Disney Day 3

We started our final full day dressed as Jake once again.

Then we headed to Hollywood Studios. It.was.awesome!

We rode Star Wars(twice). It was a favorite of both boys, the second time made me a little nauseous but I still had fun:)

Our own jedi/stormtrooper/something?? I don't speak the Star Wars lingo very well.

Lined up for Toy Story. We had a Fast Pass thank goodness b/c this ride, like Peter Pan at Magic Kingdom kept a 40 minute wait. Everything else was in and out in 10 minutes.

More 3D goggles

J.Ed looks like he might punch me if I take another picture.

J.Ed volunteered I volunteered J.Ed to be a part of the stunt show and it was hilarious.

We did lunch at Hollywood and Vine and it was awesome to get to sit and have a good lunch and the characters come to you.

Here R is with June from Little Einsteins

Handy Manny

Meeting Jake was very exciting for him:)

Agent Oso, he didn't know who he was but can't tell by this pic!

Here he is with the Big Guy, Mickey Mouse!

Loved some Pluto

Wreck It Ralph and I forgot her name

The Incredibles

Waiting to see Buzz and Woody. They are clearly a favorite because they had their own indoor waiting area.

We literally ran into Goofy

The whole fam with Monsters Inc. gang

Toy Story soldier, this guy was SOOO tall.

Fineus and Ferb, he didn't know them but still happy to take a pic.

That night we went to Fantasmic. it was a Vegas style light, water and firework show. It was incredible!! Do yourself a favor and bring your own glow sticks. I got these at the dollar store in packs of 10 and they were selling them there for literally 10 dollars a stick.  

I may have cried a little when she sang part of your world. It's my favorite:)

Mickey defeating the evil queen turned Dragon. Robbins looked at me and goes, "Mom, it's ok, I know Mickey is going to win." Melt my heart.

While we were there I got this picture from Nana and Pops. Apparently princess got to have her own party while we were away.

When we got back that night we went for one last swim in the pool and finally went to bed about 11.

The next day at the airport we had some last minute pics with the stars before we got on the plane.

This trip was such a blessing to our family. Getting to see your kid experience the kind of "magic" Disney has to offer is priceless. Ok, maybe not priceless since I had to save for 6 months to do this trip but...it was worth every penny saved and shoe I passed on buying to see him get sucked into something impossible like going to space on a ride, being possible. I know you don't have to go to Disney for magical experiences but it is definitely a good place to start. I missed Landry SO much, but the one on one time with Robbins was so precious. Can't wait to do the same thing with her for her 4th birthday!

Disney Day 2

We were up bright and early Saturday morning and ready to head to Magic Kingdom. After Goof bot got charged we loaded the bus and headed to the park.

We were there the week before the "Not So Scary Halloween" began so they had all the fall decorations up and it was adorable.

We were there for the welcome show which was great!

Here comes the train with all the characters.

One of my favorite views

Pirates League is the boy version of the Bippity Boppidy Boutique. Robbins chose to dress up like Jake but as soon as he sat down in the chair he shut down. He wasn't upset, he just wouldn't talk. Though unlike him, I saw a couple glimpses that first day of how overwhelming this place can be to a 4 year old.

Signing the pirate oath

Getting his tattoo

Getting his "Jake" eyebrows. P.S. Black eyebrow paint on a sweaty kid=creepy later

As soon as we walked out he was happy as a clam, I think the undivided attention was a bit much for him at first.

So this happened...my 4 year old rode Space Mountain and loved it. Well...it depends on when you ask him. One minute he was all I love it, that was so fun and then he would say well, I didn't really like when we dropped down really fast:)

This was a great moment, he loves Buzz!

This is a picture of the picture they took of us on the Buzz ride and it cracked me up. Where to begin? J.Ed and his game face, apparently he was serious about winning. Me looking like what the h*$% am I doing. And Robbins, oh Robbins, looking like a cartoon villain with his eyebrow and no wig.

The parades are one of my favorites!

Mom had to take a picture in front of the Ariel ride, she's my favorite:)

Overall I would say it a success. He had some moments but I was prepared for some full meltdowns so I was pleasantly surprised!

After some rest, we hopped on the fairy and headed over to Fort Wilderness to Mickey's Back Yard BBQ. It was SOOO fun. Think country dinner show, live music, great food and wine and beer included for moms and dads.

All he wanted from the characters was to be recognized so this was super special to get to dance with Goofy, one of his favorites.

A Will Rogers type, rope trick guy

Getting to Mickey was like finding the golden goose. Robbins literally threw himself in front of him at one point taking a charge, just to get near him!

These two were quite the pair. This trip was great for so many reasons but the biggest one being R getting some one on one time with us.

After a long but fun day we headed back to the hotel for a late night swim and to bed at 10:30! He was such a trooper and had such a great day.
