Buzz Lightyear, Seven Dwarfs, Dumbo, Columbia Harbor House

First up is Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin! While you are in line, Buzz Lightyear gives you instructions and even says "To Infinity and Beyond". There is something that sounds like an alarm,but don't be scared, it wasn't too loud. It's very colorful in there and the colors made me very happy. We get in a ride vehicle with blasters!! Then you travel into a dark area and then a room with two big robots. There are badges you can shoot with the blasters that have a Z for Zurg. You want to shoot those, because they give you points. (Tip: if someone else wins, don't cry, because it will only make you more sad.) The creatures in here are kind of weird looking, but don't be afraid, they are not real and it is just a game. There are bright colors and some darkness through the whole ride but it's not scary. There is a room where it looks like you are in space. At the end, you have to defeat Zurg. You pass by the funny green aliens from Pizza Planet and Zurg is in the claw!! You get to see Buzz again and there is a board that has your rank based on how many points you got. This ride is awesome!!
Next up is Seven Dwarf's Mine Train. When we got in line there was a gem game, but we didn't play, because we went through the Fast Pass+ line. There are barrels you can spin that put lights on the ceiling. You go into the mine and get on the train. You go out of the mine and up a hill, after that you go super fast down and around a bunch of curves. You go into another mine where the Seven Dwarfs are mining gems and singing songs. They look so sparkly, the colors are pretty they made me happy. The clock rings and it's time for the Dwarfs to go home, we see their shadows as they leave. We leave the mine and we go down and around a curve very fast and then onto a bridge.You get to see the Dwarf's house, you even get to see inside the window where they are dancing with Snow White. But watch out Snow White, the Evil Queen is in disguise  outside the door and wants to poison you with a poisonous apple! Then the ride is over. The ride is amazing!
Now for Dumbo! You go into a big circus tent and get into a flying elephant. You buckle in and you fly around then up and down. You get to control the up and down if your parent says you can. You fly over a pretty fountain. I got to ride by myself. (Tip: don't make the elephant go up too fast and too hard because it will stop the ride and they will have to restart) At least that's what happened to me. I love this ride! It didn't make my tummy feel bad, and it's not scary.
Columbia Harbor House was a cool restaurant we ate there twice. I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich kids meal with yogurt and chocolate milk. It was my second favorite restaurant. (Chef Mickey's was my first favorite.)

Note from Mom: Columbia Harbor House is a wonderful counter service restaurant that serves seafood but also has chicken nuggets, salads and a variety of kid's meal choices. The prices are very reasonable and the food is delicious. The portion sizes are quite large. I ordered the 8pc chicken nuggets with broccoli and was able to feed myself and my little one and still wound up giving some of the food to my husband to finish. I recommend this great restaurant in Liberty Square in the Magic Kingdom. Check it out :)

Aladdin, Enchanted Tiki Room and Splash Mountain

While my brother was getting his pirate makeover, I went with my Nan, my baby sister and my cousin on The Magic Carpets of Aladdin. On this ride, you get in a magic carpet and you go up and down and around a magic lamp. There is a golden camel on the side and it spits water over you! This ride was amazing and fun. This is a good ride for little ones. It didn't hurt my tummy and I wasn't scared at all. 

My Nan also took me, the baby and my cousin to Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room. As you are going into a tall building you see a pretty waterfall. The waterfall opens up and shows us a statue with birds on top. The birds talk! They are cousins and they are funny. They tell us when its time to go in for the show. You go into a room with benches and sit down. Jose' welcomes you to the show. Then more birds join him and start talking. They are in the room above us. They sing about the "Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Tiki Room". Then there are beautiful birds singing in the sky. All in all it was a very good show. The baby loved it and so did I. The music made me dance. 

Next up is Splash Mountain. We hurried to Splash Mountain, there was almost no line. We got into a log boat and went through a cave. You go up a hill and you might think that you will be going down a waterfall, but you don't. You get splashed when you get to the top. You go around and you go uphill again, then a little down and you get a little more splashed. You go around and see Brer Rabbit's garden and clothes on a line. Then you go down a more steep drop. Another splash. You go into a cave and see many animals  in different scenes. There is lovely music playing. You go through and see Brer Rabbit and his silliness. You start going uphill and toward a bright light. You go pretty high and then you go down the big drop really fast and get super splashed! Finally you ride around on the river and through another cave with a big show boat with animals. Then there was a few more scenes and  you exit the ride.
I was fine on the ride and I did not get sick. The music was nice, not loud and there were animals capturing each other which made me laugh. The colors were pretty and they made me feel happy. The big drop felt a little bit scary but not too bad, I actually liked it. 
In my next blog I will cover Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin,
Dumbo, Seven Dwarf's Mine Train and Columbia Harbor House restaurant.
