Disney Day 4...Hollywood Studios

We started day 4 at Hollywood Studios.  We explored Toy Story Land, Scarlet visited Olaf while the older girls rode Tower of Terror (maybe a mistake), and Lorelai fought Kylo Ren in Jedi Training Academy.  Last time we were at Disney she fought Darth Vader, her absolute favorite character.  This year she wanted to try something different but she is genuinely afraid of Kylo Ren and got a little nervous while fighting him.  Jam-packed morning!

Little kids checking out the Slinky Dog Dash Roller Coaster.  Maybe Scarlet will be tall enough next year...













Tower of Terror Ride... Joe, Rebecca, Lorelai and Evelyn can be seen in the back row.  You may also notice the intense fear on the girls' faces as the elevator drops...



First Order March with Captain Phasma.  They got up close and personal!




Back to the hotel for a midday break.  Joseph is practicing using the "FORCE"!  He must have received quite the education this morning!





After a nap we are back at Magic Kingdom for an early dinner with Pooh and all his friends.  We rode some rides too before heading home for bed.

Just hanging out with Minnie Mouse and Roy Disney!

...and my little Mickey Mouse







Peek-a-boo Tigger!  We see you!



This picture is blurry because the girls are showing Tigger their bouncing skills!

sweet Piglet








Such a cutie.  Talking about Scarlet...not the creepy dude photo bombing in the background



Everyone was tired so we decided to head home before the fireworks to try to avoid the crazy crowd that leaves at that time.  It ended up being perfect timing!  We arrived at our hotel and had a perfect view of the fireworks from right outside our room!  They even play the music in sync with the fireworks right on the patio.  We watched the show and then had the kids straight to bed!!  Perfect, magical moment!

Disney Day 3...

Day 3 at Disney started with a much needed morning off with the plan to go to Magic Kingdom in the evening.



We had breakfast at our hotel and got to meet a few characters in the process.  Here's Evelyn enjoying some Mickey waffles!




Mary Poppins...practically perfect in every way!



The Mad Hatter was there...along with Alice.  He was very silly



Scarlet's body language says, "please leave me to my Mickey waffle in peace."

But Scarlet made time for Winnie the Pooh

Pooh bear was a big hit!



Evelyn's favorite character is Tigger.  She had to meet him dressed in her Tigger sweatshirt, Tigger ears, and show him her Tigger stuffed animal

After Elsa, Ariel is Scarlet's favorite.  She was a little shy around her but did NOT want to leave.


Even Joseph adored the little mermaid








We were all set to leave.  Where was Scarlet?  We turned around and she was getting a last minute hug.  Scarlet just did not want to leave her.  Totally in awe.  It was the sweetest moment






The infamous Captain Jack Sparrow.  He was quite the character
