Disney trip, Hollywood Studios.

During our time at Disney, we spent two days at Hollywood Studios, Monday and Thursday.  The first day we were there, I was not loving the park.  Mostly, I think I felt like the country mouse in the city without a friend to show me the ropes, ha!  All that to say, we didn't really have a plan when we got to the park, and we didn't fully understand the whole fast pass thing, so, I think it left me feeling frustrated and stressed.  However, the day was fully redeemed by the amazing Fastasmic show Monday night.  And we got another chance to enjoy the park on Thursday!  Our children completely amazed us at this park, well all the parks, really.  They rode every ride they were big enough to get on.  I told a friend I think they were just too little to know to be afraid ha!  
 Some favorite rides at Hollywood were:  Tower of Terror, Rockin' Roller Coaster, Toy Story Mania,  and Star Wars.  
 David's mom got the girls these adorable dresses for our trip.  We got the most compliments on them.  Thank you, Gigi!  
 She also got Carter this awesome shirt with several characters!
 One of my favorite, favorite pictures of our family.  
 Seeing Lightning McQueen and Mater was a huge hit with our boy!  
 I love this picture of Summer, too!
 There were several shows that we enjoyed at Hollywood Studios, too.  
 And the Mickey Mouse ice cream bars were a huge hit and mess, ha!
 Okay, so maybe Princess Jasmine didn't have to tell the girls to put their hands on their hips!  
 Here we are just before going to see Fantasmic.  This was my favorite part of the entire park.  
 Meeting Mickey! 
 Story cracks me up!  Can you see the death grip she has on David??
 The children and I loved the Star Wars ride.  David, not so much!
 Here we are just before going inside.  Tilly looks a little nervous!
 This sweet one did this at least once a day!
 We loved watching the Belle show at Hollywood!  
 While Carter and Daddy rode the Rockin' Roller Coaster, the girls and I had a rockin' photo shoot!  Love this picture!
 These two really know how to work the camera!
 Another super cool thing that happened at Hollywood, we were inside the area where you can greet characters, and we were just standing around in the foyer.  All of a sudden, Snow White came out, and she took Tilly by the hand and walked with her.  It was the sweetest thing.  Tilly was so proud!
 I honestly can't remember where this picture was taken! 
We got to meet Jake!  When Carter was a little smaller, he loved Jake.  I think he still thought it was neat to see him!
Love this!
 Here we are just before Fantasmic, the first night.  Fantasmic is the laser show at Hollywood, and we loved it!  There's lots of action, and you get to see most of the princesses at some point, so the girls loved it!  It was such a treat for us to see it twice!
 The second day back at Hollywood, we opted to wear our Team shirts again.  Once again, we got so many compliments!
 Meeting the green Army man from Toy Story!
 Love the looks of pure delight on their little faces.  
 Love the pure sweetness of this one!
 Story was too small to ride a lot of the rides at Hollywood, so she and I spent lots of time together.  She was really a trooper and didn't seem to mind.  
 Another favorite at Hollywood was the Disney Channel Rocks in the courtyard, so fun!
 Sleeping beauties!
We loved our double stroller from Kingdom Stroller Rentals, highly recommend!
 Our second day at Hollywood, we signed up Summer and Carter for Jedi training.  
 They were super excited, and it seemed to be a good idea in theory. . .
 Until this guy showed up, and it was all over!  Jedis, they are not.  Maybe next time!
 Family picture.  
 Our fab four!  It was rare that Story let me put her down for a picture.  I think the sucker was a nice distraction, and there were no characters, ha!
My love.  
 And of course we stayed for another round of Fantasmic!  Such a great show!
 After Fantasmic, the park closed, and we were not quite ready to call it a night, so we headed over to Downtown Disney.  Tinkerbell had run out of treats, so we needed to get a few more!  
Next up, Epcot!
