Hollywood Studios

Hollywood Studios (formally known as MGM Studios) was on the agenda for Thursday. The girls were excited to get back out and have more fun. We started by stopping to watch the "Voyage to the Sea" show with Ariel. It was a cute show with dancing and singing and minus when the massive Ursula comes on stage, we survived that show. From there, we moved on to get our "fast pass" for the Toy Story Mania" ride, one I would TOTALLY recommend! The girls loved it. It's 3D, so Nichole was a little skeptical after the whole "It's tough to be a bug" bit, but once she got on it and had fun, she wanted to go again, which we did later.

While Daddy went and rode some rides that Mommy didn't care about, the girls all went to watch the "American Idol Experience". They have 3 guests that were pre-casted appear before the audience to perform and then we vote with the numbers on our armrest. It was pretty fun to watch although by about the 3rd performer, the girls were ready to move on.

We caught the second half of the "block party parade" that was going around, so we stopped to watch. Nichole even got to go out and join in on the dancing fun!

Emily was so excited to see Leo and Annie from "Little Einsteins" on the Disney channel.

We had a little more time to wait on Daddy while he rode the Aerosmith rollercoaster and this is how Nichole decided she wanted to watch for him coming out of the line.

Our last stop of the evening was to get a picture with the hat and lights. It took a few minutes to get the lighting correct on the camera, but we finally got it. Both girls claimed their favorite part of this day was the Toy Story ride. It was another late night at the park, well 8 pm, but that's late when the girls are usually in bed by then! However, once we got back to the room, we were greeted by Nana who came up to visit with us for the next few days and then not too long after, G-Man, Gigi and Aunt Kylie arrived as well! The girls were super excited about this, since they knew once all these people arrived, it was finally time to see the princesses!
