Disney Days 3 & 4

On day 3 we headed to Hollywood Studios and then spent the evening swimming at the hotel.  The kids wanted their picture in front of Miss Piggy's fountain.  This was probably the most beautiful day of our trip.  We had great weather everyday and it was mostly around 73 degrees.

This is Eli getting into the action at the Phineas & Pherb movie set.

These were the only characters that Eli wanted to meet.  Emery & I were off waiting for the chef to prepare a gluten free pizza at Pizza Planet!

We visited the "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" play area twice that day.  Here's Em on a giant ant.  This place scared me a bit.  It was CRAWLING with kids and many areas had secret tunnels & hiding spots...it was very hard to keep tabs on your kids!  The kids loved it though.

The ice cream Mickey was a favorite!

We bought the quick service dining plan with our trip and we really enjoyed it.  On our next trip we will definitely go with the dining plan again.  The kids were able to have 1 snack a day and most of the time they chose ice cream.  I enjoyed the frozen bananas :)

Check out the chocolate faces!  This was the Backlot Tour ride and it was really cool.

We visited Disney World 10 years ago with my niece & nephew and I still remember the toy soldiers from back then.  The Toy Story ride was probably among our top 5 favorite rides.  It's a video game and super fun!  This was the only ride that we had to get a FastPass for.

We used the Magical Express service to get to and from the airport.  The return trip was SO quiet!  Everyone was worn out.  I don't think Em & Eli said one word on the 30 minute trip.

Scott & I were feeling pretty tired too!

Bye, bye Mickey!

Oh, the adventures of Eli...we were looking at the airport map trying to find a place for lunch and Eli headed straight for the fountain.  Next thing we knew, he was soaking wet!  We all had a great laugh about that one :)

Elese & Eliot were so excited to see us once we got home.  Emery is such a sweet sister.  She went right to work turning Elese into a princess.  She was recreating the whole Bippidi Boppidi Boutique experience.  She seriously repeated exactly what they said and did to her.

Emery even let Elese use the crown she got at the boutique.  Scott was Prince Charming bringing her out for all of us to see.

If you look closely, you can see the makeup!

Our Disney trip was truly magical.  We are thankful that we were able to experience this trip with Emery & Eli.  Thank you to Grandma & Granddaddy who kept the babies for us while we were gone...we are very grateful!  Our next trip will be in 4 years with Elese & Eliot and they can't wait!  In the meantime, we are hoping to try a Disney cruise.
