Florida – Day 3 & 4

After two very busy and fairly late nights we thought it best to take a day to stay around the condo/resort and enjoy the pools and fun that they allow. After spending the morning with everyone in the water, I scoped out the Florida mall where Dale and I had been before and I knew that they had an M&M World Store. Oh, Yeah! Did I have fun!! I should have taken my camera with me to take a picture of the cute opening to the store, and the M&M NASCAR inside, but I didn’t think I would need it – then – shame on me, I forgot to use my cell phone camera. Oh, well.

So, let’s skip to Day 4 -

On Day 4 we went to Disney’s Hollywood Studio. When the kids walked into this park they KNEW that they were at Disney. Once again the favorite for the kids was having their picture taken with the characters, and can you imagine Tyler’s excitement when Lightening McQueen and Mater were there, and Gracie’s favorites Leo and Annie from the Little Einsteins.

At Disney’s Hollywood Studio we divided up a bit so Tyler and Gracie could play a bit more at things that related to them, while Dale and I with Jeff and Joey went to things like The Studio Backlot Tour. Highlights for this day was the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, and the Spectacle of Dancing Lights where they lit up the buildings with millions of Christmas lights, playing Christmas Carols and snow falling in Florida at the end of the day. The guys of course liked the rides like Rockin’ Roller Coaster and the Tower of Terror, while Gracie and I enjoyed Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage together. Julie and Jeff were seriously going to audition for The American Idol Experience, but by the time they got there the spots were filled. Would have loved to hear my kids sing on stage!
