In this chapter and in the following Disney World chapters anything that's italicized is the name of a ride, a character meet and greet place, or a world in that park.
. . .
"Look at the castle, Liv." Mia says pointing at Cinderella's castle as we stand at one of the FastPass booths they have inside the park.
Olivia giggles. "Jay Jay, can I get a balloon!" She asks, pointing at a Minnie Mouse one.
"Maybe later, Liv. Right now we have to figure out what three rides we want FastPasses for." I say, logging into the Disney account that holds our MagicBands.
"The Little Mermaid!" Liv calls out excitedly.
"Okay," I click on the Journey of The Little Mermaid. "Mia?"
"I definitely want to go on Peter Pan." She says. I roll my eyes laughing before clicking on the Peter Pan's Flight ride.
"Alright. And I want to go on Space Mountain." I press the Space Mountain ride.
"Okay, they've been downloaded into our MagicBands. Our first ride is the Journey of The Little Mermaid in ten minutes. We better start making our way over to Fantasyland."
"Alright. Come on, Liv! We're gonna go and see Ariel!" Mia says excitedly, picking her up and propping her on her waist.
"Yay! Ariel!" Olivia shouts, clapping her hands before wrapping her arms around Mia's neck.
I smile at her and walk beside Mia as we make our way to Fantasyland. We pass the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and then the little building that they hold Enchanted Tales with Belle in. Two minutes later we see Gaston posing with some kids in front of His Tavern. We continue to make our way towards the Journey of The Little Mermaid ride. By the time we get there out FastPasses are ready for use.
We walk to the side that holds the FastPass users and press our bands up to the MagicMickey which allows us FastPass entry. Olivia wiggles out of Mia's arms and runs in front of us and through Ariel's castle until she gets stopped by the FastPass line. The line starts moving by the time we catch up with her and soon enough we're getting into a Seashell and moving into Ariel's world.
"Look at Flounder!" Olivia says pointing at the fat yellow and blue fish. "Wait, no! Ariel!" She points at the red headed mermaid.
Mia and I start laughing as we watch Olivia who's looking around in awe. It may be like the fifth time she's been on this ride but she always seems to find something new to enjoy every time.
"Look Liv, there's Ursula." I say, gesturing to the purple sea witch. Olivia scrunches up her face and turns away, focusing on something else.
"Let me try," Mia says laughing. "Sebastian is over there, Liv. Do you see him?" Olivia looks up to see where Mia is pointing and nods her head fast when she spots him.
"Humph! Well then, looks like we know who she likes best." I pout.
"Oh stop being a baby, Jay. You know as well as I do that Liv doesn't like the villains."
I roll my eyes and scoff at this. "Please. Who doesn't like the villains? They're the best part! And, if I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure you weren't complaining when Peter Pan turned out to be a villain on Once Upon A Time."
"That is completely different! It's a TV show, not a children's movie. Besides, the actor who played him was hot! I couldn't help myself."
"Mmhm, okay. Whatever you say, Mia."
"Jay Jay! Mia! Be quiet!" Olivia says, scolding us for talking during the ride.
"Sorry, Liv." We both say, shutting up afterwards.
A few minutes later the ride ends and we get out of the seashell, walking towards the exit.
"Can we go meet Ariel?" Liv asks giving us her puppy dog eyes. I groan before looking at my phone to see the time.
"Yeah, I guess we can. We have some time before our FastPasses are available for Peter Pan's Flight." I say, looking at Mia for confirmation. She nods her head agreeing that we could meet Ariel.
"Yay!" Liv says before grabbing both of our hands. She starts pulling us behind her to Ariel's Grotto. Once we get there we go into the StandBy line which wasn't that long since the park had only been open for about an hour and a half. Five minutes later we're standing in front of the entry to where Ariel is sitting on a rock-like seashell bench. The little girl who's with her finishes up and then the workers let us in.
Liv rushes right up to Ariel, not scared at all. Mia and I both stand back behind the photographer, in our own little worlds as Liv talks and gets her picture taken with Ariel.
"Have a good day, Princess!" The actress calls out as we start to leave. Olivia turns back and grins at her before running to catch up with us.
"Did you see me, Jay! I was with Ariel!" Liv says excitedly, grabbing onto our hands.
"We saw, Liv." Mia says, sending the little girl a smile.
"Okay, our FastPasses are ready for Peter Pan's Flight now. Should we make our way over there or go on another ride first?"
"Peter Pan!" Liv says. "Come on! Let's go!"
I laugh at this, so does Mia.
"I'm all for it, Liv!" Mia says excitedly.
I groan, rolling my eyes at this. "Great, now I have two Peter Pan lovers."
"Oh shut up, Jay. You know you love us." Mia says teasingly.
"I'm not so sure about that anymore," I laugh.
"Whatever, we don't need you." Mia says, before running ahead with Olivia to the Peter Pan ride. I chuckle and follow after them.
. . .
We arrive at Peter Pan's Flight and press our MagicBands up to the MagicMickey.
"You're all good to go," the lady who was running the FastPass entrance says.
Mia and Olivia both run to catch up with the FastPass line which wasn't that long either. Right when I caught up to them it was time to get on the ride.
"The little one needs to be in the middle," one of the ride workers says to us. I nod and get in first, then Liv, and then finally Mia. The bar is pushed down onto our laps and soon enough we're being brought up into the air by the magical flying ship.
As we fly we see the lights of London and then soon enough we're up in Neverland with Peter Pan. Mia and Olivia are both pointing at a million different things it's hard to keep up. We fly past Tiger Lily and the Indian Chief before flying over Mermaid Lagoon. We're then face-to-face with Skull Rock before we turn and see Wendy being forced to jump off of Captain Hook's ship.
We then come to see Peter Pan and Captain Hook sword fighting and then Captain Hook trying to be eaten by Tick-Tock the Crocodile. By the end of the ride we see Peter Pan flying the magical ship back to London with Wendy, John, and Michael all safe. I turn to look at Olivia and Mia and see that they both have wide smiles on their faces. Mia's is probably from seeing Peter Pan the entire time and Liv's is definitely from seeing Captain Hook(the villain) almost get eaten.
We're then brought back down and the bar that's sat over our laps is brought up. Mia gets out and then helps Liv down. I get down next and take hold of Liv's hand.
"If we see Peter Pan we're stopping and getting a picture," Mia straight out tells me.
"Alright then, princess." I say jokingly. "Whatever you want. But right now I want something to eat. How does a Mickey Pretzel sound, Liv?"
"Yummy!" She answers, nodding her head.
"Okay. So Mia you can go wait over there in line," I say nodding over where Peter is standing taking pictures and autographs. "I'll take Liv to get us all pretzels."
"Okay, sounds good." Mia says before walking over to go wait in the line to meet Peter Pan.
I take Liv's hand and we walk for a few minutes before finding a snack stand that had the Mickey Pretzels.
"What can I get for you?" The man behind the snack stand asks.
"Three Mickey Pretzels."
"That'll be $7.00." I hand him a ten dollar bill and he gives me three ones back before handing over the three pretzels.
"Have a good rest of your day," he says.
I nod at him and we walk away. I hand Liv her pretzel and then put mine and Mia's in one of my hands. I take Liv's free hand into mine and we walk towards the Neverland Map where Peter's meet and greet was being held. Once we got there Mia was finishing up her turn. She walked over to us once it was done and took one of the pretzels from my hand.
"Thanks," she said, taking a bite out of her pretzel.
"Let's start walking to Space Mountain. It'll be time for our FastPasses by the time we get over there." I say. Mia nods and takes another bite of her pretzel. I take a bite out of mine. We all turn and start walking to Tomorrowland.
