Walt Disney World - Day 4

We got up early and headed off to Hollywood Studios for the day. 

Our morning started with brunch at Hollywood & Vine...

where we danced & dined (& high-fived, too!) with Handy Manny, 

Little Einsteins:  June & Leo, and Oso!

After brunch, we passed the Sorcerer Mickey Hat...

on the way over to the "Mickey Avenue" section of the park where we visited the "Walt Disney:  One Man's Dream" attraction...

where we learned about the history of all things Disney.

We then stopped in "Animation Courtyard" to meet a few more characters including...

Sorcerer Mickey Mouse...

Winnie the Pooh...

The Incredibles...

and Little Einsteins:  Annie & Leo...

On our way over to "Sunset Boulevard" to see the "Beauty and the Beast - Live on Stage" show, we stumbled upon the "Disney Channel Rocks!" street performance on "Hollywood Boulevard"...

L enjoyed every minute of it & even joined in on the fun!

It was too funny!

After the impromptu street performance, we continued on our way to see Beauty and the Beast which did not disappoint!

Hubby & B snuck out a little early to hit the "Backlot" for the "Lights, Motors, Action!  Extreme Stunt Show" (with a special appearance by B's favorite, Lightning McQueen)...

On our way to meet back up with Hubby & B, we stopped at a fire hydrant water fountain along a NYC street to cool off...

At this point we split up so that L & I could see a couple of shows in "Animation Courtyard".  First we went to the

"Disney Junior - Live on Stage!" show...

and then on to the "Voyage of the Little Mermaid" show... 

B, M & Hubby stayed put in the "Backlot" where they met both Lightning McQueen & Mater at the Winner's Circle...

 before heading over to the "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" Movie Set Adventure playground...

After meeting back up, we headed to "Pixar Place" and entered a

"Toy Story" world...  Just being there was like being a part of the movie!

where we met both Buzz Lightyear & Woody...

We left Hollywood Studios late afternoon, went back to the hotel to rest and eat dinner before heading back out to Magic Kingdom for a couple more hours...

While Hubby & B went to ride Pirates of the Caribbean in "Adventureland"...

I took the girls for some more princess time 

(by this point, L was collecting autographs, too!)...

We saw Princess Aurora...

Belle...

and Cinderella...

before getting a photo made with Mickey & Minnie

(it was the best we could do)!

Both girls came a long way in 3 days.  By this time in the trip, L was high-fiving & blowing kisses to the characters...

and M was waving to them!

After our character encounters, we met back up with Hubby & B in "Adventureland" where we rode The Magic Carpets of Aladdin (which offered a beautiful view of the evening fireworks) multiple times...

took the Jungle Cruise...

and climbed the Swiss Family Treehouse...

before calling it a night!
