WDW Day 1 - Hollywood Studios

Our trip down on Saturday to visit our family went great. We only made one stop around 11:15 for gas & lunch. The girls were great the whole way, reading their Tag books, watching movies & playing games. No naps though. We got in a good visit with Uncle Richie & Aunt Bonnie, Clarissa & her family & Derek & his family. We got up Sunday morning and headed to Orlando (after I got in a 3 mile run).

The weather was great today, only sprinkled on us once. It was windy off & on but overall great.

We met Mama & Papa D, who were already there and made our way to check out the wait time for Toy Story Mania. That was 80 mins! So we just headed over to see The Voyage of the Little Mermaid. Both girls of course got scared, Bailey actually screamed at one point. Once that was over we headed to meet a few characters. We got our picture with Mr Incredible & FroZone (i think this is how you spell his name). The girls were not thrilled with this at all. Reagan did not want her picture with Mickey in his Sorcer hat but I did. So Eric & Reagan made a soundbite from the Lion King Show (well Eric did) while we waited in line. Bailey loved meeting Mickey and even gave him a kiss afterwards. Reagan didn't want to meet the characters from Up, so we just headed to eat lunch. After lunch Eric & Dad headed over for their long wait to ride Hollywood Terror while we walked around and waited for the Beauty & Beast show to start. Bailey fell asleep in my lap while we were waiting for the show to start and then woke up a few mins before crying she had to go potty. We were able to go potty & make it back with a minute to spare before the show started. Then one minute later Bailey started crying again she had to go potty. So I had to just leave with her and let Mom & Reagan enjoy the show. After the show we headed to the Star Wars ride. Only Reagan, Eric & I rode this and Reagan said that was her favorite thing from today. We got to watch some of the parade afterwards and then headed to watch the American Idol show and Bailey says this was her favorite thing from the day (she must get that from me). The American Idol show was pretty cool. We kept trying Toy Story but the line was just too long. We saw one more little show about how they made one of the Narnia movies, then we headed out of there.

We ate some dinner & got to our condo. We are now unpacked & just trying to get settled. Mainly trying to get the girls to sleep!

Looking forward to having breakfast at Cinderella's Castle tomorrow and being at Magic Kingdom. Just not looking forward to starting it off in the rain!
