Meeting Disney Characters

First stop was Disneyland today. We headed straight for Space Mountain because that's one of my favorite rides. When we got there it was roped off so nobody could get in. It had broken down and the cast members didn't know when it was going to be back up again so we left and went to Fantasy Land because my sister wanted to see if she could meet some Disney Characters. Tangled, the theater version, was showing at the Fantasy Faire Royal Theater near by so I watched that. The actress that played Rapunzel was spot on! She looked, moved, spoke and sung just like the Rapunzel in the film! While we were in Fantasy Land we did a little shopping and found the salon that turns children into Disney Princesses! I've heard of this before but I've never seen it. There was two rows of Disney Princess themed salon stations along the out side walls and a row of seats in the middle. After shopping we went out to the wishing well to see if Alice and the Mad Hatter were there.No such luck! They were out doing a gig with the Disneyland Marching Band. My mom got us fast passes for the Indiana Jones ride while we watched the performance. We caught the part where they sung the Un-Birthday song at the end of their performance. Alice, the Mad Hatter and the rest of the characters that participated in the performance left on a retro firetruck.
Later that afternoon we headed back to the Indiana Jones ride to use our fast passes. They changed a lot of things in that ride. The Idol had been updated and so have a bunch of other things. After, we left for musical chairs with the Mad Hatter at the Coca-Cola Corner again. This time the Mad Hatter was a lot more enthusiastic and funny. It was a different Hatter. It was a bit of a challenge but we were able to get some photos with them as they were leaving.
My sister found out about this Long Lost Friends event online and wanted to see if some of her favorite characters was there. The event is like a mass meet and greet. They set up a few stations around Big Thunder Ranch and you can come take picture and interact with a few random characters. Lady Tremaine and the Tremaine Sisters from Cinderella were there! They aren't my favorite Disney Characters but they rarely come out and they were hilarious! My sister got them to sing, "Sing Sweet Nightingale," for her! It was so bad that it was good! Just like in the film. We got a bunch of shots with them because it was so rare to see them out and about interacting with people.
Later that evening we went through Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters. My gun must have been broken because I didn't get that great of a score. We spent the rest of the night riding Space Mountain, Autopia and shopping.
