Epcot opened early, so we got up super early and headed there. Daniel and I rode Test Track (love the picture of him on this one) and looked at the Flower & Garden things as we walked through Epcot. We headed over to Hollywood Studios by way of the Boardwalk (walking of course). We hit Hollywood Studios right after opening for Star Wars Weekends! We headed to Toy Story Mania and the wait was already 35 minutes. We went ahead and stood in line because the line to get fastpasses was terribly long. We ran into Princess Leia Minnie and Luke Skywalker Mickey for quick pictures! We grabbed some lunch at Pizza Planet and headed to the Star Wars Weekends Parade. Although it was HOT, Daniel loved the parade. Asoka from the Star Wars Clone Wars Cartoon stopped to tell him happy birthday and he was awestruck (still talking about her)!. After the parade, we headed to the Animation Studios and saw Mr. Incredible and the characters from UP- where Arianna fell in love with the dog Dug. Took a quick picture with Mike Wazowski (boo hoo..no Sulley) and headed back to the boardwalk. We had spent the night before at Hollywood Studios and would be there again the next day for Early Magic Hours so we were headed back to Epcot. Both kids fell asleep in the stroller along the Boardwalk.
At Epcot, we went to the Disney Visa Meet and Greet for some pictures with Minnie and Goofy. We always do this, but sometimes it's hit and miss- more with the photographers than the kids. Not the best pictures, but still a fun time. We made a dash for the Living Seas with Nemo and Friends- both kids loved the aquarium. And then headed to the Character Spot for pictures while we waited out the rained (it poured). Cute pictures from the Character Spot! After the rain, we grabbed our free picture and headed to the monorail. Next stop...Magic Kingdom!
Finally, I got to see my castle!! I love the Magic Kingdom! We headed for Buzz Lightyear and rode that a few times before the guys ventured to Stitch's Great Escape. I was a little leary about him doing this one, but he loved it and did it again with me. We grabbed something to eat...if I had to guess it was probably Cosmic Ray's. We enjoyed watching the Spectro Magic parade and walked through a few stores before watching the Wishes Fireworks. After that, we headed out to the car and hit Downtown Disney. We got some much awaited Earl of Sandwich and hit Goofy's Candy Co.
It was a long and busy day, but it was so fun and everything that Daniel wanted to do! I'm sure I left some things out, but it was all fun anyway! In total, visited 3 parks and walked 11.66 miles this day! It was totally worth it when Daniel said "This was the best day EVER...thank you!"
