Disney World! {Thursday}

Thursday was our character "meet and greet meal" with Secret Agent Oso, Handy Manny, and a couple Little Eintstein kids. After Blaine's last day of classes, we took a bus into Disneyworld Hollywood Studios and made our way to our restaurant, Hollywood and Vine.

Nona with her baby girl.

I think Chris looks so pretty in this picture.

Jake waiting for the bus.

Here we are! Secret Agent Oso!

All four of us with Handy Manny. Jake was so excited. I love the expression on his face... and the shine on mine. It was soooo hot and humid in Florida.

Check out this face. I like that when Sarah smiles, you see her bottom teeth more than her top ones.

I think that Jake really believes he is "Jake" from Jake and the Neverland Pirates.

Pretty cute.

Hollywood Studios is pretty cool. It's a lot like California Adventure in Disneyland, but bigger and with more action/stunt shows. I wish I had taken some pictures from "Lights, Motors, Action!" It was really impressive.

Anyway, here is a San Fransisco street scene.

And a New York street scene.

This is kind of a back-lit, pixelated  picture, but Jake loved playing in the fire hydrant fountain.

I looooove this picture (and the ones that follow).

It almost makes buying this stupid spray-bottle fan worth it. (I still can't believe I bought this for Jake--neither can Blaine.) Disney makes a killing on suckers like me who buy these things for their kids at $17.00 a pop. At least it kept us cool for the rest of the trip.

He was just so happy to have it.

Why are sleeping pictures of your kids at Disney so great?

This was actually my second time to Disney World. I went once in high school with my drill team when I was a Senior. I don't remember much (it was 14 years ago!), but I DO remember The Tower of Terror. Yeah, it's now in California Adventure, but in 1997 it was only here. And it was the coolest ride I had ever been on. Ever. I think we must have gone on it a dozen times.

The Aerosmith Rockin' Rollercoaster was bitchin'.

If this had been here in 1997 I think I would have died and gone to heaven.

A little more Aerosmith. And Chris.

Jake did everything with his new favorite toy from here on out.

Practicing her balance.

Someone woke up.

(We take what we can get in Disney.)

This is a little weird, but Jake would drink out of this when he was thirsty. He had a sippy-cup. He just didn't want it after he could figure this out.

I thought this was so cool. Some of the original Snow White drawings and sketches. I am a sucker for all art. And Snow White.

This one's for my mom. Cool 'eh?

At the Disney Junior Live on Stage! show. This show now features Jake and the Neverland Pirates. It's really cute.

At our hotel winding down before we took off again to Epcot (which I didn't get any pictures of). 

Anyway, I wish I had taken pictures of this little scene more than just this one time. Everyday when we would get back to our room, Jake would discover his little Mickey relaxing on his "cool bed". Sometimes Mickey would be cuddled up under Jake's star blanket, and sometimes (like this time) he's be reading Jake's Thomas book with the Thomas trains at his side. It was adorable and so cool that the maids would do this everyday.

Only at Disney. :)
