Our fast passes didn’t start until around lunch time, so we meandered around for the morning, bumping into Stitch and taking a ride on the People Mover to give Mother a bird’s-eye view of how things have changed in 20 years!
We jokingly called it the day of interesting characters because after bumping into Stitch we almost walked up to Fairy Godmother, who none of us had ever previously met. She was LOVELY and we all got a good laugh when she asked if our two princes would be a good match for the stepsisters. I told her I’ve got my sights set on Cindy. :-)
We hit all of the classic favorites in Fantasyland, including It’s a Small World and Peter Pan.
And then we made our way to Be Our Guest for lunch!!!
Afterwards we did a spin on the Teacups (should have done that before lunch!) and then we walked out to meet another “interesting” character, the White Rabbit!
We had a fast pass for Buzz Lightyear, where Mother took on Whit, Sister and Bird paired up (their photo didn’t come through) and I was OYO. We also did the Carousel of Progress and Monsters Inc Laugh Floor.
Our last fast pass of the day was for Seven Dwarf’s Mine Train. *squeal* Everyone loved it!!
At this point we staked out a spot on Main Street for the Festival of Fantasy Parade and all gobbled up Mickey ice cream cones.
I could watch this parade a million times and it would never get old.
Since we were already on Main Street, we headed to meet Mickey in Town Square!!!
And Mother treated the littles to their “Stuffie” animals (from Doc McStuffins).
In Storybook Circus we did Dumbo. It was my first time waiting with any bit of a line, so I loved seeing the little play area inside, even if we were only there for about five minutes.
On our way back to Town Square, I was SO excited to bump into Brett from Disney After Dark!!!
As our full day drew to a close, we did dinner at Tony’s Town Square Restaurant. We were leery because it consistently receives poor reviews, but we ALL LOVED IT!!!! It was cute – with a heart a and paw prints outside and a darling fountain indoors. There was a nice space to wait in, with a TV playing cartoons. We were seated promptly and our server was great. Our food was surprisingly yummy. Between us, we had the butternut squash soup (which Sister proclaimed the best ever), the spaghetti and meatballs, and the tomato mozzarella salad. We will definitely dine here again, and reservations are usually available. Next time I will request to be seated at a window overlooking Main Street.
On our way out of the park we caught the Main Street Electric Parade – another classic that hasn’t changed much in 20 years.
It was such a fun day!!! And we went to bed excited to do it all over again!!!
