After our little meeting with Quincy, we heard some loud music that we knew could only mean one thing. A parade or show. Anyone who has followed my TRs knows that our little girl just cannot pass up a parade. While it wasnt her favorite Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It parade at the Magic Kingdom, it still consisted of a large float coming down Hollywood Blvd, blasting energetic music and people dancing and singing. So we had to see what this show was all about.
You can kind of see her next to me in her Minnie Mouse polka dotted sweatshirt. By the way, doesnt the sky just look beautiful? Just a typical chilly winter day at Disney. Brrrrr.
Even though there werent any characters in the show, our little girl was still mesmerized by all of the singing and dancing. Of course she wanted to join in on the dancing in the street.
After our little show, we continued to make our way around the park, but not for long. We were soon sidetracked by some more friendly faces.
Pooh and Piglet! She was so excited because we had missed out on Piglet our last trip.
Here she is being eaten up by Pooh.
And then I guess he was using her as a hand rest? Or maybe he was just patting her head?
Either way, she loved it. Of course.
I like that even though there are some plain ugly barriers up, Disney finds a way to make them a bit more festive. Or at least tries to.
Piglet seemed to have some secret parting words for our little girl.
Then we ran over to the other end of the square and headed to see Minnie Mouse. Like our little Minnie Mouse sweatshirt wearing little girl was going to pass up the chance to see her favorite mouse, in a pink dress too!
I love this picture.
She loves Minnie Mouse, can you tell? Not like she hasnt already met her 2 other times this trip.
Showing Minnie Mouse that she is also on her sweatshirt.
And a high five to say goodbye.
We werent totally done with this little meet and greet area, though. Our little girl spotted a pin that she wanted on Minnie Mouses cast member friend.
Picking out which pin she is going to trade.
And making the transaction.
I cant remember what pin she traded for, but it was pretty much whatever pin looked good to her. She didnt really have any plan in mind. I just thought it was so cute to watch her trade. I can see how it can get addicting though.
Then we continued on our way around the park. Our little girl spotted a hat that she wanted to try on, though.
Apparently she wanted to keep the veil over her face instead. Silly girl.
We finally made our way over to
Pixar Place. We had Toy Story FP that were calling our name. That game is so fun, but I just refuse stand in the stand-by line when the waits are so long! Especially with a 3 year old. That would not be my idea of fun. So after we tired out our arms on the ride, our little girl was in a pretty good mood. She was even willing to stop by and say hi to this green fellow.
I thought that was very brave of her, because frankly, I would have been terrified of him if I were her. Who am I kidding? I am still a bit freaked out by him. I think its the weird netting/mask over their faces.
I apologize if this TR is all over the place, but its been a while so I cant remember a lot of the small details unless I have photographic evidence. When I flip back to my planner, I see that my ADR list was not updated before we left all the last minute changes. I had 1900 Park Fare written down for dinner that night, but I know we had cancelled that dinner and switched to a 2TS meal for later in the week. We werent sure if our little girl would have had fun with all the craziness of the stepsisters and the stepmother. I think my husband and I would have enjoyed it, but not so sure about our daughter. So that was placed on a list for a future trip. So anyways, my point was I also have no idea where we ate lunch this day. I know we ate somewhere in the park, I just have no idea where. I am guessing it was Pizza Planet. So sorry about that.
Moving on, we find ourselves back at the Playhouse Disney area. Who were we looking for? Big Annie again, but instead, we only found her big brother, Leo.
He was pretty happy to see the little Annie doll, though. And once again, our little girl ate it all up!
I think she would be perfectly happy just meeting characters all day.
The sun was starting to come out by this point finally. So it was warming up a bit. We could see people lining up on the street for the big parade, so walked around until we found a good spot. Let me tell you, it is much nicer to sit and wait for a parade when the sun is out and you arent sweating buckets. I thought this parade was cute, but pretty short.
I love that you can see characters that you dont normally see out and about, though. I mean, how cute is Boo?
And of course, Jessie and Bullseye. Of course after this parade, our little girl kept asking us to meet both Bullseye and Boo.
We also stopped off for some classic PP photos. Unfortunately, I think there was something on the lens so we have some extra spots on the photos.
And a fun little magic shot.
And so ends our Hollywood studios day. I think we went and checked out different resorts that evening. One of them being Coronado Springs and then having dinner at Pepper Market. You could definitely tell there was a convention of some sort there as there were people walking around with their name badges and dressed in their business casual gear. They actually seemed to outnumber the families and Disney guests there. The food court was pretty good though. I do remember that I grabbed some of the chocolate chip muffins there for breakfast the next morning. POR only had chocolate chocolate chip muffins and I like plain chocolate chip muffins. So yay!
Next: more characters in AK and Epcot
I wonder if they had found Minnie for her little fan or if she was supposed to be there already!
I would have had a really hard time deciding which picture to print too!
to my TR! Thanks for reading. EEk! I can't believe a seagull took one right form your hand! Actually, that doesn't surprise me too much, they were so aggressive that day.
I was probably yelling at the screen) I wish he was nice.
