Vacation - Day Five

Today we headed back to Hollywood Studios. Mickey Mouse shaped bushes are always fun to see!

We definitely had to go the "The Voyage of the Little Mermaid" for the girl's sake. It was really neat because you sat in a theatre seat like usual, but during the show you got rained on during the storm and there were also bubbles that came down from the ceiling at certain times. Gracie loved it. Ella loved it until Ursula was on stage, then she covered her eyes. She's still talking about that nasty old Ursula.

Hola, Handy Manny!

Manny didn't have his tools with him. :-(

This is in Toy Story land. The barrel of monkeys had escaped and they were stretched out across the road. Cute!

Annie and Leo from "The Little Einsteins" were also out today!

We met the Green Armyman in Toy Story land. (Not quite as cool as meeting Micky Mouse, but he still got to sign Gracie's autograph book!)

This is when all of us girls returned to Hollywood Studios after going back to the hotel for an afternoon swim. We hadn't done that all week. Maybe we felt a little refreshed, but it didn't last long. They guys stayed behind in Hollywood Studios.

Gracie and Ella both got small tiaras that they wanted to wear the rest of the trip! Too cute.

Buzz Lightyear was trying to tell Gracie she should twirl and dance like a princess since she had a tiara. He had to use body language instead of talking, so all he could do was spin around and then motion to her to spin around. It was comical watching Gracie try to understand him!

Buzz and Woody!!!

As usual, Ella pooped out! She didn't survive the line to meet Buzz and Woody.

This was at the "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" play area. It was very neat and I wish we could have let Gracie play longer. It was about to close when we got there.

A spider web climbing net. Believe me, that's the only kind of spider web this girl of mine would willingly go near! Like mother, like daughter!

A re energized Ella!

Uncle Dana and Gracie in front of a fake wall of San Francisco from a movie set.

This picture makes me think of the front of the apt's on the show "227" from when I was a kid. Or maybe even "The Cosby Show." I don't know what movie or TV show they were actually from.

Gracie with her "twin" Gracie from Maine. They were such good buddies and had a hard time saying good-bye after their last swim together. My Gracie returned to the room still crying with puffy, blood-shot eyes. It was horrible for a while! She said, "She was my best friend....and I even lover her."

I took this picture only because after I released their hair buns from the day, their hair looked identical in it's thickness, volume and curl. It's amazing to me how similar their hair is!
