March 5th- Day two
We were all up and getting ready around 7:00 AM. DH made everyone breakfast of sausage and eggs.
Reya was given her Gift Bag from Mickey Mouse right before we left.
She loved it and was super excited to have received it. We were then off to Disney Studios, where we arrived around 30 minutes after opening. ((Not to bad!!))
Once we picked up our tickets from Will Call we headed right to Rock N Roller Coaster to pick up Fast Passes.
Then it was off to ride ToT !! (( My favorite ride)) When we went up to the cast member to get a child swap pass, I was shocked to find out that Reya was actually tall enough to ride it. When I measured her a month ago she was only at 38, so this was a very pleasant surprise because that meant she would be able to ride twice the amount of rides that we had expected. However I opted out of her riding ToT, I knew it would terrify her and I didnt want to start out the trip scaring her so badly that she wouldnt want to try anything else while we were there. It was only a 20 minute wait so Marsha and I took both Breanna and Valerie with us.
We got the front row,( which was a first for me) and I absolutely LOVED it! Once we were finished taking our turn we met up with DH, DBIL, and my kids by the RnRC. Since it was about time for our fast passes, they went ahead and took Breanna and Valerie to ride , while Marsha and I stayed back with Jayden and Reya.
After they were finished, Marsha and I took Breanna and Valerie back on for a second trip. This is another one of my favorite rides. The only thing I dont like about it, is that its so jerky and gives me a little head and neck ache. Once we were finished taking our Limo ride through Hollywood, it was time for the boys to use the Child Swap pass for ToT. At this time we were all feeling a little guilty because we hadnt done anything that Reya could do. She was being such a patient and sweet girl, so we decided to take her to see Beauty and the Beast, while the boys went to ride ToT.
We arrived only 10 minutes before show time, so unfortunately we didnt get the best seats. But we made due, and Reya LOVED it. Jayden slept in my arms during the entire show. I did have to have him bundled up in one of his blankets because it was REALLY cold sitting there in the shade. But it didnt even seem to phase him. And having his warm little body up to mine, warmed me a bit. I thought the show was pretty cute and I enjoyed what I could see. I just wish it would have been a little warmer.
After the show was over we met up with the boys. At this time Jayden had finally awoken from his nap and just wanted to be placed in his stroller so he could look at all the wonderful sights. (He had slept from the moment we arrived at DHS)
Valerie started complaining that her feet were hurting her, when she took her sandals off she had a huge blister on both her feet. So we had to go and find the poor girl some new shoes so she could make it through the rest of the day. Marsha ended up finding her a cute pair of black and white Mickey flip flops. As we were searching for shoes I found the softest, cutest, little Goofy for Jayden! He is absolutely in LOVE with it
. He loves to cuddle it and suck on his little nose.
By the time we were finished with our shopping we only had 45 minutes to spare before our ADRs at the Prime Time Café. Marsha and I waited over by the Big Green Dinosaur with all the kids, while we sent the boys over to Toy Story Mania to pick up FPs.
We got a little bored just sitting there waiting for DH and DBIL to return.. ((They were taking forever)) So we took the kids for a quick walk around the lake. When we were half way around, the High School Musical Show started, so we let the girls sit to watch for 5 minutes.
Valerie and Breanna also had their first Pin-trading experience with a nice cast member.
It was now 5 minutes till our ADRs and we still hadnt seen or heard anything from the boys. We made our way back to the restaurant and finally they called to say they were waiting for us there.
