Hollywood Studios

Our final day of parks! Bittersweet. It meant out trip was nearing the end. Again the weather was hot and humid... but we made the most of it. Arrives the park before 9 and met Daisy! 


And then Olaf.





Then headed to meet all the Disney Junior characters... the girls loved them!! Especially Doc and Jake. 






Fighting the heat and sun with shades and ice cream bars.






Then the rest of the day was filled with watching shows - Frozen Sing Along - loved it! Little Mermaid - loved it! Disney Junior Live - loved it! And finally Beauty and the Beast. I loved - Greta was a little nervous and the end. 




Patiently waiting for the show to start.

We ended the day with a late lunch with the characters. Great food and fun!









We also got to see the march of the storm troopers - girls not impressed. Ryan and I impressed.


Booth girls feel asleep within minutes of getting on the car! Another day of wonderful memories! 

Magic Kingdom

The happiest place on earth didn't disappoint. It was a long day but we loved to tell about it and the day ended with 1 sleeping and 1 still happy. The weather cooperated too - it was mostly cloudy all day and about 85 with only 120% humidity. But all in all manageable. Plus attendance was super low. Most ride had less than a 20 minute wait and even that seemed super short.

We started the day with a carousel ride



and meeting our first princess. Elena of Avalor and Cinderella. 



 Then we had breakfast at the Royal Castle and we got to meet all the princess. So awesome. They were all so nice and wonderful with the girls. The pictures speak for themselves.






The more rides, Enchanted tales with Belle - amazing!!! 



More rides, meeting Ariel.



Meeting Mickey (be sure to check out Greta's face in the pictures - hilarious) and Tinker Belle. The parade.










And one final ride!




Again-we left with 1 sleeping and 1 smiling. Plus 2 parents that loved experiencing the magic through their eyes.


My favorite moments
1. Watching their faces light up as they met the princesses.
2. Greta telling me everything was her favorite.
3. See the amazement in Lola's eyes - all day
4. Ryan and I enjoying the fun as well and not sweating to death
5. Listening to their giggles about the fun day after we left

Seaworld 2017

Seaworld might be one of my favoritest places. I remember going there as a kid and watching in amazement as the dolphins and shamu swam, splashed and did tricks. And my many years later - it still bring me the same amazement. And it was even better watching through Greta and Lola's eyes. They sat as still as can be, watching each move. And when the shows ended, there was tears and they wanted to watch more. 

We also got to see and touch sting rays, watch sharks, boluga whales, fish, sea lions and more. 












And Greta rode her first roller coaster with Ryan.



That is them in the last car - Greta picked it - didn't realize the was the fasted seat on the roller coaster. 



Girls got to play in the splash area. 




We stood and watched Shamu swim for like 20 minutes talking to one of the trainers.  They are such beautiful, fascinating creatures. It was just memorizing watching them.


Genius idea!!  Sleeping baby parking. Lola only feel asleep for about 30. 


Greta enjoying a little alone time as Lola slept. 

What a great day!!!
