Day 2 - Disney Studios!

We started the day a little later and with the adults at the Rock n' Roller Coaster which is one of the greatest rides at Disney. Seriously. The only problem with it is that it is WAY too short. But other than that - it's fantastic. 

While we were riding the big roller coaster, Uncle Travis and Alice were riding Toy Story Mania. This is a shooting ride where you ride in bucket type seats wearing 3D glasses and shoot at things. According to Travis, Alice liked it! We forgot to hand him her headphones so he rode with his hands over her ears so she could shoot. He is such a good Uncle. 

I mean, seriously, how cute are they?!

After our first rides, the boys had FP to the Tower of Terror. The girls opted out because sometimes you don't want to be dropped that close to breakfast.

For lunch, we had reservations at Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano. I chose this restaurant so we could get VIP seating tickets for the night show, Fantasmic! It's in a little corner in the Muppet section and it was delicious. The food was fantastic, the service was great!! This was a slow moving meal so we did miss an afternoon FP but we were able to catch the later showing with no problem. This is another restaurant that I would return to.

After the meal, the boys went to the Indiana Jones ride and the girls went to see Frozen Sing-a-long Celebration. It was SO CUTE!! We had such a fun time! The 'hosts' were funny, the songs were recognizable, and it even snowed at the end. It was worth the wait, I think Alice enjoyed it. And if she didn't, we did so who cares. ;) 

After this, we caught the Beauty and the Beast stage show while half of the party went to the Star Wars ride. Again, Alice loved it. It was a story she know, characters she knew and she enjoyed it. When Chip came on stage, "Yook, Mom! It's Chip!!" All the heart eyes! 

We did opt to go back to the resort for a bit while the others stayed to do some character meets. It wasn't a long break but it made a difference. 

We returned to the park for the Fantasmic! show. IT WAS WORTH IT! The show was amazing. I rate it as the #2 show we saw (the 1st being Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom). I bought glow sticks and bracelets before we left so I wouldn't have to buy them at the park and they worked out great. She loved her little glow wand.

We received VIP seating with our lunch so we were able to sit in a much less crowded space and it didn't cost us anything. There are dark elements to the show but Alice handled them fine and the headphones helped with the noise. 

It was a long day but a good day. I did have a mild panic attack because I thought someone took Alice's headphones out of her stroller, but it turns out I left them on a column while I was adjusting the stroller and they were turned in to Lost and Found. Bless them. We were able to get them back before the night show. Hallelujah! 

We missed doing a lot at this park simply due to crowds and temperament and timing issues, however, Alice doesn't know we missed anything.

The food was FABULOUS, the rides were fun, and the shows were fantastic!

Day 3, we're back in Magic Kingdom for a very special birthday!

*Side story: She was acting silly and fell on our way to the bus and scratched her knee and knuckles. This is how she insisted on sleeping. She didn't want anything to touch her boo-boos. This child.
