The most important thing we did this day was let Cassidy give her "pipeys" (pacifiers) to Mickey. She had all of them in a plastic baggie. She knew that this was the plan, and she handled it so well. She went right up to Mickey and handed him the bag. Mickey wasn't really sure what the pipeys were for, but he acted so thankful for the gift anyway. We explained to Mickey that he needed to give these pipeys to babies because Cassidy was a big girl, and she didn't need them anymore. Here is the picture of Cassidy giving her pipeys to Mickey and then us as a group. By the way, Cassidy never really asked for her pipeys again. She didn't even cry for them at bedtime, but I think it was because she was so exhausted every night. We were so proud of her.
After meeting Mickey, we met Lotso from Toy Story 3. I am not kidding when I say that I was giddy to meet Lotso and to have my picture with him. He even smelled like strawberries.
We also met Buzz Lightyear and Woody at Hollywood Studios.
After spending several hours at this park, we decided to go back to our hotel and rest. The girls did a little swimming. This was the Mighty Ducks pool at our hotel.
We had planned to go to Downtown Disney and figured we would be out late. After a few hours of rest, we decided to make our way to Downtown Disney. We waited almost 30 minutes for the bus to come, but it never arrived. So, we had a great idea to ride to another park (Epcot) to try to catch a bus to the downtown area from there. Little did we know, there was no bus from Epcot to Downtown Disney. So, we decided to take a cab, which was a little pricey, but definitely worth it.
Downtown Disney is mostly an eating and shopping area. There are some neat things to see. This was in Lego Land. Can you believe that these statues were made completely from Legos?
This is another picture I thought was cute. This Cinderella is not made out of Legos.
We did eat at the T-Rex Cafe because Cassidy has a thing for dinosaurs. It is a neat restraunt with robotic dinosaurs. There is a storm that happens during the meal and the dinosaurs move and make noise. The restraunt has flashing lights and sounds of thunder. It was a pretty neat (but crowded) place. This is another place that my camera did not work too well.
Getting back to the hotel from Downtown Disney was another fiasco. After walking what had to be a mile to the bus stop and waiting for too long, we decided to take a cab back to the hotel...only to find out the cabs were back where we had come from. So, we hiked about a mile back to where the cabs were. Cassidy fell asleep again, and we had many packages to carry. But, Madelyn was a trooper and we made it back home. Other than one really neat toy store, Downtown Disney did not have alot to offer us. I am not sure that we would go back there again while our kids are still so little.
