We could see the Frozen Spectacular fireworks at Hollywood Studios from our room. We have a great view of the lake and the Art of Animation resort.

Magical Express
Harry was humming to himself and looking out the window of the Magical Express. The next thing we knew he was fast asleep.

Free Timbits were “Num, num!”
The free timbits were num num according to Harry. Honey dipped!
John’s new phone made a handy “mini iPad” while waiting to board. We also found the Fisher Price Play Gate which had a slide, musical activity tables, and ride-on zebras (all made by Fisher Price of course). Harry loved that area. It kept him busy and let him burn off some energy before we got on the plane.
The highlight of the Pop Century resort so far for Harry has been the kiddie pool in the 1960’s themed area (near the Hippy Dippy Pool). He had great fun splashing around and wading through the extremely shallow water (notwithstanding a minor incident involving swallowing and regurgitating said water all over his mother).
After a nice warm shower and some bedtime stories, we basically all got ready for bed and darkened the room. Then I sang to Harry and put him in his pack and play. He was asleep by 8:45 which isn’t really too much later than normal. Could have been worse. All in all, a good first day, topped off with an amazing view of the fireworks right outside our window. And thankfully the noise from that didn’t even faze our sleeping boy. What a trooper!

Brrrr…Florida is cold!
Brrrr! The weather is so cold down here in Florida that Harry was able to play in the snow.
He had to wear his shorts because we forgot to pack his snow suit.

Harry loves seeing “Mick”
Harry loves seeing “Mick” every time we go to our room. Oh and did you know the Deluxe resorts ($300+ per night) don’t have these huge Disney characters?
Harry was identifying the owner of each Magic Band and the colour.

Olaf Puppet
They gave us an Olaf puppet at the entrance to Hollywood Studios. He got kind of wrecked from being in the bottom of the stroller and dragged along the ground a bit. I could probably make one at home—that looks like a paint stirring stick.

Whoops
This morning I woke up early, showered, got dressed in the dark, and went down to the food court to get our coffee before Harry woke up. It wasn’t until much later as I was brushing my teeth after breakfast that I looked at myself in the full length mirror and had to laugh because I realized my blue jean skort was on backwards. The back pockets were on the front and the fake fly was on the back. Don’t worry, only dozens of people saw me. It’s not like the resort was deserted or anything.

No more “Mick”
Harry was still asleep at 8:05 this morning. He eventually woke up with a little encouragement and couldn’t wait to get in his stroller to see “Mickey”. He now uses Mickey’s full first name.

Taxi in Hollywood Studios
Harry playing with an old taxi cab. He was driving his train on the back bumper. He would have done that for hours if we would have let him.

Small World
He really liked the Small World ride. Lots of stuff to look at.

Dumbo Ride Play Area
This is the waiting play area for the Dumbo ride. It’s really great for kids. They give you a pager and then let you play until your pager beeps. Harry loved the fire truck so much that he didn’t want to share. We made it onto the Dumbo ride for about 5 seconds then left because Harry started screaming and wouldn’t sit in the seat with us. We were just at the Haunted Mansion before this and he did great.
Lunch at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. I’d like to point out that I chose the healthy option. The Greek salad is mine and the Cheeseburger is Leanne’s.
