Orlando Day Three, Disney Day!

Bear with me this is long, I have a ton of pictures, and I want to remember everything for me, and my kids too. :)
Today it was really cold out!! The highs were 42*!! Very cold! Outside of our room the palm trees had ice on them!! Mark wasn't feeling the greatest, so we hung around the hotel to let the rain stop and so Mark could feel better. And of course, the kids were going to die because they were sooooo hungry!! (we only ate 2 times a day, because the meals were $60 a time for the 5 of us, so they were going to die of course!! ;)) So we ate a really good breakfast and got ready to go to Disney World~Hollywood Studios! The kids were super excited to go there! I was too! When we got there it was so cold out, and thankfully we all had hats and gloves and that helped sooo much. So we get there and rent a stroller, pay for tickets that were almost $800 for us 5 to get in to the park for 2 days. CRAZY! But ended up being so worth it! We walked in and found out the times for Beauty and the Beast Live, and then did a few other things before we watched it. We found a few characters to sign the books I made, 2 from the movie Up, Dog and Russell and then Mickey Mouse. The lines weren't crazy long or anything so we only had to wait about 15 minutes. We got some really good pictures too! (I am LOVING my new camera!!) After that we went to watch Beauty and the Beast, it was good, but super cold sitting on the metal benches. But Alyssah loved it, so it was worth it. When we were done with that we went to get some hot chocolate. It was good. We would purposly go into the shops to get warm. We then went on Star Tours, a star wars ride. It was fun, Jake wasn't too sure of it, but he said he liked it. After that we found Mater and Lighting McQueen from the movie Cars. The boys were excited about it, Alyssah wouldn't get out of her stroller to see them. We then went to watch the Little Mermaid show, it was half cartoon and half production. Alyssah really liked that one. Then we started making our way to the exit, it was closing. We did some shopping, I bought them all a Mickey Mouse hat, Jake and Alyssah's have the ears, and Josh didn't want that so we got him a regular hat. After we got back to the hotel, we went to eat at Jake's Restaurant. We met Homer Simpson and Bart Simpson. The kids had never seen the show, so they didn't know who they were. But it was fun. The kids slept so awesome too. Lots or memories were made today.

The ice on the trees. It was breezy and they weren't coming off! Crazy, this is Florida, and we wanted warm, but we made the best of it, there wasn't anything we could have done about it anyways.

The place where we ate at for breakfast had a room for kids that had a bed with a TV in it! They thought that was cool!

This little fountain/pool was a nice decorative thing at the hotel. The kids wanted to go see it. It was really cold out!! But at least it had stopped raining.

Taking the taxi to Disney! The kids were excited to see this sign!

So expensive! But worth it for us!

3 layers of clothes! A shirt, a sweatshirt and a coat. Plus hat and mittens.

Posing again, in her layers!! They all got a cute button that said 1st Visit!

We didn't get to meet the old man from the movie Up, but we saw him and took a pic of him.

She sat with this expression on her face the whole time. She said she loved it!

Bart Simpson! He pushed down there hats and he flicked Alyssah's mouse ears! They had no clue who he was, because they don't watch that show.

I am glad she didn't get scared of any charaters. She did really well!
