Disney Hollywood Studios, day 3

Disney Hollywood Studios was our day 3--and we were all starting to hit a bit of a wall, so it was a good place to be that day.  The main attractions were some of the Disney Jr. characters, Beauty and the Beast, muppets, and a little Mermaid show.
The nice part about Hollywood studios was that most of the shows (not too many rides here) were actually shows with people and puppets or characters, so that was engaging and different.  The bad side, however, was that after 2 days or rides, they girls weren't so sure about all the sitting and waiting--even though we tried to prepare them.

We got to see Mickey Mouse clubhouse, Sophia the first, Doc McStuffins and the neverland pirates.  We also saw the Little Mermaid show, and rode a Buzz lightyear arcade game ride they loved--it was a shooting game in 3D.  We also saw a 3D muppet movie!

While Cora took her daily afternoon snooze, Bean and I caught the Beauty and the Beast show on stage, that was pretty cool, even this isn't one of her favorite movies--she enjoyed the staged shows.

Then after some more shows, snacks, and dinners, we stuck around for the Fantasmic show. It was a combination of fireworks, water, other effects, and a lot of floats and choreography.  There were a few scary villain parts where Cora jumped up on my lap, but overall very neat.

The announcer said the amphitheater held 7000 people, and it was packed--so we had another late night in the park, then straight to the tram, then car.  The girls still weren't used to staying up late, but they were real troopers.

The show really incorporated a lot of movies, and again, being Halloween time, focused a lot on the villains, that was cool.

In the good, Mickey wins though, and all was right.  We passed on any of the glowing toys--and the girls really didn't even ask--I was super proud of Eric on all his spending, he really tamed it (at times, haha).
