Toontown not only doesn't require a rush it doesn't even open until an hour after the rest of the park. So, per usual, I headed for Peter Pan first thing. Next I checked I checked Fantasy Faire to make sure Tangled would be playing since I wasn't on my Fantasyland day. It would be for the early shows. Next was a cruise in the Storybookland Canal Boats. I still had about 20 minutes before Toontown opened, just enough time for it's a small world. As I entered Toontown there was a couple who had never been there before. They thought it was "trippy." Once inside Toontown, I walked on Gadget's Go Coaster. This is one I've never done before. It's a great starting coaster for little kids but the ride us so short. If I'd had to wait at all it wouldn't have been worth it. Next I headed to Roger Rabbit's Cartoon Spin stopping to get a picture with Goofy on the way. I had no wait on RR either. I then went to meet Mickey. I was worried at first because the line wad out the front door. But, they were stacking. Once inside the house, I was able to quickly go to the screening room and then we didn't even watch all the clips before being ushered into the barn. I actually waited longer for Minnie next door. There the line was legitimately out the door. There was a family right behind me with some really cute kids that were entertaining to watch while I waited. Next I toured Chip n Dale's Tree House, Donald's Boat and Goofy's House. The springy surfaces are hard on the knees. I looked around Downtown Toontown and had lunch at Pluto's Dog House. And that was it for Toontown. Next I headed to Fantasy Faire to catch Tangled. When I got there Aurora was out greeting guests so I got in her line. While waiting we were warned that she would be switching with Merida soon. That was disappointing since that's exactly what happened when I was waiting for Rapunzel the other day. I waited it out though and this time I made it to Aurora before the switch. After Tangled I decided to go back to my hotel for a rest. After a nap, I headed back to the park around 4. As I was entering the park, I noticed Donald and Chip n Dale gathered gathered around a little girl asleep in her stroller. They got really close and stroked her face and Donald gave her kisses. It was really precious and her mom was thrilled. Next I headed to Pirates, it was still really hot and a cool ride there was just the thing. After I stopped by the Mint Julep Bar and got beignets. While I was waiting a guy told me he'd be having beignets about 8 times on his 4 day trip. I love the beignets but there are other things too. I took my beignets and ate them near Splash. Of course, even though I was being careful, I got powdered sugar all over me. Next I did the single rider for Splash and took a turn on Pooh. I bought a Mickey Ice Cream sandwich, put it in my bag and rode on BTMRR. After, my sandwich was just right to eat. I usually try to eat them too soon. Next I exited the park just ahead of the parade and headed to World of Disney where I bought a dress I'd had my eye on. Well technically it's a dress I think but it's really to short so I'll always wear something under it. I bought it using a Visa gift card I got at work awhile ago for being employee of the month. It just about covered it. I then headed back to my hotel ahead of the post parade exodus and had left over pizza for dinner.

Originally Posted By darcy-becker Oh no, there is a meet and greet in the Royal Hall where you will meet up to three princesses and there is often another princess in the courtyard. But they also have the Royal Theater where you can see either Tangled or Beauty and the Beast. The whole area is cute and there are several interactive elements.

Originally Posted By darcy-becker They're fun. Belle, Rapunzel, and Flynn all play themselves. All the other parts are played by Mr Smith and Mr Jones. It has a very vaudville feel to it.
Originally Posted By CuriousConstance Oh that's good. Watching those shows that try and take themselves too seriously often come across boring and cheesy.
Originally Posted By Yookeroo "Are the shows good? I'm trying to decide if we should try and catch them." They are a lot of fun. Wouldn't make them a top priority, but something to do after the most important things are done..
