Disney Day Two

On day two of our Disney trip we woke up bright and early and the girls all went to a princess breakfast at Cinderella's castle. It was so fun because the breakfast starts before the park even opens, so we practically had the entire park to ourselves, as you can see. Great for photos of the main drag of Disney, usually this street is packed with people!


Here's Princess Elizabeth, ready to go in to the breakfast. I didn't post many pictures of the breakfast, but if you check out Laura's blog (TLEB in my sidebar) you'll see lots of pictures of her with the princesses she met. It was a little girl's dream! (sure would have been mine when I was her age!)
The beautiful mosaics (spelling??) on the inside of the castle.
Inside the breakfast waving the wand she got.
Then we met the boys at Hollywood Studios. It was a very rainy day so luckily there were lots of things to do inside. But it wasn't very fun trying to change a sopping wet boy's diaper in the ladies restroom when I was also dripping wet. Luckily we only had one day we had to do that! One great thing about the weather was it made the park practically empty! There were tons of characters to meet and sign the boys' books, and we hardly had to wait for any of them.
Here they are with Piglet and Pooh
I love this picture of Cooper with Minnie. He was SO into the characters. After the first or second meeting he was a pro and when we'd see a character he'd run over to me and ask for his book so he could get in line to meet them.
Jackson wasn't too sure of the charcters and mostly wanted to stay away from them, but for some reason he loved Minnie Mouse!
Mr. Incredible and Frozone, yeah!!!! Cooper's showing his muscles too. Pretty impressive huh? (we couldn't get J in the pictures without one of us with him)

Here's Lotso (the bad guy from Toy Story 3)
Another fav- Mickey! We actually got J into this one. He LOVES Mickey and Minnie!
We had these cute shirts made for Disney with Buzz light year on them. This was the only one I could get of the two of them in the shirts!
This was the longest character line by far-meeting Buzz and Woody! Here the boys are eyeing their idols.
Getting excited to meet Buzz!

While waiting in line they had all these things for the kids to play in. Here they are in a rocket.
AHHHHHH!!!! Getting grabbed by the claw!!!!!!

Uh oh, about to be blasted into outerspace!
Finally, getting to see Buzz and Woody.
Our trip is now complete!

There were two Toy Story rides, one here at Hollywood Studios, and one at Magic Kingdom. These two were definitely Cooper's favorite rides. We got to ride on this one a few different times. One time it even broke when we were halfway through it and we got to walk through the entire set, which was really cool! I thought the outside of the rides were so fun looking!

On one of his two favorite rides.
After Hollywood Studios we went back to Magic Kingdom for a few hours. Cooper and Ryan rode a car racing one, which he LOVED.
We ended the night riding their tea cups-such a classic ride. We rode on these when we came to Disney World when I was 5!
Another fun night. Jackson did a great job sleeping, he woke up part way through the night but then slept with me and actually slept! It worked out great and we were well-rested and ready to go the next day.

Love the picture of Cooper and Minnie. He did love the characters. I am so glad we went at this age. I'm ready to go back.
You got some great shots of deserted MK. Love those.

Yay - day two! Wouldn't love the rain but sure looks like you made the best of it anyway. Also, glad to hear that Jackson did a good job sleeping - wherever it had to be! Cooper does very well following direction in pictures... love all of the faces in line for Buzz and Woody!
