Wednesday @ Disney

We got up early and went back to Hollywood Studios on Wednesday morning. We got through the gates and watched their welcome show, then headed straight for Toy Story Midway Mania. Literally everyone else did the exact same thing. I got in the Fastpass line and got passes for 10:45. As I was waiting in line I was watching the return time flip through in 5 minute increments. It was incredible, but I was happy we were going to get to ride it without waiting an hour. We went to watch Playhouse Disney Live. The puppets were a little hard to see from the floor where we sat, but the kids loved it anyway. After the show we took Andrew to see Lighting and Mater again. On our way we got stopped in the street to let the Power Rangers drive out. Our kids have never seen the Power Rangers but they loved them. We had to come back an hour later to get in line for Evie to get a picture with the pink one. After lunch we watched Muppets 3D. Andrew did not like it. He kept saying the bee was going to get his nose. We decided to head back to the room after that. Nana and Papa took off for their night at Epcot, Andrew took a much needed nap, and Evie got to go swimming (outside in December!). We decided that Andrew really needed to see the fireworks at the Magic Kingdom, so we ate dinner in Everything Pop and got in line for the MK bus. That was our worst bus experience while we were there. 59 minutes to get to the Magic Kingdom, over twice as long as it should have taken. We finally made it there at 6:45. The parade started at 7, so we were worried about getting through the crowd, but we ended up just walking down Main Street while everyone else was crammed on the sidewalks to watch the parade. We rode 7 rides in 45 minutes with virtually no waiting. We got to stay on the roller coaster three times because no one else was waiting to get on. At 7:45 we went back down Main Street and stood near the exit to watch the fireworks. The view was great from there, it wasn't too crowded, and we got out quickly. It was also easier to see Tinkerbell "fly" off the castle from further away. The kids were so excited to have that special night with Mom and Dad.
