After the laziest morning ever, or maybe during this vacation we left the Villa at 1:00pm. First stop the Krispy Kreme at the US192 for a fresh donut (or a couple) as lunch. After we got the donuts we went to a Starbucks with a nice patio and because Emily was sleeping we decided to drink our venti Teavana Shaken Peach Green Tea Lemonade (Mama) and grande Java Chip Frappuccino (Papa) on the patio while she joined us sleeping in her car seat.

From there we drove to the Disney’s Hollywood Studios because we wanted to see Fantasmic! And we hoped that Emily would hold out another night staying up late.

We start with a character meeting, Sorcerer Mickey. It seems she really likes meeting him because the first 10 minutes from the wait she was just hanging out and interacting with the people in front of us. But the last couple minutes and as soon as we could see Mickey she got annoyed and tried to reach out to him. And as soon as she could touch him she was smiling and making fun.

After Mickey we tried to get in line for a meeting with Mike Wazowski and Sulley but they were just called into the office to finish some paperwork for Roz. Lucky for us Andy was sleeping and we met with a Green Army Man, luckily Emily practiced her high fives a lot the last weeks.

Also Woody and Buzz Lightyear were meeting with other kids, Emily couldn’t stop looking at Buzz, Woody wasn’t so interesting.

We shopped on the Hollywood Boulevard and we found some really cool beach/swimming pool towels which we had embroidered with our names. The person who helped us was also an “Emily” not so cute as ours but she asked to spell our namespace I did “Every Moment I Love You”. She had never heard it before but she loved it. While we picked up our order later that night she told it to all of her colleagues and she even called her name.

From there we went to a spot in the park where a surprise meet and greet with several characters could take place, it’s called a Character Palooza and we were lucky. We were able to get a signature from and picture with Princess Tiana and pictures with Minnie Mouse and Pocahontas.

Because the wait times were really short we also had some time left for a meeting with Mike & Sulley because they finally finished their work for Roz. Emily tried to steal Mikes hat and loved the hair from Sulley.

 
After the character meets everyone got hungry and we decided to eat at the Studio Catering Co. Mama and Papa had something with Chicken breast and Emily something with rice, pears and pineapples. As soon as I was finished with my meal I ran of to another trip with Star Tours. I happened to get a special mission from BB-8 which was successfully completed, I have to say I love this ride.

Now it’s time for the FastPasses for the Tower of Terror. Mama went first while Emily and I made a PhotoPass photo.

Papa went directly after and when he was done Emily was sleeping. While Mama went to the restroom Emily and I got this photo taken.

But it was 6:26 and time to go towards Fantasmic! We found ourselves a nice place in the back so we could leave without bothering to many people of Emily would not like the show for some reason. But she enjoyed it, she didn’t know where to look.

At 8:00pm there was a (for us) new firework show the Symphony in the Stars: A Galactic Spectacular! The firework is based on the Star Wars movies and contains a lot of dialogues and music from the movies. The fireworks itself are really spectacular but we still like Illuminations a little bit more…

After the firework we walked back to the car (at the back of the parking lot) before we ended upon a traffic disaster, I think the ride home would normally take about 20 minutes, today we spend 20 minutes in one spot. And only because most of the people are driving a to big rental car and don’t know to drive it. But at 9:00 pm we got home and put Emily in bed where she slept immediately, probably dreaming about Mickey.
