Shorter, fluffier chapter here. Just a quick note for those of you who haven't been to Disney World, or haven't been to the Prime Time Cafe restaurant in the Hollywood Studios park: The servers treat you like you're their children, and it's the 1950's. The whole restaurant is done like TV sets of kitchens from the 1950's sitcoms, and there are TVs everywhere that show clips of those shows, as well as a video of Walt Disney dedicating Disneyland from 1955.

After the Tower of Terror, they got fastpasses for the Rockin' Rollercoaster because the wait was eighty minutes.

They continued on through the park, walking to the main plaza. The Doctor had to get a picture of all four of them standing underneath the giant Mickey Mouse Sorcerer's Hat, and afterwards they stopped at a bench and looked at the map again.

"Are we going to have lunch anywhere?" Rory asked as he traced a rout around the park to certain attractions with his finger.

"Well, there appear to be plenty of restaurants..." River mused as she read through the lists of things to do in each section of the park.

Amy read through the lists of restaurants. "There's too many to pick from! How about we go to one for lunch, and one for dinner? We'll pick at random; there's too many to choose from."

So they picked two restaurants and continued on to the next set of attractions. First they went to the Magic of Disney Animation. It consisted of a short film about how animated movies are made, leading to the Animation Station, where guests could record their own voices into scenes from Disney movies, meet characters, take personality quizzes, and use digital painting tools. The Doctor was incredibly amused at the recording stations.

"THIS IS SO COOL! WE HAVE TO TRY ALL OF THE SCENES!"

There were also drawing lessons. A professional Disney animator would teach a class of about twenty people how to draw a certain character. The Ponds and the Doctor ended up going three times, and they drew Mickey, Jiminy Cricket, and Grumpy. They might have gone to more classes if the Doctor hadn't jokingly drawn River when the teacher said they'd be drawing Grumpy.

Needless to say, River was not amused and refused to talk to the Doctor for an hour.

After Magic of Animation, they went to the Voyage of the Little Mermaid show. Amy loved it, and upon exiting the theatre declared, "If I ever decide to work here, I am definitely going to be Ariel in that show."

Next they went back to the Rockin' Rollercoaster to use their fastpasses. The Doctor had to buy the picture from the ride again because, as he put it: "The faces are even funnier in this one than they were in the one from the Tower!"

By then, it was time for lunch. They walked into the Prime Time Cafe, and were taken aback at all being called "kids". They were even more shocked at the fact that the waitress scolded the Doctor for putting his elbows on the table! After that, lunch was uneventful (aside from Rory getting a sticker for "cleaning his plate") until the Doctor noticed something on the dessert menu.

"...What is a peanut butter and jelly milkshake?"

River nearly spit out her drink. "A what?"

"There is a peanut butter and jelly milkshake on the menu! It sounds strange... but it might be kind of good... I think I'll try it!"

Amy face-palmed, and River shook her head. Rory was looking at his sticker, and hadn't noticed the conversation. He was confused when the Doctor's milkshake came out.

"What is that?" he asked warily.

The Doctor beamed. "A peanut butter and jelly milkshake! And..." he grabbed the straw and tried some. "It's delicious! Anyone else want to try some?"

The Ponds all shook their head no.

After lunch, they went to ride Star Tours, and ironically, River ended up being in the seat that they use to pick someone to be a "rebel spy". She got a sticker after the ride for it, as well as her picture in the ride for a moment. In the gift shop at the exit of the ride, Amy bought a Chewbacca backpack to everyone's surprise.

"Mother, I can't believe you just bought that!" River said through her laughter. "I mean, I would have expected the Doctor to buy one, but not you!"

"Well, it was just... I don't know... kinda cute. And honestly, I forgot my bag today, and I needed something to carry our stuff in."

The Doctor heartily approved of the backpack. "IT'S SO COOL!" ...River managed to keep him from buying one too.

"So, where to next?" Amy asked once they were out of the gift shop.

River looked at the map and smiled. "How about the Great Movie Ride?"

...Yes, the peanut butter and jelly milkshake exists. Yes, actually, it is REALLY good (you don't taste the jelly mostly, just hte peanut butter), and yes, it is one of my favorite foods in Disney (or favorite foods period) so I had to put it in.

Also, Amy buying the Chewbacca backpack was inspired by my good friend SparklyPinkKitty, who is Amy and also bought one of those backpacks.

More action and plot movement in the next chapter! Until then, TTFN!
