Hollywood Studios

Tuesday morning we took a bus to Hollywood Studios (Seth had been really hoping for Epcot).  The kids and I had never been there, and Nathan not since high school, so it was fun to explore.  The very first show we saw was the Little Mermaid:

Then we went to a Disney Junior show (quick family pic as we waited for it to start):

We did a few more things and then ate lunch with the Disney Junior characters.  We met Jake (of Neverland Pirates fame), June (from Little Einsteins), Handy Manny, and Special Agent Oso:

Before we left the park, we got a second set of Fast Passes for Toy Story Mania, a neat 3D ride our whole family liked.  Here are the goofballs after the ride:

We had pizza for dinner, and realized we were very close to two characters with a fairly short line (it was hard to justify standing in long lines to meet characters when we were seeing so many at meals).  Here is a picture Amelia took while we were waiting:

 Pops was so jealous, we met Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater!

It had rained during naptime, which cooled things off nicely and scared off the crowds, so we did almost as many things in the evening as we did during the day.  We decided to save the night show for another trip and went back to Downtown Disney for a little bit.  It ended up being a late night; we had to wake the kids up the next day!
