Basically after our ride on Pirates was over our FP time was due on Splash Mountain. We also stopped for a snack for the kids - especially the ones that were too small to ride this attraction (a.k.a. Peter and Emma). Peter picked a giant pickle, for some reason, and we got some other fruit and snacks for Emma. First I rode with Olivia - she was a little nervous about this ride being single person wide at Disneyland vs at WDW, but was pretty excited too:

You do get some cool views of the rest of the park - including of the pirate ship:

We got a pretty good ride photo. While I found it all pretty boring, that little girl in the front seems very excited. Also, props to her dad calmly holding onto both her and a water:

Then I watched the younger kids while Judi rode with Olivia - no other pictures but they got a fun ride photo as they were in the front this time (though Judi did get soaked!)

At this point Emma had fallen asleep so Judi took Olivia and Peter onto Winnie the Pooh while I waited with Emma.
Then we headed back towards Toon Town as we were hoping to meet Mickey Mouse without too much of a wait. Along the way though we stopped to ride It's a Small World. While not everyone loves this ride, I love the history of it, what with being at the '64 World's Fair and also was excited to experience this version of it with the out-door loading system, really cool background, and also that they have added the Disney Characters into the ride - so capturing as many of them was my goal!

Once we got going Emma was pretty enthralled with it:

I was able to find Alice and White Rabbit:

Soooooo I know the addition of these characters was a bit of a controversy among the Disneyland loyalists but I have to say it was done in such a tasteful way and they really fit into the scenes they are in and are stylized versions of the characters. I really liked it and am glad we got to experience it.
Coming up next, back to Toon Town and meeting the Big Cheese himself!
