Sunday, May 16, 2010 - Pool & Hollywood Studios

We planned Sunday much the same way as Saturday. We spent the morning relaxing at the pool followed by lunch and naps at the hotel. In the evening we headed to Hollywood Studios to see the sights and most importantly Disney's show "Fantasmic." It was great and the girls both loved it! :)

The Pool

Reagan and Kennedy laughing at silly Daddy lol :)

Daddy and Reagan
Mommy and her girls (silly Kennedy insisting on wearing both Daddy and her hats)

Playing toss with their ball together so nicely ;)

Reagan pretending to swim like a little mermaid

Happy Kennedy :)

Kennedy insisted upon wearing Reagan's life jacket all the way back to the room and completely buckled. I guess we should have gotten one for her too...

Reagan striking a pose as she's modeling her new hat from Aunt Jen and Uncle Andrew. I meant to mention yesterday that these super cute reversible hats were from Aunt Jen. They were absolutely perfect for Florida - especially on Kennedy's bald little head! :)

Hollywood Studios

Tim and Reagan in front of the Hollywood Studio's icon; Mickey's Sorcerer Hat (also with our new stroller as we sort of forgot ours at home...)

Reagan was very excited to see Annie and Leo and very disspointed to have just miss Quincy and June as they walked away. We had another chance to meet June later but unfortunately Reagan was throwing a huge trantrum and missed that opportunity as well. Sometimes there are hard lessons to learn when you're 3 years old...

Reagan was so excited to see Jasmine and Aladdin. As a matter of fact she was crying while we were waiting in line because she was afraidwe weren't going to make it up to see them before they left. As you can see, we made it, but for whatever reason Reagan lost it and didn't want to see them. All I can think is that it was because it was another "Prince Charming." Those are the only two characters at Disney or anywhere that Reagan hasn't absolutely loved. Whatever the reason she wasn't going to have anything to do with them...

Then she saw her old buddies Chip and Dale and had no qualms about running full speed up to them. She got the biggest and longest bear hug from Dale and was positively in heaven! :)

Reagan was quite content to hang out with Chip and Dale

Reagan was very happy to see Mickey Mouse again too :)

Reagan and Mickey enjoying a pretty funny joke together lol :)

Part of our issue with seeing Jasmine and Aladdin was that Reagan had seen Snow White across the room and was desperate to see her again. She was definitely the favorite princess on our cruise so I guess it shouldn't have been a surprise that Reagan desperately needed to see her at Disney World.

Reagan was also extremely excited to see Bell

Due to a tip by a friend, Morgan Wallace, we were able to see all of these characters pretty easily at 5:00 in the Animation Studio. It was convenient and there were other fun things for the girls to do while we waited too. They both enjoyed coloring pictures digitally (although Kennedy frustrated Reagan a bit by changing the colors so we eventually got her a different machine).

At last on her own and Flounder can finally be the right colors!!!

Flounder and everyone else are all still funky colors at Kennedy's station though :)

As we were leaving the exhibit we realized it had started to pour so we stayed in their shop as well as hopped along to some other ones. Kennedy was cracking me up in this one because she would stop in front of each picture and contemplate it so seriously before moving on to the next one. I don't know how many pictures she viewed this way but it was absolutely precious! I know these two pictures are nearly identical but I had to include them both so you could see her progressing down the row of paintings. :)

Kennedy also had a great time taking the stuffed animals (especially Mickey Mouse) off the shelves in another store as well as seeing how many she could carry at one time

While we were waiting for "Fantasmic" to begin Sunday evening Reagan had the opportunity to participate in her first wave. She thought it was cool the first couple of times and then she quit because I'm not sure she was quite sure what to make of it.

It began to rain again while we were waiting for the show so with a bit of assistance Reagan came up with this make shift umbrella/rain jacket thing...

Kennedy enjoyed the popcorn while her sister was a nut

Fantasmic was really cool as always. It is so amazing! :) Reagan was very excited about all the characters in the show and especially Steamboat Willie at the end, go figure! Both girls wanted to sit in my lap until near the end when all the villans were coming out and then Kennedy cracked me up because she decided it was time to sit in Daddy's lap - I guess I'm not tough enough to protect her from them. lol :) In anycase the show was great and the girls were again better behaved the later it got. :)
