Day 8

Spin that Cup!

An early rise to make Rope Drop at Magic Kingdom to watch the Welcoming Ceremony - very cute and definitely worth seeing. We spent time in Tomorrowland, Olivia loved Space Mountain but Alexis was just mm too short to ride. She took it so well the cast member gave her a voucher to buy a new toy and a voucher for popcorn for the whole family! Another magic moment that just wouldn't happen anywhere else..

So the ride run down for the morning:

- Buzz Space Ranger spin x 2
- Space Mountain x 2
- Astro orbitor
- Tea Cup and Saucers
- Dumbo (spent some time in the queue area even though the ride was a walk on - such a great idea to have a playground there, the girls loved t)
- Mickey's Philharmagic
- Peter Pan's flight
- It's a small world

We then stopped for lunch at Pinocchio Village Haus which was the usual quick service fair. After lunch we rode Prince Charming's Carousel, Dumbo, the Barnstormer and Winnie the Pooh. We decided to collect our popcorn and took it to wait for the train which runs around the park. We only got a few stops though when we saw a Woody and Jessie meet and greet going on so we jumped off and lined up to meet them. Alexis was wearing a Jessie dress which Jessie was very happy to see! We had to queue for about 25 minutes to meet them - this was the longest we had to queue for any characters of attractions for our entire stay!

Meeting a Fav!

We made our way out and onto the boat to go to Fort Wilderness and Pioneer Hall where we were having dinner at the Hoop Dee Doo Revue! The playground and surrounds at Fort Wilderness were idyllic, I think it would be a great place to stay.

We all loved Hoop Dee Doo - all you can eat BBQ ribs and fried chicken, drinks served in Mason jars and some fantastic entertainment. The Pioneer Hall players sung old country and western style songs and acted out skits - there was a tonne of slapstick and the girls couldn't get enough of it! The napkin twirling and washboard playing was tremendous fun.
