Disney: Day 2: {Hollywood Studios}

We aren't ones to stay out "late" at Disney, especially with a 4 year old.  Dylan was asleep that first night by 8:15pm.  We were up and at 'em and at our first character breakfast at 8:05 the next morning!

Favorite of the day: Everything

Honorable mention: Voyage of the Little Mermaid show (he asked to watch it again so he could kiss Ariel)

Disney Junior Play -n- Dine at Hollywood & Vine!

{Handy Manny, Special Agent Oso, & June from Little Einsteins}

{Jake and the Neverland Pirates and ME!}

We felt a bit like novices this day.  We were using the new magic bands on our trip, which are basically your room key, park pass,  dining plan, fast pass, and credit card!  They are waterproof and Dylan loved wearing his, but not every spot in Disney has converted to this new technology.  So, after a bit of confusion, Jonathan went to guest relations back at the front of the park (he rocks) and got us more fast passes than are actually possible for the rest of our day!  Yippee for those "magical" Disney cast members!

We watched the Voyage of the Little Mermaid, Disney Junior Live on Stage, Lights Camera Action Stunt Show!, and went on the Studio Backlot Tour.

Disney Junior Live!

The stunt show was super cool!

Jonathan and I took turns riding Aerosmith Rock'n Roller Coaster and Jonathan also did Tower of Terror.  Dylan was too small for these rides.
We enjoyed Toy Story Mania which is the most popular ride in the park.  Wait times were two hours in November!  Thankful for our fast pass on this one!

One of my favorite pictures!  He was READY to get his book signed!

I took one for the team several times and waited in line for Dylan to meet characters.  He loved meeting characters and wanted all of them to sign his book.  He would see them from the stroller (if you have a smaller child don't forget to TAKE YOUR OWN STROLLER!) and yell, " I want them to sign my book!"  We met:

 Sophia

 Mike & Sully

 Buzz & Woody
Told Woody: "We just rode your ride and I have cowboy boots like you!"

The Incredibles

His first Mickey ice cream treat!

We were headed to the backlot tour.  Everyone needed to rest their legs and have some sit down time!  This dude was tired!

 

We had dinner at the Sci-Fi Drive-in Theatre. Disney doesn't miss a beat! 

We ended our day with the early showing of Fantasmic. We didn't stay for the while show because of a tired 4 year old! 

Beauty & the Beast float at Fantasmic!

Oh, the ears!

He was asleep in less than 4 minutes!
