Hollywood Studios

On Friday we went to Hollywood Studios. Since we were up so late the night before it took us a little longer to get going Friday morning so by the time we arrived this placed was pretty packed and busy. One reason was because it was the opening weekend for ghe Star Wars tours/rides.

This storm tropper welcomed us into the park.

Just to give you an idea how busy it was, we went over to get a FastPass for the Toy Story Mania and even though it was only 10:00 in the morning the next FastPass time was for 5:00pm.  So we just decided to focus on other things the kids would really enjoy.....

We met the Little Einsteins.....the kids were excited about this. This was Austin's favorite show when he was 2-3 years old and it is now one of Mikayla's favorite shows.

We also found Minnie Mouse

And then it was time for the show:

I had been waiting for this show all week anticipating Austin's excitement. One of his favorite Disney cartoons is Jake and the Neverland Pirates.....and he kept asking if we would get to see Jake the whole week long to which we responded "maybe".....

The show focused and getting things ready for Minnie's Suprise birthday party and so we had short live episodes from
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

Handy Manny

Little Einsteins

and then Jake and the Neverland Pirates.

Austin was super happy!! It was fun watching the kids singing with all the theme songs. They had bubbles fall from the ceiling as well as Gold Doubloons.

After the show it was time for lunch.

When we walked in the door the Little Einstein's characters June and Leo were dancing with the kids. Austin and Mikayla went right over to join in the fun. While June was dancing Mikayla kept tapping her on the skirt trying to get her individual attention.

Mikayla got her own personal time with June shortly later as all the characters come around the room to eat table while you are eating lunch.

After lunch we did a little souveneir shopping and then headed over to see Beauty and the Beast Live On Stage.

And like everything else we had seen at DisneyWorld.....it was a spectacular show!!

After the show it was pretty obvious that the kids were getting pretty worn out from 4 non-stop days of fun. There was a lot of walking, waiting, and hot sunny days.

Thank goodness for strollers.....they were lifesavors.

And thank goodness for Grandpa who was willing to push Mikayla around. Everytime someone else tried to push her she would cry and say "No! I want Papa Choo to push!"

It was a GREAT vacation.......WE LOVE DISNEYWORLD!!!
