DAY 5~ Pt. 1 Hollywood Studios

On this day, I had planned for us to go to Hollywood Studios in the morning and then hit Magic Kingdom one more time before we leave! We also have two Character meals scheduled for the day. We're eating breakfast at Hollywood and Vine with the Playhouse Disney characters, which include Diego, Leo and June from Little Einsteins and Special Agent Oso.  Witten and Emmi were stoked!!!  And the food was really good too!!!
But first, we ran into Minnie Mouse!



Agent Oso

June from Little Einsteins

Handy Manny

Leo from Little Einsteins

After Breakfast, we had Fast Passes to the Toy Story ride, it was so worth all the hype!
We ran into Disney Channel Dance Party and Brock got up and danced with the crew! 
So proud!!

Again with Witten being so silly, after we got done riding a ride, we were, again, all standing around trying to decide where we wanted to go next and I get that feeling that one of my little ducklings have wondered.... so I start looking around for which one is missing, I notice it's Witten,, of course!

 I found him! 
I swear I just love this kid!

Disney Randomness

I honestly cannot remember when we took these pics but I just love all of them!

All of these are of us on the people mover!






This is Witten in line for the Buzz Lightyear Ride!



I always say that Witten is my funniest kid.  He is so funny but never means to be, and when you laugh at him, he gets his feelings hurt. This picture is just a prime example of what I'm talking about.  We were standing on a corner of two "streets" in Hollywood Studios trying to decide where we wanted to go next, and Witten announces "I'm done."  And just walks to the center of the intersection and just parks it! Sits down, right in the smack dab center of the intersection, never even worrying about the mass amount of people that were now walking around him.  It was then, Chris looked at me and said, "stay there I'm going to rent him a stroller."

Disney Day 3!


On our third day, we woke ready to eat! we had reservations at O'hanas for breakfast! We love to eat at this place, but we have never had it for breakfast.  It was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad that we did it.  The breakfast had characters there, Mickey, Pluto, Lilo and Stitch. I dont think that my kids even know who Lilo and Stitch are but they did not care at all! One of the best things about this breakfast, was that it was right there at our hotel!
Here's part of the crew, waiting to be seated!


 Blessing our breakfast! The food was to die for, I mean just look it, family style eggs and bacon, sausage, biscuits, Mickey Waffles! OH!! the Mickey Waffle, how amazing you ARE!
The boys and Stitch

Emmi had to stay close to daddy!

The boys and Lilo

Us and Pluto
Ok, so now some of the photos are out of order and I cant figure out to fix it, so just bare through it!
On our agenda for the day:  UNIVERSAL STUDIOS!

We didnt have tickets to this park yet, and boy, am I glad I waited to purchase them. Daddy bought us these special tickets that let us go straight to the line of rides! It was amazing because the park was really packed.  Universal Studios just opened the Harry Potter attraction, so people were coming out of the wood works to see it. 
I was so excited for this day mainly because Witten is obsessed with super heroes and this place celebrates super heroes the best!! 

Witten got to meet Spiderman, we also rode the 3D Spiderman ride and he loved it.  It truly is an incredible ride.  I was so proud that he rode and enjoyed it! 

Here are just some fun photos




This green giant is called The Hulk. Its probably the most intense roller coaster I've ever been on in my life.  It is ridiculously fast and lots of curves and drops.  Chris and I begged Brock to ride it all day before we got there, and when he finally set his eyes on it, I think he got a little intimidated. After us begging and begging he finally said "Ok Mom, let's get it over with"  So there we went with our extra special passes right up to the front of the line (BOO  YAHHH)
It was AWESOME!! Riding it with my two big boys, Chris and Brock! 
Brock loved it and rode 5 times total before the day was over!

More Fun Pics!




Brock AKA The Hulk


Witten AKA Your Friendly Neighborhood Spiderman

Here we go, back to bfast pics! Heres the boys with Stitch


our hotel room has a conjoining door to Mimi and Grandpas room.  Our kids thought this was the best part of our hotel! The easiest access they've ever had to Mimi and Grandpa! After we got back to our room for the day, they all walked into our door and headed straight to the door to Mimis room.  

BOOF! Sorry Mimi!


Emmi AKA Wanna be!!!

Peace Out Hommies!

Disney Day 2!!

On day 2, we woke up and couldn't get to Magic Kingdom fast enough! I had an outfit made for Emmi to wear, it was the same outfit that she wore a few years ago when we went but I just loved it so much, I had the girl make her another one. We got up that morning, got breakfast at Captain Kook's. Emmi was so excited to get her a Mickey waffle



After breakfast we walked out to catch the monorail, which I saw the perfect opportunity for a mini photo shoot.













Magic Kingdom is truly the most magical, happiest place on earth. I cry eveytime we walk down it. As soon as we entered the gates, we stood in line for 30 mins for this pic



Oh the things we do for our kids!!! Can I get a witness?

We rode all the classic rides there. We headed straight to Pirates of the Caribbean, guess who we found there.
*I'm not real sure where Witten was for this photo op.



Emmi acted so shy around all the characters, she always clung to her big brother for protection. Which i loved and appreciated how good he was with her to sit there and talk to Ariel just so his momma could get a pic of Emmi with her.

After the "pie-wit ship wide" as Witten called it, we headed over to Big Thunder Mountain, Brock and Grandpas FAVORITE RIDE!!
We had fast passes for it so we didn't have to stand in line to long. Witten was bound and determined to ride it too, so off we went. Brock, Grandpa, Witten and myself for a train ride, we'll never forget. I was petrified to ride this with Witt, I was so afraid that he would scream hysterically to get off. After all, it is extremely fast, lots of drops and sharp turns. On the contrary, he had a blast. He did scream through it all, but with joy! I knew after that ride, it was on!! There would be no stopping him.

We watched two parades while we were there. Chris told me at one point during the trip that he hopes he always remembers the way our kids faces light up when they see their favorite characters. So I promised him I would do my best to capture the moment! I always tear up when Emmi sees Cinderella.



Brock had a big moment on this trip. He rode space mountain for the first time! I was so proud of him! He was a little nervous but ultimately loved it!



And of course we rode the teacups. Emmi still talks about this ride, she calls it the "coffee cup wide"



Someday my dream will come true! I will get to be Cinderella in a parade. Well.....maybe I'll have to settle for being the Fairy Grandmother! Ha!


Peace Out Hommies
