Disney-day 4

Hollywood Studios. This was a great park to do last. Why? There are a lot of shows, which means you get to sit. By day four of Disney you've walked a lot, so having the opportunity to sit for longer than the 2 minute ride, is very nice! 


First on our agenda was breakfast at Hollywood and Vine. This was Disney junior characters: Handy Manny, Sophia the First, Doc McSuffins, and Jake. I debated whether or not to do this one but I'm glad we did. Emory had fun. Gavin would have loved this meal. 

Star tours was our first fast pass. I don't remember liking this one in past years but we enjoyed it enough to do it again later in the afternoon. The second time was a different "tour" so it switched things up for people who ride it multiple times!



Hollywood studios is home to "The Hollywood Tower of Terror" or the "elevator of excitement" as it is known in the Rigney family! Chase and I had high hopes for this one since Emory was willing to ride a much smaller version at the fair. The first part of the ride was a little creepy and scary in her book but she LOVED the falling part. We ended up riding that one 3 times! I'm not really sure what happen to our timid Emory!! This girl LOVES roller coasters and all things fast!! 


Beauty and the Beast is by far my favorite Disney movie so going to the live show was a must. Basically they condense the 1.5 hour movie into a 20 minute show! 


These days, if there is a show or ride devoted to Frozen you have to go. Especially if you have a 6 year girl that is obsessed with the movie. Hollywood Studios has a sing-a-long that was really cute! When we made it in and found a seat Emory said "I've seen this before!" Us: "really?! Where?!" Emory: "YouTube". :/





They have also built a Wandering Oaken's trading post near the sing a long that includes a snow playground. Emory and Chase made a few ice blocks and assembled an igloo of sorts. It was more of a wall...



Characters were everywhere and Emory had to meet all of them! 


Thursday night we went back to the Grand Floridian for another character dinner. The step sisters were suppose to be there but evidently Lucifer got out in the castle and they needed to find him! Since he was out and about the mice decided to take their place so Lucifer wouldn't find them...at least that's what we were told! I love that Disney cast members and all, are ALWAYS in character and they never miss a beat!!


Instead of going to the park to watch the fireworks we went to the boat dock at the grand Floridian and watched from there. It was nice being able to enjoy them from afar and not have to fight the crowd when they were over. Plus these were the fireworks during the Halloween party. We did not have tickets to this night and didn't watch the ones Monday night because we took advantage of the shorter lines on the rides!


Day 4: done. Only one more day left in the most magical place on earth!
