    We hurry and get down to Whitewater snacks and have a quick bite. The cashier totally undercharged us, so we went back and told him what happened. That was great, and we were on our way.

    I was totally not paying attention and didn't realize there was no toontown early entry, so we ran to Toontown, only to discover that it was not available this day. Oh well. We had tommorow. No worries. We had already rode Roger Rabbit earlier and seen Mickey Mouse at Ariel's.

    Went right to the Matterhorn, and rode. Didn't need to rider switch, but by the time we were leaving, there was a line forming that was growing large fast. We then went to Fantasyland and rode Peter Pan with about a 20 minute wait and Dumbo. Brandt, Ally, and I got the gold one! Too exciting! We were excited as it was Brandt's first time on Dumbo (like he'd remember it! ha ha). We also rode Alice and went on Storybook Canal Boats. We hadn't been on the canal boats in a few years. That was fun.

    We went over to see if Space Mountain had a line, and it did, but we got fast passes for noon (and we never used them). So then wandered over to DCA.

    Got in and went right to Tower of Terror. Line was about 20 minutes and Mark and Ally rode. Jacob and I HATE heights, so we stayed out. I told him I'd go on if he did (no dice). Ally got off the ride and said, "That was no big deal." My brave 7 1/2 year old! Anyway,...Jacob and I went shopping and watched them come out of the ride.

    Walked over and had lunch at Corn Dog Castle (those are the hugest corn dogs I've ever seen in my life), and kids had McDonald's. We had gotten Fast Passes for Mulholland Madness so we rode that after lunch and Mark decided not to ride, so I didn't get a rider switch. Walked to California Screamin' and measured Ally -- she was about 1/4" too short. Nothing worked. Anyway, the line was a little long, so we decided to wait until tommorow. Instead went to Bug's Land and rode the Lady Bug ride, but the lines were long for everything else, though looked short, the wait times were long. This was the only ride we'd never rode as it was closed last time.

    Went over and got in line for the preferred seating for Aladdin. That was SUCH an awesome show! We loved it. It was the first time for all of us. We LOVED it. The genie was halarious. We got a good seat -- we thought, first row after the front section. We had camels and the elephant walked right in front of us. We all thought it was a highlight.

    We took a break shortly after and took a swim. Actually Mark and I just hung out by the pool while the kids swam. We drank Cokes and sat in the sun. It was nice. Jacob and Ally both went down the slide. It was great. I just tried to absorb the moment.

    After that we thought that we'd try Rainforest Cafe again. We got there and there was a huge line. We didn't wait again and it was getting late.

    We went back to the hotel and ate a sandwich at Whitewater and the kids had some kids meals of some sort. It was quiet there and quick.

    Went back over to Disneyland and did the treehouse and Big Thunder again.

    It was snacktime, so we decided we hadn't had fritters yet, so we went to Mint Julep Bar and had fritters. Another treat we missed last time (although this time I missed the Dole Whip-darn!). They were tasty. We were going to watch Fantasmic, but we were all dragging and we'd seen it every time we'd been there the last few times. I needed to pack all the bags and the kid's were a mess. They help me pack, but to get everything in it, I'd have to do some maneuvering. We asked the kids if they minded if we left, after some long faces, they decided it was o.k. I think they were tired too. Brandt was!

    Packed and called it a night about 9:15.

    One more day left!

    Interesting, a couple of weeks ago a cashier at WWsnacks didn't charge me for my coffee travel mug. When I told him that I hadn't paid for it he said he thought I was just getting a refill :) It was a super weak cup of coffee for $6.99 or whatever it was but you do feel better paying the correct amount don't you?

    Gosh, we haven't had a fritter in Disneyland in years. Putting it on our to do list for our next trip :)
