Day 2...

Day 2 was a Hollywood Studios kind of day!  After our late night we weren't in a huge rush to get going...but with kids it happens anyways! :)  Reese woke up first so I kept her quiet with a little Mickey Mouse Clubhouse while I got ready.

 Then it was time to wake up Ryne and Daddy...doesn't she look ready to go?!

 By the time we got on the bus all was good in the world!  ;)  Of course with this little girl all is always good in her world!

 First stop...customary picture of course!

 Then we made our way back to the tower of terror!  We had Ryne pretty excited about it!

 This was during the spooky video part!

 Their scared faces!  :)

Then the ride happened!  We were about to get on the elevator...like seriously next in line and Ryne said she changed her mind.  We forced talked her into it and all climbed on.  She was fine during the first part and I told her that we were going to drop down and shoot back up but that we would be fine and I would hold on to her the whole time.  She almost climbed on my lap with the first drop!!  Poor girl was scared to death and we felt like the world's worst parents! But after I carried her off and we looked at our pictures she was fine again...but she definitely didn't want to ride again with Pops and Gran Jan!  ha! 

 So J and I hung out with the girls while Pops and Gran Jan rode the Tower of Terror.  :)  They enjoyed snacking a bit while we waited...

 After that J and I hoped on the Rock n Roller coaster for a quick ride...

Then it was time for something a little more low key...The Toy Story ride!

 After that was lunch, then a show, and then the Backlot tour.

  Beauty and the Beast time!  We got there right when it started and still had great seats!  :)

Reese was way more into this kids Mickey lanyard!

Ryne was completely ingrossed! 

Backlot tour time!

Reese stayed awake for about 5 minutes of it! :)

 So after the backlot tours I found a shady spot and held this little princess while she napped away for about an hour!

 Ryne had fun meeting some cool peeps...

Then Reese woke up for a little dress up fun and snacks!  :)

After that we parted ways.  Jeremy and I took Ryne for some special big girl time while Pops and Gran Jan hung out with Reese!  I'll post about Ryne's "Best night ever" next!  :)

Magic Kingdom here we come!

 We got to DW early enough to go ahead and go to one of the parks.  We picked Magic Kingdom because isn't that the only way to start?!  The girls had fun playing on the letters while we waited on our bus!

Okay, so we all did!  :)

After a short bus ride we were there!  Let the Memories begin!  :)

 As soon as we walked in a parade started.  What great luck!  Even better a photographer was close by and snapped pics of my sweet girls the entire time!  I LOVE that he captured some precious shots of them seeing all the magic....Reese's very first time!  We actually tried to tip him later but he wouldn't accept it.  I'm pretty sure that is against DW policy but I wish we could have!

 After the parade passed we asked him to do the traditional family shot...

 And then the parade came back through, so we watched again and he snapped away again!  :)

 After that it was time to find some rides!  With of course stopping to see some stars along the way!

 It started raining...but no worries, this momma was prepared with rain jackets for the group!  :)

Reese's was a little too big!  ha!

 The rain didn't last long but while it was going we took turns riding Space Mountain.  Ryne rode it with J and me first and loved it!  Then we switched with Pops and Gran Jan and she didn't like it as much the second time.  She didn't hate it but I don't think her tummy had settled from the first ride.  :)  By then the rain had stopped!

The Dumbo ride has been improved since we were there last...there are now two and a super fun waiting area!  We had no wait at all but walked through it and they will actually page you when it's time for you to get back in line so you can let your kids play while waiting!  Who knew Dumbo was that popular!  It was a huge hit with Reese...I mean huge!  So lit up and laughed the whole time and then wanted more when it was over.  So, Jeremy took her right back through while Ryne and I went to do a little roller coaster.  :)

She's begging "more"!

We headed to the Winnie the Pooh ride next and they had re-done that too!  They had some stuff for the kids to do while waiting which is always nice.  

 We did some other rides before going to watch the night parade...

 Then we did a couple more rides before claiming a spot for fireworks.  Reese had fallen asleep by this time and didn't even wake up with the loud bangs!  Ryne and I enjoyed snuggling a bit!

After that we headed to the bus to get back to our hotel.  It was a super long but fun day!
