Day Six: Meeting some lovely Ladies and a spin around Tomorrowland!
I left us off with us finishing Big Thunder Mountain. We decided to take the train over to Fantasyland since I was able to grab a 4th fast pass for the Tomorrowland Speedway. So, we headed over to the train stop. The line was going down the stairs. But we got in line. I didn't really know how long it would be but I figured it would save us some steps.
While we were waiting in line, Morgan and Gwen were coming up with "rules" for the speedway...
The rules included:

I tried to soak in some of the details on the train station. We have only been on the train on other time!
We ended up on a train at 4:22. We enjoyed our ride around.
Train Symbol
I noticed the embellemn inside the car.

I do think the ride from the main street station and Fantasyland are the best sections.
We enjoyed seeing all of the sets.

We enjoyed our ride around and got off in Fantasyland.
Gwen had been asking to meet "Fancy" Minnie. So, I said there was no time like now! I am pretty sure she was posted at a 30 minute wait. So, I suggested we go into the Big Top Circus to get something to eat. Gwen was def getting Hangry. And Morgan was mad that we weren't going directly to the speedway. So, the snacks were def needed.

I thought this pipes right outside the line was a nice touch.
The Girls picked out a bag of popcorn each, Morgan got Carmel Corn and Gwen couldn't decide, so I got her the cheddar cheese variety. We grabbed a gatorade and a soda to drink and headed into line.
Pete
Apparently Pete wants to eat us!
This was our first time in here, and it was really nicely themed.

Stars
Gwen had me take a picture of her with the stars!
We got in line around 4:30 and I believe we met Daisy first right at 5:00. So, it was exactly an hour wait. Which wasn't bad, as it was inside and it was air conditioned. The girls munched on the popcorn and had some gatorade. So, that helped with there mood.
Soon enough we were in front of the line and ready to meet Daisy!

Gwen was holding her fan, and Daisy thought it was FAN-tastic!

Gwen thought it was hilarious.

After some fan fun, the girls got there picture taken with Daisy.

Daisy was great. Very interactive with girls.
Next up was Minnie! Minnie was a little more down to business. She just wanted to sign what she needed to sign and pose for a pic.
Minnie
Which was fine.
Minnie
It just wasn't super magical. But every encounter can't be magical.

After meeting with both ladies, it was FINALLY time to use our fast pass for the Tomorrowland Speedway! It was about 5:10 and our fastpass was for 5:20. Perfect timing!
We headed over there, and got in line. Morgan decided to ride by herself, as it was more than likely her last time riding.
Morgan Driving
Andy drove by himself and I went with Gwen. Gwen wanted to push the pedals herself. But that didn't really work out so great. She just wasn't tall enough or strong enough to push the pedal down.
Gwen Driving
The girls loved there ride on the speedway, as usual. And it really was one of the favorites of the trip for them. (For the adults.... not so much but whatever).
Waiting
While we were waiting to be flagged in to the unloading area, they stopped us, and put on 2 additional cars. It was kind of cool to see how they did it. The track redeeded down to be flush with the road, and they just simply drove the cars out onto the track.
ALL the more reason why, I REALLY hope they roll out new cars with the refurbishment that they are talking about doing. Those cars smell awful!
After our drive around town, we headed to the people mover. There was STILL a line! But we got in line. We didn't have anywhere to be and the girls wanted to ride. The wait wasn't too bad. And as always, the People Mover is a nice and enjoyeable ride!

What?!? The people mover isn't a thrill ride? Are you sure?
PM_Morgan
Morgan relaxing as we head into the darkness.
By now it was 5:40 and we needed to come up with a game plan for dinner and the rest of the evening.
What would we decide to do for dinner?

The rules included:
- No using our phones.
- No talking to the drivers. (assuming that it was Morgan and Gwen)
- No trying to take over for the driver.
