Day 1: New Fantasyland- Rides, Rides, Rides

After his first rollercoaster ride, Owen was ready for more rides.  Next on the list was Dumbo!  There are now TWO Dumbo rides, a circus splash pad, and a giant Big Top with a HUGE playground.  Dad and Owen rode Dumbo together.



Here is the video of his Dumbo Ride! 

Next we moved onto Winnie the Pooh which has a cute playground for the kids while you stand in line.  Unfortunately, we didn’t have a fastpass and ended up skipping the ride because patience was wearing thin.

And some video from the play area.  You could stomp the ground to make the groundhogs pop up and talk.

We detoured to get an icecream Mickey sandwich and slushies, and then checked out DUmbo’s Big Top gift shop to cool off.

Next it was onto the new Little Mermaid Ride which was VERY fun, but dark, so no pictures.  This was outside of Ariel’s Grotto.

We knew we were on borrowed time, but Owen really wanted to ride Prince Charming’s carousel.  We didn’t have to wait long (poor guy).

Dad took a panoramic shot of Fantasyland while Owen and I waited in line.

Ready to ride!


The really nice ride controller let Ryan hop the fence to ride with us!

After this ride, we wisely left the park and headed back for a nap and swim.
