Disney Part 3 (Day 5 and 6)

We decided on Tuesday to go to Hollywood studios as there were many characters to see including Ariel!

Our first stop was "The Voyage of the Little Mermaid." Here we are waiting to get into the show:

We ate lunch that day at the Sci-Fi Theater! :)

Then Ellie played in the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" play area with Lola and Siri while Tod and I did the "Rock 'N Roll Roller Coaster" and "Tower of Terror"

Then of course we did the backlot tour! :) (Ellie stayed on Tod's shoulders most of the Disney trip-Thanks, Tod!)

Here we are in line making our way through props to get to the bus:

And although there were huge explosions of fire and rushes of water, Ellie and Siri loved the tour and did not show one sign of fear the entire time, much to my surprise! It was scary!!

As we were on our way out of the park (it was getting late and we were ALL tired), we saw a small line of kids forming who were waiting to get their pictures taken with characters from Monsters Inc. We couldn't resist:

And then we decided that was it! It was a long enough day and the kids were tired! Until we saw.....BUZZ AND WOODY!

Even Ellie perked up to see these guys! :)

And now we're really leaving...

The next day we were off to Animal Kingdom! From what I remember, this park was new the last time I was at Disney so we didn't spend a lot of time there and I wasn't too interested in going back there again this time. But it was actually a lot of fun and there were plenty of kid activities! Ellie and Siri love animals (as I'm sure most kids their age do) so this was all very exciting to them!

Here's Ellie waiting for the tram:

I love all the green!!

We are bugs at the bug show! :)

We found a petting zoo!

I love this one of Ellie playing "Mancala"

Poor Siri is thirsty!

The last thing we did at the Animal Kingdom was the Kilimanjaro tour:

Then it was off to Epcot again to actually go on the Nemo ride; which was awesome, by the way!

The aquarium you see after you get off the ride was quite impressive!

They also had a lot of little fish tanks with all different kinds of fish in them. :) We ate dinner in Italy that night (AMAZING food) and then stayed around to watch the fireworks show:

Goodbye Epcot!
