Hollywood studios and some rest!

Wednesday, February 25th.

Nana again had reservations for us at Hollywood studios! This time the meal was a buffet AND we got special seating at the fantasmic fireworks! We woke up still not feeling100% but didn't want to back out on reservations. So, we got a later start to our day! Gracie dressed in her princess Sofia dress again so that we could meet her! It wasn't a particularly busy day at the park so that was nice, overcast but nice. We had some fun pictures as we walked in with the professional photographers. Mom had bought the pass where you can have your pictures taken throughout all the parks and after they shoot the pictures they scan your pass and you get all the shots with out needing to whip out your camera, too! Then we heading into the park. First stop in the animation area where characters are! 
Princess Sofia was worth the 30 minute wait! And Grace was very patient! Sofia helped her take if her sun bonnet, fluffed her hair, posed for pictures and showed Grace her castle! Very cute!
Next we had a fast pass to ride so we headed to the ride and needed to stop at the bathroom. Gracie had a meltdown that had me in tears. I think we just had been pushing it so hard trying to "get our $$ worth" that our days were long and busy. Not much downtime. It was especially hard for a 2 year old to convey! Sometimes, I forget she's 2 really. She's so grown up. She is So tall and keeps up with Max so well! That magic age of 2&3 can be quite challenging as they try to gain independence and test boundaries.
 I digress, we regrouped and carried on! Max, grandpa and daddy rode the Star Wars ride and then we found more characters! We played for a short while on the Honey I shrunk the kids set and then needed to eat! Our reservation had arrived with the rain! Perfect timings! We had some overcast days but this was the first rainy daytime! The rain was almost refreshing and didn't hold us back! We found some bubble guns!
 Robb, Max and Grace rode tower of terror! 
Yes! Even my Gracie rode! She was tall enough and had been turned down for a couple other rides and slides this past week so she was brave and took advantage of the ones she could go on! So brave! When they came out she said " My said get me off this ride!" Ske kept repeating her story over again! So funny! Then we kept asking who wants to go on tower if terror again? " not me, My said get me off this ride!" 
We roughed out the persistent drizzle until the end of the day to see fantasmic! However due to the inclement weather the only showed a preview! Nuts! Then we left in the rain! Fun but exhausting day!

Thursday feb 26th 

Was a day off! Yeah, God! We needed it! We hung out at the time share! Robb went out with Gracie to downtown disney. Since Robb had not been there yet! We really hadn't done much but the parks! We will need to remember that for next time! More playtime is a must! 
Robb and Grace made a frozen shirt at a cool place in downtown Disney! Awesome because if how much my girl loves her frozen princesses/songs/movie! ( thank God for YouTube!) nana and grandpa went to St. Augustine for the day and had a terrific time! One more day before we head home!!
