There's not a whole bunch o' stuff in Critter Country, but not to worry, people - it's quality all the way!
- Splash Mountain: I may have mentioned our love for Splash Mountain? Perhaps? Best ride in the park, in my opinion. If you don't sit up front, you won't get too wet. (Unless you're Maya. In which case, you'll get soaked no matter where you sit.) The songs are infectious, the sights will make you grin and the drops (yes, dropS, plural!) are exciting - especially that last plunge. You have to be 40 inches to ride, so Masey just missed the cutoff. If you have little ones in your party, you can do a "baby swap" (everyone stands in line - someone stays behind with the baby while the rest of the party rides, and you swap when they get back) or you can partake of the other goodies Critter Country has to offer. Such as...
- The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh: This is a classic Disneyland indoor track ride that takes you through a day (and night - a fun dream sequence!) with Pooh. There's not much to any of these track rides, but I adore them and the kids like 'em, too. And the line is almost always short. After you've done that you might want to...
- Meet Pooh & Friends: Pooh, Eyore and Tigger were out greeting guests in Critter Country every day we were there. The lines were a bit long, but it's a good way to kill some time while the rest of your group rides Splash Mountain. Or if greeting Pooh isn't up your alley, maybe you'd rather grab a treat at...
- Pooh Corner: This gift shop is full of Pooh memorabilia + all of the other Disney goodies you can find throughout the park, but the real draw is the candy and bakery counter. (Thanks to those who tipped me off to that!) I wanted one of everything. Must do's? A Tigger tail, for one. That would be marshmallows on a stick, dipped in caramel and covered in orange cream. Holy guacamole! That's goodness. I also enjoyed my Mickey-shaped turtle. Next time, I'm getting a Mickey krispie treat, complete with chocolate dipped ears. Oh my goodness, oh my goodness.
Bottom line? Don't miss Critter Country! If you don't sing Zippity Doo Dah, your vacation is null and void.
(In my humble opinion, of course.)

I LOVED Splash Mountain -- wasn't sure I would but I did. And those Tigger tails? Oh, my. I thought my mouth was going to die of happiness. Good stuff!
hey natalie, i ventured over here because we head off for disneyland in a couple of weeks. we've been a few times before but its been over 3 years since the last time! i have a question about the baby swap: okay, so when its the persons turn to ride that was holding the baby, do they just swap out with one person and get to ride the ride with everyone else or does that person have to get on the ride alone while everyone else gets off. does that makes sense? just comment back on my blog when you get a minute. i appreciate it:)
