Day Two- Epcot and Hollywood Studios

We were up and going early again.....waiting for the bus....Epcot!!Paul and I quickly realized that the characters were the highlight of the trip for O. She was constantly looking for them and loved to see them! We got to Epcot early and they have a "Character Spot" where Mickey and his friends are all under one roof. There was no question- we were heading there!

MICKEY!! The absolute favorite.....Pluto Donald DuckWe also saw Goofy, too. I'll have to look for that picture....

After seeing Goofy, she ran back to him to be sure to tell him that he is Pop's favorite! He waved to us and shook his head which meant to tell Pop he said hi to him, too.

As soon as we walked out, O was on the phone, calling her Pop- she couldn't wait to tell him that she saw Goofy and he said Hi!Finding Nemo...The ride was just like being under the sea.....riding in a huge sea shellAfter the morning at Epcot, we caught the bus to Hollywood Studios. In all honesty, it was ESPN the Weekend there, so Paul and I were ready to head over and see some of the action.We ate lunch at Sci-Fi Diner, where you sit in these car/tables and watch a movie on a big screen movie- just like being at a drive-in. We had hamburgers and milkshakes.....it just seemed fitting for a drive-in.We venture out to find some ESPN action- O saw that they were giving away these towels, so she proceeded to get in line to do a vertical jump. Never mind she was in the line with all men and young boys. She didn't care- she wanted a towel. Thankfully, Paul still has it in him....he did the vertical jump and O got her towel. Thankfully he didn't hurt himself- ha!
O even helped anchor Sportscenter....The ESPN activities were really fun! There were professional athletes everywhere...ESPN is the default channel around our house, so it was fun to see it all in person.
After leaving ESPN, we headed to a few of the shows and saw a few more characters.

Jojo and Goliath....


After The Little Mermaid Show, we happened upon a baby Ariel. Nan and Pop had given her some spending money and she spent it all at one place- on this baby. Don't worry, it was worth every penny. Baby Ariel was her new best friend!

Here O and Baby Ariel are waiting for the fun Pixar parade.








The Toy Story Float stopped right in front of us!

O and I enjoyed some of the "dancing" in the street.









Whoa! What a day- perfect weather and lots of fun- now for some rest!!

We headed back to the hotel for some rest.....we have more to come!
