Hollywood Studios & Blizzard Beach

Today was our last full day in Orlando so we took full advantage with a visit to two parks.  Up first was Hollywood Studios.  We hit up the Toy Story ride and then immediately went to the Disney Junior show.  Carter LOVED it and sang along the whole time.  It is very interactive and he took full advantage.
Catching Bubbles
Dancing with Dad
We then wandered over to see some Monster friends (Parker and Carter both recently watch Monsters Inc and Monsters University and were very excited to see Sully and Mike).
And visited the Honey I Shrunk the Kids Playground.
Dad got caught in a strange rain storm...
On our way to see Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater.
Soon it was time to escape the mid-day heat and there is only so much here to hold a toddlers attention.
So we were off to a place with a bit more excitement and some water to help cool off what was becoming a very hot day.  With an afternoon at Blizzard Beach.  Our little fish had a blast.
Lazy River

Parker adored the Lazy River

Chairlift to the top of the mountain for a family tube ride

Enjoying the kids play area and slides
We had to drag Parker away... seriously it was crazy, he did this slide at least 40 times straight

Parker's first big boy slide... he demanded to go again

So proud after Parker went on the big kid tube ride and Carter did a solo in the dark tunnel tube ride!
More river relaxation


Parker also did a solo slide ride in the little kids park.  All smiles!


All done
After drying off, we headed back to Hollywood Studios for some nighttime fun.  After seeing the Disney Junior show again (per Carter's request), Dad and Parker watched the Little Mermaid show while Mom and Carter went to the The Magic of Animation area.  Carter took a quiz that said he was most like the Disney Character... Buzz Lightyear.
And the whole family reunited for a visit with Minnie in her Dressing room.
We grabbed a quick dinner...
Before catching the Fantasmic fire, water, fireworks show.  It was a late night and Parker passed out in Dad's arms as soon as the show ended and we were walking out.
It was a very long day but we squeezed in as much Disney as possible!
