fantasyland where Bill and the girls took some time out for tea on the Mad Tea Party. We did a little shopping in Tinker Bell's Treasures and Sir Mickey's, then we headed to lunch at Cinderella's Royal Table.....
