WDW 2018 - Day 2 (Hollywood Studios)

Day 2 was a better day.  The twinkies got dressed up in the Buzz Lightyear and Woody costumes in preparation for going to Toy Story Land:

We had a shorter wait at the bus stop but Lola was still getting worried that the bus would never arrive.

At the park, we made the long walk from the relocated bus stop to the gate.  We hurried our way through security so that we could make it to the restaurant for our reservation for breakfast.  Today's characters weren't as big of a hit as yesterday, except for Goofy which T was very into:
Vampira

Sophia

Caption necessary - Goofy's re-styling


Mmm, Bloody Mary's

After breakfast, we watched a parade of Storm Troopers down Hollywood Street before we made our way to a Frozen sing-along which Lola and MBM were very excited for.






Then it was time to go to Toy Story Land for some rides.





T wasn't sure he wanted to go on Slinky Dog Dash (roller coaster) so he and DD killed time at other rides/attractions while the rest of the crew waited in the 75 mins line for the ride.  It was worth it - B was super excited after the ride and had to tell her mom to "keep it down" (not her voice, her vomit).







After the ride, we found DD and T where B was grinning from ear-to-ear with excitement still from the ride.  This convinced T that maybe he should go on the ride, thinking that his Dad would "help him be brave".  And it worked - DD figured that T got to his limit on the ride but did not go over which was a big WIN.

After the roller coaster, it was time for a small snack before we went and did more rides/attractions.
 


Good thing the referee stepped in to stop this skirmish

When the doors opened after Ariel's Under the Sea experience, we were ushered out into a torrential down pour.  Luckily there was enough of an overhang from the nearby buildings that we could be sheltered from the rain.  At the same time, there was another parade which ended up going right pass us all and offered up some good pictures:



It was then time for supper before DD, MBM and kiddos went back to the hotel for baths while AA and Lola stayed at the park for one more ride.  After the ride, we grabbed some quick snacks (popcorn and a cupcake for MBMell) and then hurried to the bus in another rain shower.









Now, we are all kicking back with our feet up, relaxing before we call it a night.  Tomorrow is going to be an earlier start with breakfast reservations before 9am - AA is hoping to get into the park early to get some good, uncluttered photos of the Magic Kingdom.
