When the girls were done with Adventure and the last recent ride Indiana Jones Adventure: Temple of the Forbidden Eye, they went to New Orleans Square first and once they were there, they all decided to go to only the two rides in that division, which are the swashbuckling Pirates of the Caribbean ride and the spooky Haunted Mansion ride, until they were done at 1:00 PM.
1:00 PM
After they finished the rides in the New Orleans Square division, Sage, Mal and their friends then went to the final division of the Disneyland park, Critter Country.
"We like to admit it, that Pirates of the Caribbean ride was swashbuckling. Good thing Jack Sparrow was there at the ride too.", admitted Astra, Gemma, Adora and Tessa.
Jordan and Lonnie also informs, "Yes, but did you know, they're making a fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film next year, Dead Men Tell No Tales.", since this story (and my other JT/EAH story), takes place in summer 2016.
"That must be exciting. Maybe in the next summer trip next year, we would meet some other friends, like that teenage boy Mal teleported in Ohio and back, and we would have the best vacation we've ever had.", said Piper and Clover, the two embracing.
Sage agrees, "Seems like an impressive little foreshadow for next summer. Cartoons are sometimes immortal, huh?"
"Yeah, for some, like the amazing Disney mascots for example. Their cartoons are like 50 years old, to say the least.", said Mal, smiling, before she and the starling said to their friends, "Now, we've arrived here in Critter Country. However, there are only two last rides we're gonna go on before we leave to go to Downtown Disney for the rest of the afternoon."
Libby, Leona, Jane and Evie ask, "So, which one of those two are we going on first?"
"We're thinking...Splash Mountain!", suggested the two main girls. "The second-to-last ride we're gonna take for Disneyland park. Then tomorrow, it's Disney California Adventure Park where there are more rides we can go on."
Scarlet and Vega loved this idea, "That's a great idea."
"But, is it okay if me, Clover and Jordan can go with you on the ride while the other take the next ride vehicles?", Piper asked Sage and Mal.
Clover says to the meditative starling, "Oh, sweetie, of course you, me and Jordan can come!", swirling around with Piper and embracing, inhaling a bit. "I can almost smell chlorine fresh water.", the DJ starling said, exhaling.
"Well, I can almost smell nature and other majestic aromas.", Piper flirted with Clover.
The purple starling replies, "Well, what can I say? I sometimes have some beats for romantic love song stories.", flirting to Piper too.
"Save the love for later, and let's get to Splash Mountain.", Jordan cuts to the chase again.
Sage thanks, "Thanks. Let's go!", as she, Mal and the other girls go to Splash Mountain, across the queue and using their Fast Passes, and on the loading station, Sage, Mal, Libby, Leona, Piper, Clover and Jordan this time take the first log ride vehicle, while Scarlet, Vega, Evie, Cassie, Audrey, Freddie and Lonnie wait to take the second log ride vehicle, and Jane, Ally, Astra, Gemma, Adora and Tessa wait to take the third log ride vehicle.
The first log ride vehicle for the first seven girls of the twenty's ride starts as the girls see a few safety signs before the log goes up a lift, like the roller coasters but it's a water coaster.
"Prepare to make a splash, everyone!", Sage and Mal readies before the log ride vehicle reaches the top of the lift, and makes a slight splash. "Huh. We were expecting more for this first part.", the two wondered, before the seven riders look to their right and see a big mountainous drop they're gonna take later in the ride.
Libby and Leona wows, "Whoa. No wonder they called this Splash Mountain."
"No kidding. It's big.", commented Piper, Clover and Jordan, looking at the big mountain.
Sage and Mal worry a bit, but were okay, "That's a big drop. Similar to those of roller coasters, though. Don't worry, girls...this is gonna be a bumpy water ride, that's gonna be a splash of a ride! Although we still do love Disney.", as the log ride vehicle goes in the next part and started going up higher.
"Somehow this feels like a roller coaster.", unsured Piper to Clover.
Clover cares for Piper, "It does. But I'll protect you from anything dangerous.", making the meditative starling blush, as the log reaches the top of the higher lift again and outdoors again, before the seven girls see the iconic Song of the South animated characters B'rer Rabbit, B'rer Fox and B'rer Bear for a couple minutes as the log ride vehicle was drifting along the course.
"Three brother animals? Where have I seen this before?", Sage and Mal ask, before the log ride vehicle turns left a bit for the seven girls to see a big drop (unlike the next one soon in the ride) ahead. "But we have seen that drop!", the two said as the seven girls were shocked and startled by the inevitable drop they're gonna ride, before the seven girls scream as the ride vehicle drops, splashing the seven with water a bit.
Jordan spits out some water that was splashed, asking, "How long is this ride going to take? Because my hair is starting to get too wet."
"Only five more minutes, don't you worry about a thing.", Sage, Libby and Leona answer her as the log once again goes in, the girls seeing dozens of happy and singing animals, the seven loving the song they're singing. "Oh, this song is super starry!", said Sage at the time, as the seven see the three brothers and a couple more singing animals, the ride speeding before slowing down again, as the riders see B'rer Bear's behind.
Sage and Mal then said, "Okay, this is so maybe gross, and- WHOA!", as the seven riders once again drop a bit in the darkness, splashing more water on the seven girls. "Taht was scary for a second there, we thought it was gonna turn or something."
"Didn't see that coming.", Piper and Clover said as the two were hugging at the times the log ride vehicle had dropped two times during the ride. "But we're safe.", the two starlings continue as the riders then saw several beehives glowing in the dark, before the ride goes to another area where there is neon fluorescent mushrooms and colourful glowing fountains."
Mal recounts, "That reminds us Auradonians. Again, that would've been way cooler in our Neon Lights Ball."
"Yeah. This is cool.", Sage said to Mal, before seeing several more animals singing, the lavender starling then added, "And also both magical and music to our ears.", just as she gasps afterwards with the other six riders, seeing B'rer Rabbit captured by B'rer Fox, and the riders then saw a few more animals, with one group warned of the Laughing Place, as that place is dangerous and scary.
Libby and Leona then said to their friends about this part, "Okay...this is getting stranger and scarier all of a sudden...", before the seven riders' log starts to go up the final lift where the big drop they're gonna ride down on.
"This is the big one...", Piper, Clover and Jordan gulp, preparing for the momentous inevitable, seeing two vulture animals overhead scaring the girls a bit about the Laughing Place, the ride vehicle continuing to go up the final lift.
After seeing a scary part with B'rer Fox and B'rer Rabbit, Sage then shivers a bit, starting a Disney reference, "Okay, that's scary. And Mal, we're about to go down a huge drop."
"Yeah.", says the daughter of Maleficent.
"Big splash at the bottom?"
"Most likely."
"...Bring it on.", referenced Sage, the log ride vehicle reaching the top. "Now hold on to your seats, because we're gonna have a SPLAAAAAAAAASH!", she preps and then yelled as she and the girls then either scream or cheer as the log ride vehicle goes down the final big drop, through a not-so-long tunnel as the final drop soaked water on the girls.
As the ride was continuing to reach it's conclusion a few moments after the drop, Sage, Mal, Libby and Leona rate and plan, "Wow! What a drop! That reminds us; we should go to the swimming pool at the hotel later on once we're done with Disneyland Park and Downtown Disney for today and before we go to Disney's California Adventure in the resort."
"Great idea. Can't wait to think of all the fun we'll have altogether for this resort.", agrees Piper, Jordan and Clover, as the log ride vehicle then goes into the next area where a celebrated finale was shown, along with showing the two B'rers Fox and Bear's defeats, and the safe B'rer Rabbit, as most of the animals sang Zip A Dee Doo Dah, the ride ending as the log ride vehicle once again reaches the loading station again.
Leaving the log ride vehicle and waiting for their friends for about five minutes, the twenty altogether leave the ride to go to the final ride of the park they're going to, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
"The ride was so thrilling and it made us soaking wet.", commented Audrey to her friends.
Scarlet and Vega agree, "Yeah, it was fun. Splash Mountain was one of the most thrilling rides in this part of the resort we've ever went to."
"Looks like the last ride we're going to is The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.", guesses Libby and Evie.
Leona and Jane nod, "It is. But to be honest, this would actually be the cutest ride ever!"
"Agreed. This ride will be exciting, cute and the best for last in this first park of the resort.", said Sage and Mal, the twenty reaching the Winnie the Pooh ride.
1:20 PM
Once there, like the other rides, the girls use Fast Passes and once on the ride vehicles, Sage, Mal, Libby, Evie, Leona and Jane took the first ride vehicle, while Scarlet, Vega, Audrey, Freddie, Astra, Cassie and Jane, and Piper, Jordan, Clover, Lonnie, Gemma, Adora and Tessa take the second and third ride vehicles respectively afterwards.
Like some of the past rides, the former ride vehicle starts the attraction off, as Sage, Mal, Libby, Evie, Leona and Jane saw the events of Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day with a sunny and lovely background of the Hundred Acre Wood, after seeing a few flaps of bushes and leaves, the events showing Pooh floating with a balloon with Eeyore, Gopher and Piglet nearby, Gopher greeting Happy Windsday and the latter holding onto a wind-spinning broom, as well as Roo holding the scarf so she won't get blown away by the wind with her mother Kanga's help.
"Wow! This ride is more magical and cute than we've imagined it to be, in the Hundred Acre Wood.", Sage and Mal comment.
Leona and Jane agrees shortly, "Point taken."
"And blustery is about to get rainy!", said Libby and Evie, pointing to the next section of the ride as the riders see Owl floating on his rocking chair, Tigger about to save Piglet, and Pooh with his head stuck in his honey pot, floating in the water. The song The Rain Rain Rain Came Down Down Down was also heard in this rainy part of the section, while the six riders also saw Eeyore helping Kanga, Roo and Rabbit, the latter three on a umbrella with Eeyore on a floating part of a small house.
Sage cherished the ride so far, "It is starting to get so cute right now, Winnie the Pooh might be one of our favourite characters."
"We've seen cuter.", Mal jokes, both Sage and Mal giggling with fun, as the ride vehicle shows Tigger for a few moments. "And I think that cuter is Tigger! And Winnie the Pooh too.", Mal and Sage both said, the other four friends agreeing.
The next part then shows Pooh's home during a dark and stormy night, as the riders saw Winnie the Pooh drifting off to sleep, before a moment later it shows a image of Pooh floating in a dark dreamscape, with Tigger's words echoing about bewaring of the Heffalumps and Woozles, and that they steal honey from Pooh.
"Heffalumps and woozles? Sounds imaginative, but that doesn't sound well.", Libby and Leona asks and uneases.
Evie and Jane correct, "You two mean elephants and weasels."
"Good times with Disney references. Good times.", Sage and Mal sigh happily, before the two, and the other four riders see a bizarre and wacky displays of Pooh's dream of the Heffalumps and Woozles. "Okay, this is bizarre for a bit.", the two said.
Libby and Evie add, "No wonder Heffalumps and Woozles love honey so much.", seeing the honey-designed decorations of Pooh's dream.
"Yeah, and no wonder Winnie the Pooh is a star!", said Leona and Jane, going to the next area.
After seeing Pooh eating a lot of honey in the near end of his dream, we see a mix of Heffalumps and Woozles wall display, as the riders hear Piglet's voice waking Pooh up.
"Guess Pooh's dream is finally over.", guesses Sage and Mal, the riders then seeing the climatic finale, showing that Pooh is celebrating his birthday with Piglet, Rabbit, Tigger, Owl and Eeyore. "It's Pooh's birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, POOH!", the two, as well as the other four friends yell in cheer, before the ride vehicle goes through the finale flaps showing lots of honey and presents from his friends Owl, Rabbit, Eeyore, Tigger and Piglet that celebrates Pooh's birthday, ending the ride. "And there we have it. The final ride for Disneyland Park before California Adventure tomorrow.", Sage and Mal then both announce, the four other friends cheering.
One minute and fifteen seconds later, they waited for the other two ride vehicles with the rest of their friends, which reunite all together, and it was time for the starlings and descendants to leave the first park of the two for today, to Downtown Disney.
1:30 PM
When Sage, Mal and the other eighteen exit through the entrance and are walking their way to Downtown Disney, Scarlet and Vega said, "Where are we gonna go now for this afternoon?", the two embracing as they and their friends were walking.
"For the rest of this afternoon, we're gonna go to Downtown Disney for a few hours before we go back to the hotel. We can go to a few stores, and there's also an IMAX and 3D theatre!", planned Mal and Sage, as the girls shortly arrived at Downtown Disney. "And whoa. This place is so fabulous. And convenient too.", the two then said.
Libby and Evie agree, "Yep. It's like an outlet outdoor mall."
"Love the expansion. Maybe this Downtown Disney has everything.", Audrey and Freddie expect.
Piper, Clover, Jordan and Lonnie then said, "There's only way to find out."
"We shall go around for a while and afterwards, we should watch a few movies at the theatre before dinnertime.", sorts Sage and Mal.
Astra, Gemma, Adora and Tessa hope, "If there's an awesome sports or fashion stores here, we are stoked."
"There are.", answered Cassie and Ally, which then excites Astra, Gemma, Adora and Tessa immediately.
Sage and Mal anticipate, "Like what we said, let's have a shopping celebration spree!", as the twenty cheer before they start going around Downtown Disney.
