We got up early to catch the Extra Magic Hour at Hollywood Studios. Luckily we did, because by the time we got our fastpass to the big ride - Toy Story Mania - the next available time to ride was 1:00 already!
After a quick visit with Handy Manny...(Ali hopped out of line when she heard the words "Toy Story"...Rhodes LOVES her friend, Handy Manny!!)....
We decided just to wait in line for Toy Story (estimated time was 55 minutes, I think?) in case we didn't make it to 1:00 at the park. The line was long but it moved fast and I think we ended up with about a 30 minute wait. Luckily, there were lots of fun toys, games, decorations to look out along the way....
Loving their 3-D shades...
My game partner...It was soo fun! (but, I had to shoot for Ali so we were low scorers, unlike my high scoring husband!)
(NOTE: As luck would have it, we did make it to 1:00 in the park and went back to ride the best ride in the park again!) Unfortunately (for some people), the ride was having problems and closed down for a long time! Thank goodness we waited in line and rode it early instead of waiting for our fast passes!

Thank goodness we waited in line and rode it early instead of waiting for our fast passes!We went and watched The Little Mermaid and then headed to Playhouse Disney - the girls loved it!
Then, we went to Hollywood & Dine Play N Dine. I had switched up our reservations to the less busy character meals a few times and was not super excited about this one b/c we do not watch Little Einsteins these days. The girls LOVED it though - seriously, it may have been one of their favorites. And the food was surprisingly good too! The girls got to get up and dance with the characters and got to see the Einsteins, Jojo (although I don't think we have seen her on tv since Ali was little!) and Handy Manny! (of course he was a hit!)
Rhodes got right up in the middle and was breaking it down with the characters. We do not have very good pictures to show it - but we were all dying laughing watching her be so outgoing and fun and having a blast with everyone - the girl does not meet strangers! :)
You can kind of see her little head in this one...
Big sis Ali joined too - they were having a blast!
Then, on to Honey I shrunk the Kids playset....I thought it was a neat playground - but a little scary for me - so many people, so many things to do - I did not step away from my children, for fear I would lose them and never find them again!
Sliding down a gigantic leaf!
And down some film...
It was a fun day - Ryan and I got to ride the Rock N Roller Coaster (may have been one of my favorite "scary" rides!) and Ryan and dad rode the Tower of Terror! We headed back to the hotel for some pool time and naptime...
....then went out to dinner that night at the Grand Floridan (just for a quick service meal, but it was so nice and relaxing!).

For our final night there, we went out to the grassy area between the Bay Lake and the Contemporary and watched The Incredibles on the big screen...it was nice out and very peaceful! The girls brought out their glowsticks and may have caused some scenes with them...but we had fun...
Then we went up, got our pajamas on and watched the fireworks from our skybridge one final time. Loved how they played the music that was playing at the park for fireworks (Halloween party fireworks) on the speakers - felt like we were almost actually there! :)
