Very cute Princess and the Frog pictures! Great pictures from the Poly too! I am surprised to hear you didn't care for the breakfast. Most people rave about it. We've never eaten there for breakfast. The characters were cute though.

Great update. We sure looked like a motley crue...we were running around crazy trying to get everything packed and get to our breakfast. I'm glad to say the rest of the day was much more laid back. Sorry we were so rushed when we met you, but still really nice to say Hi.

I'm at home sick and decided to look on the dis for an injection of sunshine. I'm so ready for spring.

Glad you're back. The only reason we got a pictures of the two of us was because Faith was sleeping.

Love all the photopass pics you got around World Showcase!

Those nachos at Pop are amazing!

We loved the Ohana breakfast, but haven't tried dinner yet.

I can't figure out the "super" meeting...unless it's the Incredibles?

 

[smithpack]

I can't wait to see the outfits you change into because your girls are always so adorable. They have such cute outfits!! What do you do with the ones that Faith has outgrown? I will buy them off of you. Of course it will be a couple of years before my DD could wear them, she only wears 3T right now. But it will be a while before we go back.

Also, I loved the picture of the girls in front of the red poinsettia's. Beautiful!! You need to frame that one!

Hmmm, you might be pretty close.

Thanks, Most outfits are donated. I really should think about selling some but I'ts always been easier to donate and right as a tax credit.

Continuing on with our fabulous day at Hollywood Studios on day 4. We had already been to Ohanas for breakfast and had seen a few attractions at HS. Next up we went into the restrooms and came out as ......................







































THE INCREDIBLES!!!!!!!!

We wore these shirts for our 2008 MNSSHP trip. It was great fun. However, I always regreted not having taken a picture with The Incredibles in our shirts. None of really wanted to wear them all day and they were light enough to pack up especially for this too fun photo op. Right after we got in line for The Incredibles Frozone came out to take their place. So, we took our picture with Frozone and decided to wait the 30 minutes before they came back out.

While waiting the girls really wanted to get in line for the UP characters. It was a surprisingly long line, as long as Sorcerer Mickey. I personally would have chosen Sorcerer Mickey but the girls won.

We then made our way back to Frozone. Poor thing did not get many visitors. There were a handful of families waiting in the area for The Incredibles to return. Return they did and we got the great picture I was after. I was disappointed that there was not a photopass person with them.

Mrs. Incredible was so sweet and wrote long notes in the girls' signature books. It said something like, "For an Incredible Girl _________, etc." She even blew me a kiss for dressing like her.

So with the photo op we desired taken care of we changed back before heading off to more adventures.

Next we headed off to Playhouse Disney. I love this show. I'll be sad when the girls decide they are too mature for it. Heck, I'll go anyway.

We ate a quick service lunch then decided to go ahead and find a spot for the parade. There was quite a few people already sitting everywhere. Mind you it was still super hot so there was no way I was going to plant myself in the direct sun. We went ahead and followed our tried and true method of squeezing in a standing room only spot near a path. As soon as the parade starts cast members close the path and we get front row seats!

The girls both went out to dance with the CMs!

We enjoyed the parade. Although I do have to say that so far the best parade I have seen that models this "stop and put on a show at the spot" thing is by far Disneyland. They did absolutely fantastic and it was mind boggling impressive. HS parade was fun but nothing jaw dropping.

Next up we got in line for the Backlot Tour. We had never done this before. As we finally got on our bus the Motor Action show was wrapping up. We were all wishing we had chosen that show instead since we had never seen that either. From what we saw it was pretty impressive. Now we can saw we've done the Backlot Tour at HS and we can check that off our list for at least the next decade.

It was neat to see Walt Disney's plane.

Faith seems to be enjoying it!

Next we went to see the Muppets show.


The sun was beginning to go down and we stopped for a couple photo ops.

There were quite a few people sitting around waiting for the Osbourne Lights. We decided that we'd prefer to come back once the initial crowd was out. (Good choice). So, we went to use our FPs for TSM. Now that we were new experts on the ride we had to give it one more try.

YAY! Another update!! First off--LOVE the Incredibles shirts--what a cute pic you got of all of you! And I like the Up pic as well!! The Playhouse Disney Show is a favorite of mine as well! My girls really enjoy it! Oooh--smart tip on getting a good parade spot!! The Christmas Carol photo-op is adorable!! Can't wait to read more!

The Osborne Lights truly are as amazing as everyone raves. And it is truly something that must be experienced in person. We went with the intentions of maybe spending up to 30 minutes watching and ended up spending 2 marvelous hours on the Streets of America! I also think we lucked out as far as crowds. We had originally planned HS for a non Fantasmic day hoping that it would be less crowded and we could enjoy the lights. Well, Disney did end up adding Fantasmic to this night but it made it perfect for the lights. The majority of the crowd was gone watching Fantasmic. We bought some hot cocoa and popcorn and spent the first 20 minutes just sitting on a curb, eating popcorn and taking it all in.

There were definitely people there but I did not for one minute feel crowded and the girls had plenty of room to dance through the streets and reach for the fake snow. Truly magical

Suddenly you could tell Fantasmic was out because it became VERY,VERY crowded. At that point is was no longer enjoyable and we squeezed our way out being thankful we got to take it all in beforehand.


That night MVMCP fireworks and Illuminations fireworks went off at the same time. We saw it all from the Pop. It was absolutely beautiful. I couldn't get the best picture to capture it but at times there was a full panoramic view of fireworks. Perfect ending to a beautiful night!

Up Next, Final Day in MK
