Disney: Day 5

Disney World,
Family,
Vacation
Ivy had her meltdown as soon as we got up again but after it passed we headed to Hollywood Studios. It was really crowded when we got there and it was hard to get where we were going. We were looking at our map when Ivy saw a bush shaped like Sorcerer Mickey. We asked her if she wanted a picture in front of it and she said yes but then she poked out her belly and her lip. I think the picture if funny but when we decided to move along because she wasn't cooperating she had another meltdown.

That's right...two meltdowns in one day. Aren't we lucky parents? We do not give in to the meltdowns so we sat down on a bench until she was done. Eventually she said she was ready to be a big girl and we moved along.
And then she saw Jake from "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" and all was right with the world. She LOVES that show. She also got to meet Handy Manny and then we watched a really cute Disney Junior show that she loved.

We had fast passes to see "Voyage of the Little Mermaid" but it was not worth it...even with the fast passes. My advice....skip it. They cram everyone into this little room that smells really bad while the show is going on and you have to wait in there for the entire 20 minute show. We could barely move or breath and the show wasn't that good.

We did a few movie rides but nothing too exciting and the Pixar area was out of control. The wait to meet the characters was always at least 45 minutes if not longer and the wait for the Toy Story ride was never under 120 minutes and all the fast passes were gone before 9:00. So we left there shortly after lunch and headed over to Magic Kingdom again because we had dinner reservations at The Crystal Palace.
The characters at The Crystal Palace were great...the food was just so-so. Ivy was of course in love with the characters and couldn't hardly eat because she was so anxious waiting for them to come around to us. Tigger was the parade leader so Ivy got to bounce around the dining room a couple of times. Tigger was also out of control....he was rough housing with people, picking on all the adults and he squeezed Ivy really hard when he gave her a hug. We were cracking up and she loved every second.



We left the Magic Kingdom and went back to Epcot for the rest of the evening...without the camera so we could just enjoy ourselves. I finally got my Figment fix with Journey to Imagination and then we just roamed around the world showcase. Epcot has a totally different pulse at night, it was so pretty with everything lit up.
