Disney: Day 2 - Updated with Pictures!

So before I posted that I didn't have any pictures of our day at Hollywood Studies but now I do!!!! With a big THANK YOU to my father-in-law, I have some fantastic pictures and here are a few!!!!
The kids in front of the Sorcerer's Hat!
The way the bushes are tended to at Disney World amazed me all week!

The first thing we did was head to the new Toy Story Mania ride! We got there early enough that we were able to get on in about 20 minutes! When we were done with the ride we automatically got FastPasses so that we could come back and ride it again later on! I was wondering if Daniel was going to enjoy it since last year he really did not like the 3D glasses but it turns out that it was his favorite ride the whole week!!!!! :) We even found a toy at a gift shop that is a small version of the "gun" you use during the carnival games on this ride...this ride was definitely a big hit!!!!

Waiting in line...lots of neat things to see while waiting!
Grandma and Daniel waiting for the ride to start! The 3D glasses were fun!
After the ride, we went across the walkway to meet Buzz Lightyear and Woody! Daniel didn't want to go near Buzz and Woody and only got close enough to have them sign his book! :)


After that ride, we headed over to the Star Wars area to watch the Jedi Training Academy. Chris got a seat right in the front row, center but unfortunately wasn't chosen to be a Padawan in Training! He LOVED watching the whole show though! We caught him practicing the moves they showed the kids in the show later on in the day! :)
We ate at lunch at the Playhouse Disney lunch at Hollywood and Vine. The food was fantastic and the kids loved meeting characters from the Disney Channel!

Kate's favorite character was Leo! She got so excited every time he walked by!
Leo from the Little Einsteins...
June from the Little Einsteins...
Goliath from JoJo and Goliath...
JoJo!!!!
We then went to see the Playhouse Disney show which the kids loved....it included all kinds of characters from the Disney Channel shows that the boys still watch...including Handy Manny!
Then it was off to Toy Story Mania AGAIN! :) Daniel also got to ride this ride again on Friday while Chris did his Star Wars stuff!
Meeting the Incredibles....Chris was in heaven!
Kate wasn't too sure about Sorcerer Mickey...she like looking at him from a distance!

After we left Sorcerer Mickey we discovered that Frozone had made an appearance where the Incredibles were....
One of the other neat things we did was to watch the Stunt show...it was warm and crowded when we got there but we had good seats and the show was interesting! Chris and Daniel thought it was really neat watching the cars drive so fast and spin around and catch on fire...they LOVED IT!


What a fun day it was! And looking back at the pictures now just brings a smile to my face!

Hope you are having a great day!
