Epcot

Our last day we did a quick stop at Epcot (and downtown disney).
Hayden loves seeing the "golf ball".

We ate dinner at the German buffet. It was very good. They had singers and Hayden went down to dance. He has no rhythm like his dad. Check him out in action here:


It was crowded that night b/c Whoopi Goldberg was doing the Candlelight Processional.

We did get to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus.


Hayden enjoyed the drums

Animal Kingdom

We visited Animal Kingdom. We got to ride the Safari, do the animal walk, and meet some characters.

We got to meet some Christmas Characters:


And the pooh ones:



Hayden loved the safari ride. We saw baby giraffes and baby elephants and he just kept screaming "baby giraffe" (or elephant). He loves pointing out any birds or ducks too. I guess we will have to make a trip to the zoo soon.

Disney's Hollywood Studios

Our next stop was Hollywood Studios. We immediately went to meet Buzz and Woody. The line wasn't too long but it took FOREVER. Hayden had a hard time in line but eventually got to meet his favorites. We didn't get to ride the toy story ride. the line was 2 hours! We tried to get a fast pass but they were all gone for the day except for at closing time! Crazy!


So we met Buzz and Woody...

Cars...


and Monsters Inc characters (another one of his favorites)


One of his favorite things from the entire vacation was watching the jedi training academy. When Darth Vader came out he went crazy. He was screaming "mommy its darth vader! My darth Vader!" When he is older I will sign him up for this little show. It is pretty cool, the kids learn light saber moves and then darth vader comes out to fight them.


We also got our official star wars picture. Mike and I got one on our first trip together. Last year we got a family one. This year we just got one with Hayden.



It was a fun day at Hollywood Studios. That night we went to see the Ice exhibit at the Gaylord. Pictures of that to follow...

Here are the rest of our pics: (see the previous post for Magic Kingdom pics)

Chef Mickey's and Magic Kingdom

Our first day we went to breakfast at Chef Mickey's. We were lucky to get in because all character meals were booked since it was free dining week.
Hayden was so excited he really didn't each much. He was screaming when Donald came near our table b/c he was excited. But once they got close he needed me to be with him. He still enjoyed the characters... He screamed all of their names when they were in his view, but wanted to be held to see them. Breakfast was fun and yummy.



Then we headed to magic kingdom. We got to do everything we wanted to with little wait time. Hayden enjoyed driving the cars, riding toy story, the merry go round and the train.


He loved the dance party parade and was so excited to see Woody and Jessie right in front of us. That ended when woody came to get him to dance. That scared him. He wanted to and was sad when he left but just couldn't do it. It was funny.


We got to meet some characters...


He enjoyed our mandatory ice cream sandwich from the bakery...


That night we saw them light the castle and watched the electrical parade which Hayden enjoyed, despite rude pushy people.
