After our two trips with Pooh, it was off to the carousel! There was absolutely no wait for it. Rose got to ride Cinderella’s horse, which made Grace very sad. While Christian and I watched the girls ride, I talked with a man who was watching his son ride the carousel; the son was about Christian’s age and didn’t seem all that excited about being on the carousel! The man said his wife and daughter were riding, as well, and he told me they had wanted to find Cindy’s horse but didn’t know which one it was. I described it for him, and then pointed it out (it’s on the second row in, with a golden ribbon on its tail and purple flowers on its mane; there will be a picture of Grace riding it during the P & P party later on in the TR.)
There's Daddy and Kate! So easy to spot in their yellow shirts!
See Rose's yellow shirt? See the golden ribbon on her horse's tail?
We had skipped It’s a Small World earlier, so it was time for our trip around the world. This is one of our family’s favorite rides; we love the music and all the colorful singing dolls. It was my little brother’s favorite ride when he was 3 and it probably drove my mom crazy when that was all he would ride (he didn’t like rides that went around!) but we ride it multiple times each trip. This is one of the accessible rides in Fantasyland; you get to enter through the exit ramp, which takes you right down to the platform to wait for the accessible boat. The wait is never long here, so we were riding and singing very shortly. I didn't take any photos, because I just wanted to enjoy the ride with my family (plus it is really hard to get good photos in here without using the flash!)
We called my MIL while we rode, leaving a message with the small world song playing in the background. She loves this ride as much as we do! Apparently, when she and FIL heard the message, she said to him, “We should have been there…” This is good news for us, since it means we’ll all be going again…hopefully sooner rather than later! Right after I hung up, I got a call from my brother. They had arrived at the MK, and were on their way to Toon Town. We had done almost everything we had wanted to do in Fantasyland, so we made plans to meet up in TT shortly!
Up next: riding Kate's rollercoaster!
