Disney Day 3 Hollywood Studios

Oh boy, this is going to be a long one......

Day 3.....

Off to find Woody and Buzz!!!

Buzz, your partner in crime is waiting for you...

He's wearing a special Tshirt for you.

Despite looking like it is night-time, it wasn't, 

just on the bus on our way to our next stop.

Seriously, Ryan is such a cheese ball.

Everyone looks so happy!!!

On our way in,

in the best cousin way possible.... hand in hand!

Hello Hollywood Studios!!!!!!
Are you ready for the Mere's Retirement Celebration?????
Ha, you don't stand a chance!

 The Dogs!!!! 

Goofy & Pluto

We were so lucky to be walking in & a slew of characters were on their way out!

We made the best of the photo opts!

As we were soaking up all the Disney love Daddy went running

 for Fast Passes, again, this time for Toy Story Mania!!!!!! 

A very cool ride.....

Run Daddy Run, get us good times.

After a lot of hugs & kisses to/from the characters,

our first stop, of course, was to check out Ariel's play!

We sat in the front row and got splashed 

when she dove into the water... so fun.

Next, off to see how long the line was for Toy Story Mania.... which was only 30 minutes.

Even though we had Fast Passes for this ride after lunch,
30 minutes was not a long wait for this ride.

So off we went!!!!

A lot to see & photo opts while in line for this ride. 

The lines inside have all games pieces to old time games that the kids have no 

idea about. It was neat and made the time go by fast while waiting!!!!!

Mitchell with his hero... Buzz Lightyear!

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!

Delaney looked so cute next to the crayon!




AND WHO STOLE BABY RYAN?????
This is a big kid not our baby!!!!!!
Cheese!!!!! Yes, you say cheese and this is
what he does! He cracks us up!

On our way in!!!

This ride is like a Mid-Way (carnival) game where you sit in a bucket with 

3D glasses and shoot at targets on different scenes to gain points, SO MUCH FUN!!!!!

When we got off the ride and who was ACROSS THE STREET?????

None other than WOODY & BUZZ!!!!

There was a wait (45 min) but Mitchell was all over it!
Who could say no to THAT?!?!?!

40 minutes later.....

This little boy's dream came true. He met his heros!

What's up Buzz!!!!

No one is cooler than ME at this moment!

The Three Amigos with The Guys!

Ok, just for blackmail for when she's older....

Delaney DEFINITELY crossed the line of 

possible sexual harassment with Woody! 

Oh my word, so many jokes can be made out of this picture,

I am not going there! LOL

But only if you could see where Erin's hand was on Buzz, even funnier!

Off to lunch at Hollywood & Vine

where we had a buffet lunch with the Disney Junior Characters.....

 Special Agent OSO

(Is it me or is this a WEIRD looking bear, 

the colors just do not go!)

Handy Manny!!!

We saw him earlier too!
Of course the twins asked, "Where are the TOOLS?"

Leo from the Little Einstein's!

Yay, someone that Ryan didn't cry to meet!

We love you Leo!!!!

So after lunch everyone wanted to go on the Star Wars ride.

Mommy said NO WAY! She almost got sick on it last year.

DD didn't want to go on either because 

Mitchell & Erin had both gotten a stuffed toy earlier, 

Erin got Hugs A Lot from Toy Story (yes it smells like strawberry)

and Mitchell got Mickey in the the magic hat.

So Delaney, Mere, Ryan and I went on a mission.

TO FIND RAPUNZEL!!!!!

After some time...........

WE FOUND HER!!!!!

Our Princess with her new fave princess!

Mission=success

Then, of course, it rained (should say down poured!)

Didn't stop the smiles from Mere & Ry!

Nor from Mommy & Laney!

We just tried to find a covered spot to wait for everyone to get off their ride.

Since the rain was putting a damper on the afternoon,

we decided that it was time to leave and head back to the Resort.

We went back to the Resort, took a nap and headed down to dinner.

Everyone is refreshed and ready to gooooooooo...

Back to the Magic Kingdom we go.....

(Mere stayed back with Ryan so he could get a good nights

sleep since we had an early morning the next day.)

Oy, look at that sky! I wonder what will happen?

Not looking too promising!

We immediately went to see if we could get on any of the Mountains... 

Splash Mt, Thunder Mt, or Space Mt!

We went to Frontier Land and we seaw empty logs going down Splash Mt.

We had no idea why. But to our surprise, when we

went to ask, we were able to get on with only a 20 minute wait....

HORRAY! 

Splash Mountain..... here we come

3 VERY excited kiddos waiting to go down....

LETS GO DOWN THIS MOUNTAIN....

Then we got on, saw The Bears, 

and were sooooo excited.

Anticipation was building for the BIG SPLASH......

2 logs before the big fall, we were 

STOPPED! Stand still for almost 30 minutes.

:( They came and we had to get off.........

The backlot tour of Splash Mountain

(that we would rather not have seen).

They did, however, give each of us a Fast Pass for any

ride in the Magic Kingdom..... Hmmmmmm?

We took the chance that Thunder Mountain (right next door to Splash)

didn't have a long wait, which it didn't! WOO HOO

AND A WAY WE GO!!!!!!

We got off Thunder Mountain knowing we have these Fast Pass Tickets

burning a hole in our pockets, where to go?????

SPACE MOUNTAIN!!!

We went through the entire Fast Pass line, almost to the very end,

 reached the height requirement bar, and    :(

Miss Erin was an inch shy of meeting the requirements to go on.....

So Meg & Erin couldn't go with us. BUMMER!

We went down without fail...

Delaney's words once we got off.. 

"That was nice but I don't want to go on again!"

Good night Day 3!

We have HAD ENOUGH of you!!!!

See ya on Day 4..........
