Hollywood Studios!!

 Hollywood Studios was our next stop!  We were at the gates when they opened!  First thing we saw was the army man from Toy Stoy!  Evan was thrilled.  Beau....not so much.  We didn't get one single picture of Beau with a character at Magic Kingdom or Epcot.  He would totally freak out if we got near them.  We were SO hoping this might be his day, but so far, not so much!!

 Buzz & Woody were right inside and we begged and begged Beau to get his picture made with them. He totally refused.  So, he and I stood outside the window and watched as everyone else went to see Buzz & Woody!

 Here we are, outside the window:(
 And the rest of the crew, with Buzz & Woody!
 This is how we took pictures with characters.  Far away with them in the background.
 The boys wanted to see the Indiana Jones show, and Beau wanted to see the Disney Junior Show.  So, the rest of the crew headed for Indiana Jones.  Beau and I timed it just right and walked up just as the Frozen parade was starting!!  

This is a picture of LOVE!!  I was sweating so bad, Beau was sliding all over me.  And he kept saying "hold me higher".  But, it was great!
 We saw Hans and Anna and Elsa.  Dream come true!!!
 Then we saw the Disney Junior show.  It was SO cute!  We got to see all the Disney characters, plus Sophia the First, Doc McStuffins, and Jake & the Pirates.  It was great!!
 Thankfully, we had Fast Passes for Toy Story Mania.  It was one of the very best rides!!  But the wait was crazy!!  SO glad we got to walk right on.

After that, we were walking down the street and Beau saw the face painting booth.  He asked if he could get his face painted.  I was pretty excited that he wanted to do it, so I said sure!  He picked Buzz Lightyear.  He was SO cute while they were painting his face.  He didn't move a muscle!!


The whole family watching Beau's transformation!
 And...here he is!!!
 He decided that Buzz would really like to see his face painted, and that he wanted to go see him.  We were all SO excited that we wanted to see a character, so we booked it right back to Buzz & Woody!!!
 We had to wait a while, but here he is!!!!!  This picture is priceless.  He was SO brave!!
 And tada.....the whole family with Buzz & Woody!!!!!
 Gracious....this is Disney magic cute right here!!!
 After all that excitement, we decided to leave for a while, get some lunch, and rest a little.  We went to Johnny Rockets for lunch.  It was good and nice and cool!
 We went back to Hollywood Studios later in the afternoon.  This time Beau refused to see Mater and Lightning.  Oh well, the rest of us enjoyed them!

We all loved Star Tours!!

 Beau at the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground.  Notice, his face paint is almost gone.
 Don't worry, at Disney World you can have your face paint touched up all day for free!  A new BUZZ!!!
 My sweet, silly boy!
 We went over and rode Tower of Terror too.  We all loved it, even Beau!!!  Then Nonnie watched Beau, while the rest of us rode Rockin' Rollercoaster.  It was SO awesome for this HUGE Aerosmith fan!!!

We had dinner at Pizza Planet.  Not the greatest food ever, but a super cool atmosphere!
 The fam eating some pizza!
 When it got dark, we watched the Frozen fireworks display.  It was SO good!  Then we went to the late showing of Fantasmic.  Looking back, we could have totally skipped this.  It was SO stinkin' hot and the whole show was weird and really had no point.  It was cool with all the lights, and lasers, and effects, but really not our thing.  Plus, Beau fell asleep before any of the cool characters came out.

It was a LONG walk back.  Sweet Blake carried him all the way back to the stroller.  We didn't get back to the hotel until after midnight.  We were exhausted!!!

 Magic Kingdom up next!
