Disney - Day 4 (Wednesday, August 19th)

For Day 4 of our trip, we returned to Hollywood Studios to check out what we didn't have time to see the day before. We started our day off with yet another character breakfast. Talia of course had to have three Mickey Waffles again (she gets three because she's three years old - can't argue against that logic, right?). We were able to get a couple autographs and pictures with some friends, including Leo,


Jojo,


Goliath,


and June. There were some fun breaks in our meal where Talia got to join in some songs and dances with the characters - a good way to burn off some of those Mickey Waffles!


There aren't really any rides for little kids at Hollywood Studios, but there were plenty of shows that happened to be right in Talia's wheelhouse. The first show we saw was a High School Musical Parade/Show. The stage came right down the main street with the speakers blaring.


Talia loved it and was singing along with all the songs. There may have been a couple of parents who shall remain nameless who also knew all the words and may have been bobbing their heads along with the music too ;)


After the HSM show, we headed over to see the Playhouse Disney show. We got lucky because Quincy from Little Einsteins was outside the theater!


The Playhouse Disney show was a puppet stage show that featured some of Talia's favorite shows from the Disney Channel, including Mickey Mouse Clubhouse,


Handy Manny,


and Little Einsteins.


After the show, we got a little snack. Talia's chocolate ice cream bar was melting so fast as she ate it that it slid right off the stick. She was not happy when we had to throw it away.


Since there wasn't much left for us to do at Hollywood Studios and because we'd been running on adrenaline for three and a half days, we decided to head back to the hotel to get in a short nap. All four of us happily hit the sack and woke up a full THREE HOURS later. Oops. Well, since it was now dinnertime, we decided to walk to the center of our resort to get some grub.


We happened to wear our swimsuits to dinner just in case we wanted to get in a little pool time. We weren't disappointed as the main pool turned out to be a blast! Talia cruised around using her floaties and Giana loved splashing around, too.


There was also a nice little zero-depth kids area off to the side of the main pool. Talia must have gone down the slides at least twenty times in a row.


Eventually it started to sprinkle on us, so we high tailed it back to the room, where we finished packing up and got a good night's sleep in preparation for our final day of the trip.
