Today was the last day mom and Allie
would be with us and first on the agenda was Ice Cream for Breakfast!
We also grabbed some cinnamon rolls and bagels from the Quick Start
breakfast that was offered in the Ice Cream Shop. Then we were off to
Disney Hollywood Studios!
They kids were clowning in the car
(Trevor rode with my mom)
then we saw this:
Then finally we were here:
Make A Wish had rented us a jogging
stroller but I could not even push or turn it so we put it back in
the van and rented two singles (free thanks to the GKTW button). We
tried the double thing at Sea World but they kids fought the entire
time... singles were much better for us!
First we had our pictures taken in
front of the hat
After that we found Piglet, Pooh,
Tigger and Eeyore taking pictures and signing autographs...
Then we all rode Toy Story Mania and
had a blast! Addison and I rode together, Craig with Elliot, Trevor
with Allie, and mom rode alone. This ride was so much fun! I didn't
get the greatest score, but my excuse is that I had to help Addie a
lot!
Next we saw Handy Manny and Leo and
Annie from the Little Einsteins...
Elliot planted a big huge kiss!
Right after that we got to see the
Incredibles and Lotso, from Toy Story 3...
Craig and Trevor went to ride Tower of
Terror while we sat at a Hanes booth in front of Rock n Roller
Coaster and the kids decorated CD's with stickers...
After that we went to watch the new
Playhouse Disney show, which was awesome! It started with Mickey and
the host, followed by the rest of the gang...
The scene was changed (by a flip of the
page) and Handy Manny came on...
Next was the Little Einsteins...
then Jake and the Neverland Pirates...
It ended with Mickey and the gang...
The kids really loved this show!
After that we went to see The Muppets
3D, which was another big hit! Elliot was hesitant to wear the
glasses at first but after he put them on he was grabbing all the
flying things and laughing.
We ate near the Honey I Shrunk The Kids
playground. I can't remember what everyone ate, but I had the Greek
Salad and it was delicious! We played on the playground for a little
bit after that, but it was crowded and very loud.
mom and Elliot coming down the slide...
Then it was time for Mickey bars!!
After that, Mom sat with Addison and Elliot while me, Craig, Allie
and Trevor went off to ride the Rock n Roller Coaster, featuring
Aerosmith. That ride was awesome!
We then went to watch the Little
Mermaid while Craig and Trevor went back to Rock n Roller Coaster and
Tower of Terror for a second and third time! This time they were
with a group of teens that planned to make Mickey Ears (or
something?) at the camera so Craig and Trevor joined in and then
bought the photo afterwards.
Mom and I love Funnel Cakes so we
trekked all the way to the back of the park for one... it was
completely worth it!
Mom and Allie left after that and we
made our way over to Fantasmic.
By the time we got there it was already
packed so I asked a CM if there was anywhere we could go and held up
our GAC. She asked someone else and he told her to take us to the
VIP Closed Caption section!! As she walked us over there she told me
that we were getting the best seats in the place (dead center) and
that we would probably be sitting close to Steve Carell and his
family! She said he wouldn't show up until just before it started,
but we never did see him. We bought some hot dogs and cotton candy
and enjoyed the show. It was awesome and definitely a must see!! We
ALL loved it!
After Fantasmic we were ready to go,
but Trevor still had not found a souvenir that he wanted. Addison
and Elliot had decided on bubble blowers earlier in the day. Trevor
decided on this contraption that runs a string through it and makes
loops. Of course, the booths on the street only took cash and I did
not have enough left on me. The only store that sold it was back at
Rockin Rollercoaster and the crowd was pouring out of Fantasmic from
that direction. Craig decided we'd all go back to the van and sit
while he ran back in to buy the toy. He seriously ran all the whole
way and was back within 15 minutes! Trevor was happy and Craig was
breathless. We went back to the villa and everyone crashed.
Up next... Animal Kingdom and Epcot!
