Disney Pictures, Hollywood Studios

We spent a short day at Hollywood Studios because there wasn’t very much for Ella to do.  We saw several shows and rode Toy Story’s Midway Mania ride while the guys watched a stunt show.  The Toy Story ride was a 3-D game ride that was pretty neat.  We waited in line for over an hour to ride it and Ella got a little impatient…but so did her Mommy :) 

 

 

We got front row seats at the Block Party Bash!  There was no shade to be found and it was SOOO hot!!  I don’t see how the cast members wear those costumes for over an hour to do these parades! 

 

Ella was so excited because we were going back to the resort to go to the POOL!!  We were all ready for a little R&R!!

Disney Pictures, Magic Kingdom

Ella was so excited to see Cinderella’s castle at Magic Kingdom!!  We spent a HOT, LONG day at Magic Kingdom!  We got there early that morning and didn’t get back to the resort until almost 1:00 AM!!  We stayed for Wishes (the fireworks show) and the Spectromagic Parade (this was my favorite parade!).  It was a long day but it was definitely a FUN day!

 

 

 

(**I hope my ghost white legs doesn’t blind anyone…haha!!  It was still cold at home so these legs haven’t seen the sun since last summer!)

 Hot dog break!  There wasn’t a lot of tables (especially in the shade!) at Magic Kingdom so you had to find a shady spot and have a picnic :) 

I don’t know which one is DUMBO…haha?!  Ella LOVED riding Dumbo!  We waited in the 45 min to 1 hour line several times so she could ride.  She actually did really good waiting in the lines…surprising to me, because she’s not very patient any other time :)

When we went into the Disney Toontown area, there was lots for little ones to do!  The first ride we saw was this roller coaster.  I would have never imagined in a million years that Ella would want to ride it.  She saw it and immediately said she wanted to ride.  I was shocked!!  Cory and Ella rode it the first time and she got off with a smile and said she wanted to ride it again.  We waited until later in the evening and came back to let her ride it again.  She ended up riding it a total of 3 times.  She LOVED it!!  Mimi and Paw-Paw couldn’t believe how fast it actually went. 

Disney World has everything including a train!  Ella loves trains so we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to ride.

After the fireworks show, we found a place on the sidewalk to sit down and get ready for the Spectromagic parade.  Ella said it was the Christmas light parade :)  This was by far my favorite parade!!  The floats were beautiful!!
