Polanks!: Disney's Hollywood Studios

Our next day was spent at Disney's Hollywood Studios and I think with a little better planning we could have done more there, but we had a good time anyways! I have very few pictures from that day, I think because both kids were still irritable from the previous long day. Ana was content when she was allowed to wander which was not something we were willing to let her do for obvious reasons. Ana's wandering involved frequent escapes from parental view, and because she was very disgruntled when you forced her to hold a hand, or tried to hold her she spent a lot of time in the stroller! There wasn't a ton for she and I to do there, so there was a lot of waiting involved which she tolerated pretty well actually. Greg and my little daredevil Ian went on the Tower of Terror and Star Tours together; Ian claims the Tower of Terror wasn't scary at all and has a picture to prove it. He was trying so hard to act like it was no big deal he actually looks bored in the photo! I don't know where this macho attitude has come from but it's kinda funny! Anyways, probably the neatest thing we did was the Studio Backlot Tour as Greg volunteered once again to be part of the show. He got to take part in a mini adventure movie and it was very cool! I was in charge of the video and photo taking, oh and not to mention keeping an eye on Ms. Fancy pants (strollers were not allowed and she was feisty as ever!). I did manage a video, but again, that will have to wait for another day, and one lonely photo of Greg all suited up before the action started. It was really neat and we were allowed front row seats because Greg was in the show.

So here's my Greg all suited up before he was literally soaked with water!

Here's Ian at lunch showcasing his growing collection of pins which was his very favorite activity in all of Disney World! You can see how thrilled he is at having his picture taken.

And here's Ana shortly after stealing the raspberries from my dessert plate, little stinker!

Ana passed out a little earlier that day, about 3:30 amazingly!

After spending a good long time at the Honey I Shrunk the Kids play land (absolute insanity, I was a stressball there were SO many people there!!) we headed back to the hotel before dinner and got some swimming at the pool in. Besides the pin swapping, the pool was a very close second favorite for Ian! It was pirate themed with a giant ship complete with water slides. Ana is not a water fan, but after a major amount of watching other kids run in and out of the shallow water she finally decided to join in. Whenever Greg came near she's come crying out of the water because she didn't want to go all the way in! She even hates taking a bath!

This was the day we received our "magical moment". We ordered pizza for dinner to be delivered to the room and Ian was in his glory watching cartoons on the pirate ship bed munching on slices of cheese pizza. Another cool thing we discovered shortly after getting to our new room was a family of ducks that wandered right up to our door. There was a mummy, daddy and three babies that the kids fed crackers to and as they opened the door they actually tried to come in the room! It was crazy, and I only got a single picture of one of the adults unfortunately. I think Greg got some video though, we'll have to wait and see.
