Disney's Hollywood Studios

On Saturday, we used another day from our PLAY 4 DAYS pass at Disney. That's two days down and two to go before April. We like to try to space them out ... if not to preserve the fun, then at least to preserve SOME of our sanity! I have NO idea how people visit Disney for a week straight and leave saying they had fun. We DID have fun this weekend though. We actually broke the day into two parts: did the majority of the shows in the morning, then saved a few things for the evening. In the morning, we met lots of characters, like Annie and Leo from Little Einsteins (Tyler is a huge fan!)...

It's hard to believe Tyler was ever scared of the characters, because now he goes right up and gives them big bear hugs ... like this one he gave Goliath and JoJo from JoJo's Circus.

We met Donald Duck after that ... and took a photo or two with him. But, those just don't compare to the cute shots below of the kids meeting Daisy Duck and Minnie Mouse. Don't tell Mickey, but while Daisy was signing Abby's autograph book, Tyler and Minnie shared a kiss!

Abby and Tyler were both SO into the shows this time around. They loved the Beauty and The Beast one ... And Tyler thought it was very cool to wear 3D glasses for the Muppet show...Also, the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" playground was a hit with both "little" munchkins. Don't worry - the insects aren't that big at Disney. Everything is larger so you feel smaller than an ant. Personally, I think this is a great idea! In fact, I wonder if there's a playground for adults that has larger than life objects ... therefore minimizing the actual appearance of my thighs!

When we returned to the park (after naptime at my parents' house), we hit a few rides and shows (the new Toy Story Mania ride ranked high with our kids!) then joined the masses for a trip through the Osborne Family's Spectacle of Dancing Lights Display. We held up lots of traffic to take this group photo ... so please enjoy it! :) This is how Tyler and Dennis experienced the display, as Tyler wouldn't leave his daddy's side (or shoulders as luck would have it for Dennis!) Tyler's face is pretty accurate too. Anytime we tried to relieve Dennis, Tyler would object. Oh well! It truly WAS a spectacle! The lights, that used to just stand still, now "dance" to the music every seven minutes. So cool!

After the three adventurers (Dennis, Grandan and myself) snuck away for some "big people rides" (The Aerosmith Rockin' Rollercoaster and Tower of Terror), we all took in the Fantasmic show. Tyler claims this show was his favorite ... even though he spent most of the time with his head buried in Dennis' shoulder. All in all, a great day!
