WDW 2012 {part 3}.

So, trucking through our week we spent day 4 at Hollywood Studios which quickly became G's most favorite park:)
Why can't all the kids just put their hands down, look at the camera and smile all at the same time??  This was sadly the best pic of our group.  But, memories are awesome right?!?!? 
TONS of photo ops at Hollywood studios:) 


Jedi training anyone?  Hands down, BEST costume ever!  I wish I could be Darth Vader for Halloween now, this made him much more attractive in person;) 
Baby R LOVED Star Tours!!  She was barely tall enough, they kept checking her height at each checkpoint in line just to make sure.  She was hilarious because if you know the theme song in the cartoon, "The Wonder Pets" on NickJr., she sang this through the ENTIRE ride!  I must say, the ride was so much more cool riding next to a 3yo pretending to be a Wonder Pet;)

Who doesn't love Miss Piggy?? 
One of the many restaurants we ate at, 50's Prime Time Cafe.  This is based off of an old 1950's type home environment.  You are asked to sit in the "living room" that is fashioned w/old black and white televisions and  furniture of that era.  My kids all keeping busy while we wait for our table:) 
What is hilarious is the staff!  Our waitress acted like our mother:)  She chucked all the tableware onto the table and instructed G to pass it all out then would come by every so often to make sure we were eating our veggies and such, it was a fun place to dine:)  We also got stickers at the end that said, "Member of the clean plate club".  Fun place, I'd go back:)
After lunch Mr. D took G to go ride The Rockin' Roller Coaster so my parents and I took the girls to see the Beauty and the Beast production, it was cute:) 
The Beast!! 
After we met back up we ran over to see the Fantasmic show.  It was raining (what's new?) so I ran to buy the kids some ponchos so we wouldn't be miserable sitting there since you aren't allowed to have open umbrellas during the show.   
                      The finale, if you look close you can see Mickey standing atop that big rock.
Day 5 we went back to the Magic Kingdom since our first day was so short. 
Little R loves talking about his photo, she can't believe she didn't see Tinkerbell in her hand!!  Mr. D told her that is the magic of fairies, too sweet:)  And no, of course we won't spoil how Tink made it into her hand:) 
                                                    Well, low and behold, look who we found!!
This new fairy is Periwinkle, she's the prettiest of them all I think:) 
Who's up for a little It's a Small World??  I AM!! 
What a fun little boat ride, wouldn't you agree? 
If you ask Little R what her favorite ride was, it was the big Mark Twain boat!  This big boat clearly made a lasting memory for her as she even wrote about it in a writing assignment at school:) 
How do you go to the Magic Kingdom and NOT get Mickey ears?!!?  We happened upon the shop (there is only one!!) that does the old fashioned embroidered names on the hats.  However, they are done by a hi-tech sewing machine now vs. the old school sewers that would do it back in the day that I remember:)  Baby R's hat is in the machine getting her name on the back on the left and the guy is getting Little R's all set up to get her name on hers. 

Baby R of course chose an adorable Dumbo hat and her name was done in yellow on the back:) 
And Little R chose (my favorite!!) a Cinderella hat, her name is in pink on the back:) 
And once again, the rain returned:)  Thank goodness for umbrellas!! 
I love the Halloween decor at Disney this time of year, it's so fun! 

Stay tuned, again:)  Bare with me as I have a couple more days to share still:)
