Disney - Day 3

So, after our very late night, we had to get up SUPER early for a big surprise for Reed. We got the kids up and dressed and made it out to catch the bus to Hollywood Studios. It was STORMING so we got wet but we were determined to get there. So, we were there before the parks opened for a special character breakfast.

Reed is obsessed with Little Einsteins so this was so awesome for him. Here he is with Leo or as Reed calls him 'Orange Lil Einstein'

Lilly thought he was pretty cool too.

And there is June...'purple Lil Einstein'

Reed cutting up at breakfast...this was not our table!!

Leo came back around again!

Reed made friends with our waiter

There is JoJo

About every 10 minutes the hostesses (girl in the bright clothing) and the characters would gather in the front to dance to the songs from Playhouse Disney. Reed ran up every time. They did the Little Einsteins song, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse song, Hot Dog song, etc.

Reed making more friends.

So after breakfast was over, the rain stopped and we tried to make our way around Hollywood studios. Characters were everywhere!!

Daddy had to get a pic kissing Minnie

Try explaining to a 2 year old why we had to wait in lines...UGH

So then we went to see a puppet show staring the casts of the Play House Disney...Mickey Mouse Club House....

Handy Manny....


And of course, Little Einsteins...there's Rocket!

After that, it was more characters...Here is Donald and Reed

With a little break in between...

We got to see the guys from 'Up'

There's Lightening McQueen! Reed loves race cars!

At this point, we were having melt downs and had to get back to the room to eat lunch and take naps. This is Reed at the hotel restaurant...in time out!

After nap time since the weather was still kind of yucky, we headed to Downtown Disney to have a light night...

Of course, we found a choo choo!

Taking a break...

Reed eating his really really big cookie...this is about how well he ate the whole trip! Spoiled rotten!

So, we headed back to room relatively early (we had another big morning planned) and I got some shots of the kids having fun in bed...

So, we finally all called it a night and went to bed...Big Day 4 coming....

Disney - Day 2

On the second day at Disney World we headed to Magic Kingdom for the whole day. First stop was of course to go meet Mickey.

Waiting in line to get into Toon Town.


And there they are!! Reed loved meeting the characters and here he is blowing kisses to Minnie Mouse.

Quick family pic

Lilly thought that was kinda fun...

So, right after Mickey and Minnie, Reed saw the choo choo train so there we went...

So, after some rides, we had lunch...Lilly ate her first french fry.


Here we are at the front of Main Street

So, while we were walking back down Main Street we got to watch a performance.

Then we got to watch the Shake It Move It parade...the floats have various characters on it. Once it goes through Main Street, the parade stops and all the characters and dancers dance in the streets. Then they invite everyone to dance in the streets too. Reed loved it.

No time for pictures Mom!!

And of course The Castle...or as Reed refers to it as Mickey's Castle.

Daddy and Lilly on the carousel.

Reed and mommy.

Whew...she was pooped

So after a nap back at the room, we got ready for Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom. You had to have special tickets to get in and there were various shows, parades and lots of fireworks. They had snow on Main Street and served hot chocolate and cookies all night.

The show in Tomorrow Land

The castle was lit and BEAUTIFUL!

Reed playing on Main Street while we waited for the parade.

So, after the night was over...around midnight, we headed back to our room. We were pooped. I got everything ready for the next day because we had a special breakfast planned early in the morning....on the Day 3!
