Frontierland

After Fantasyland, we were off to Frontierland where we had lunch at Peco's Bills (and the food was surprisingly good and inexpensive). The first ride we did was The Haunted Mansion and Noah and Rachel loved it! Kate again let me know how dark it was and that it was scary, but aside from telling me that, she didn't seem particularly bothered by it. I was glad the bigger kids really enjoyed it. After that we went over to Tom and Huck's Island and explored the caves, swinging bridges and play areas there. The kids thought it was pretty cool and enjoyed the raft ride to and from the island. There was actually a parade happening while we were on the island, so we lifted Rachel up high so she could see all the princesses and characters on the floats as they went by - So glad she got to see them because there weren't very many characters out that day! Noah, Rachel, Doug and I rode Big Thunder Mountain Railroad after that and Noah loved that one. It was pretty cool and Rachel survived, even though she thought it was going to be way scarier than it was! She said she loved it when it was all over. On to Splash Mountain after that for the log flume ride in the briar patch. Rachel said this one was her favorite ride of the day later. :) While we were riding Kate played in the Splash Mountain kids play area (nice for little ones who aren't big enough to ride). When we came out Kate had a new Donald Duck that she had picked out while she was with Grammy that was just like the one Doug had picked out when he was two! Darla said she picked that one out herself and wasn't tempted by any of the other characters.
