Monday - Hollywood Studios & Magic Kingdom



































































Monday morning we headed out to Hollywood Studios! We at Walt Disney: One Man's Dream, which the kids found really boring, but Paul and I enjoyed it. Then we headed back to the Studio Backlot Tour and that was a lot of fun! The kids really loved all of the water stunts and the tram ride through the studio. We then came across Mike from Monster's Inc. and Alex was excited to give him a high five and get his picture with him. Lucas was pretty leary, however and wouldn't go anywhere near him! We went to Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground after that had a pretty bad scare where we thought we lost Alex! That place is neat, but there are so many little hiding spots. We spent 20 minutes looking for him and unfortuantely the staff was not very helpful. :( I don't think I've ever been so happy to see him after we finally did find him.

We took a break for lunch and then went to The Magic of Disney Animation building. While we were there the boys got to meet Mickey Mouse and the characters from the new Disney movie "Up"! I wasn't sure if Lucas would say hi to Mickey or not, but he went up to him with his arms open wide for a big hug! The boys had fun after that doing some of the computer games.


We then tried to do the Rock n' Roller Coaster. The line was really long and they don't do the parent switch on it so we went back over to the Animation Courtyard and went to the Playhouse Disney Live show. This was their favorite thing of the day! They got to see all of the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse characters, plus Handy Manny, Tigger and Pooh and the Little Einsteins. Both boys got up and danced and cheered. It was really cute!


There was still a lot to do at Hollywood Studios, but the boys were tired so we headed back to the room for some rest. We'll go back another day to finish up the attractions we missed. After a snack and a nap for Lucas, we headed to the bus stop and took the bus over to the Magic Kingdom. We had dinner at Cosmic Ray's, where we got to watch Sunny Eclipse (robotic alien) perform. Alex thought he was great! Afterwards, we rode the racecars in Tomorrowland. I don't think Alex could have been any more excited. Lucas got to ride along with me, too, and he loved it. Unfortunately we had to leave after that. We didn't realize that the park closed at 9:00 because it was Memorial Day. Took the bus back to our room and went to bed for the night. Excited about seeing Epcot tomorrow!
