Anyway, MOVING FORWARD.
Dumbo was next. We rode standby, which took us to the indoor playground. The line was short enough they weren’t handing out pagers at all, so I think we took a good half hour in there at least. My son needed to stretch his legs, and my girls had fun climbing all the things. The ride itself was lovely. I can see why it’s so popular.
After that we used our last pre-booked FPP on Peter Pan. This one is fun, but use a FPP. It’s not worth an hour wait.
Finally, it made sense to send the younger girls on Tomorrowland Speedway. This was a particular request of my 4yo (who was sorely disappointed — she couldn’t reach the pedals). DH and my mom took 4yo and 6yo, and I settled down to wait with the sleeping 1yo and the two older kids. I fiddled with my TP, booked four FPPs on Mad Tea Party, and asked the girls if they wouldn’t mind pushing the stroller so we could head over to the Liberty Square ticket office and I could pick up my MagicBand. They hated sitting still, so off we went. We refilled our popcorn bucket on the way back (when did we buy a popcorn bucket? I have no idea) and the other half of our group still hadn’t finished on the Speedway.
My mom adores the idea of skipping the line, so she was hilariously thrilled when I said I’d gotten some fastpasses. I don’t know how it happened, but before I could say anything more, I was sitting with the baby while six of my family members got in the FPP line at MTP. Two of them were people who don’t like spinny rides. Whatever. The CM let them all in.
At this point it was past 5:30, with the park closing at 6 for MNSSHP, so I told the kids we had time for one more ride. I expected to hear Space Mountain, or Seven Dwarfs, but they unanimously cheered “Barnstormer!” Uh, whatever. So I sat out with the baby again. I thought I took pictures of him climbing in the landscaping, but I can’t find them. Clearly, I have a contentious relationship with photography.
