Friday morning we got up bright and early (630am) and all got ready for our fun filled day. We were heading to Hollywood studios for our 830am breakfast reservation at Hollywood Vine & Dine. We got to the park and I immediately went to guest services got our pass for Zachary to use his wheelchair/push chair as a stroller in the lines and that he can't wait in line due to his ADD/ADHD and being in the sun bothers him for any length of time. We got right into Hollywood Studios before rope drop and I just love that feeling. The park is so empty and a great photo opportunity.
We get to HVD and get our table right away. Character there that day were Special Agent Oso (we never got to meet him though), Handy Manny, and a character from the Little Einsteins. I forgot her name already but the kids know. LOL B'fast was pretty good and Zach was more interested in the characters, so we told him they won't come over to the table until you eat and they can see that. Well needless to say he ate almost 2 plates of food and was set for the day he said.
After some quick visiting with the characters he was ready to go on his way.
After all he only wanted to be at that park was to meet Phineas & Ferb. Well mom had other thoughts, I wanted to get to Toy Story Mania first before lines got to long. So needless to say mom won the battle and on our way to TSM we saw a couple get engaged. It was such a happy & magical moment. How cool would it be to get engaged at Disney especially if you love it as much as this momma does? Anyway, we got to TSM and the wait was about 20 minutes. We didn't use our pass this time because it wasn't to hot, the line wasn't bad, and he had a full belly so he was content. The ride was alot of fun and I think daddy took it a bit to serious. He had never rode it before, and really liked it. I think I am starting to convert him into liking Disney
After riding TSM we headed over to the Phineas & Ferb meet and greet. There we had to wait probably 30-40 minutes to see them. Once we got to the front of the line they put the rope up and said P&F had to go check on Candice. So Zach says, thats not true she always checks on them. LOL During that time frame they did a little interactive show with the kids and then P&F came back out. We were first to see them this time around and with that Zach got to spend a few extra minutes with them.
That was absolutely perfect because after all this was his Dream Factory trip and his dream was to meet P&F and go on the
Disney Cruise. We got lots of pictures and he had lots of smiles. I will say once we got home I checked out photopass and our pics weren't on there. I was crushed to say the least. I called the photopass number and they asked if I knew what day, what time, what park and they would see what they could do. Well after about 10 minutes on the phone the lady found our pictures on someone elses card. I was jumping for joy and she transferred them to our card and sure enough it was our boy all smiles and happy to see his pals!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another reason I love Disney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After seeing P&F we headed around the park to catch some other characters and to ride Tower of Terror & AeroSmiths Rockin Roller Coaster. Both rides were maybe 5 minute waits so again we didn't have to use his pass. (Which is ok with me, I feel funny using it sometimes. We rode TT 2x in a row and then headed over to ASRRC. That we only rode 1x because he said it was kinda strong for him but he did it for his first time. Last time he was to small for it. I will say I was scared for him while on it. I guess I didn't realize it was that forceful or maybe I am a whimp. LOL After those 1 rides we did some more walking around, shopping, and seeing different parts of the park.
We went to 50's Prime Time for dinner. Our reservations were for 545 but at 3 we were hungry. Remember we had b'fast at 830 and no lunch so we got in early had a great dinner and man that restaurant is so much fun. They are the funniest people in there. After eating we heading to Epcot. We knew we could do Epcot that night because the kids don't care for the countries quite yet (or I should say Zach doesn't have the attention span for them yet). So we headed there and enjoyed a evening at Epcot. The kids got to do all the rides they wanted and checked out a few of the other things around the park. We wanted to stay for the firework show but it was starting to sprinkle and I heard Cast members saying if it rains it won't go on. So we headed back to the resort and thought the kids could go to bed since we were up early and start over the next morning. Well wrong thinking mom, the kids went in the pool. It was pretty cool to be swimming at about 10ish at night and still be pretty warm out. It was 90-95 everyday we were there.
