Disney 2016: Day 4

6:10 a.m.
We are officially on Disney time... And today we are going to Hollywood studios! They open at 8:45, and we are going to be standing at the gates! We didn't get back until late last night, and then after packing park bags and showers... It was late. So I forgot to say goodnight, and I apologize!

Today I am wearing a Tinkerbell tank top from the Disney outlet a few years ago, Old Navy athletic shorts, Teva sandals, Glitter Minnie Ears from Jane/Etsy, my magic band and FitBit, and my hair just scrunched like any other day.

10:25 a.m.
We just sat down to watch Voyage of The Little Mermaid! We got in a few minutes early this morning, and have since rode Rock n' Roller coaster and Star Tours.

Since Star Wars is so popular right now it has became Hollywood Studios main focus.  They built the "Launch Bay" with memorabilia, and character meet and greets.  They organized a fireworks show (aside from Fantasmic, Star Wars replaced the Frozen craze), and have hourly shows in the middle of the park.  After the shows end the characters go back to their doors to go backstage scattered around the park, so you see character waling around all the time!  We saw a whole line of Stormtroopers...

R2D2, who moves on his own I might add...

and Darth Maul!  He was cool looking and a bit scary!

11:31
Frozen Sing Along time!
My preteen brother was toooootally too cool to be there, but I was loving it!

2:50 p.m.
We had ate a late lunch at Mama Melrose! 

We had calamari and caesar salad as an appetizer, and then I steak with macaroni (best steak ever) for my meal. 

We shared two dessert platters that had an orange sponge cake, tiramisu, and passion fruit cheesecake.

We always choose Mama Melrose because we can do the Fantasmic Dinner package.  You pay a set price for the meal and get an appetizer, salad, dinner, and dessert, and tickets to the show!

After watching the Frozen Sing Along earlier we had a bit of a rest, and then went to watch the Muppets show.  It is by far one of our favorites in this park!

They have the cutest fountain outside of the muppets theatre!

5:00 p.m.
Just sat down to watch Beauty and the Beast!

It is the cutest show and we always love it, but they need to add a few more fans to this 90 degree outdoor theatre!

6:00 p.m.
We finally got to watch Indiana Jones! As many times as we've been to Disney now it has always been too crowded or shut down for weather or something that prevents us from riding it!

And after we used a fastpass for the Tower of Terror!  It is by far one of our favorites!

9:00 p.m.
After Indiana Jones we saw Olaf!

He didn't even have that long of a wait, I was shocked!  And he was soooo cute!  So many warm hugs!

And then we used a fast pass for the Great Movie ride!

We skipped it the first couple of times we came, but after we finally gave it a shot I was really impressed!  It takes you through scenes of different iconic movies (not just Disney!) with a tour guide!  It is also interactive, because either a gangster or cowboy take over your tour and interact with different scenes!

We also rode Toy Story Mania, which is one of our favorites, and after getting out we got to see the Green Army Men!  That was a first!

I just love this whole area, it makes you feel like a toy!

And the signs are super cute.

Though they don't sign autographs, you can have your picture taken with no wait, and then after playing some games with us they marched away!

 Now we are about to watch Hollywood Studio's fireworks show, Fantasmic!  But before we go, how about a Mickey pretzel??

The ending of Fantasmic is my favorite, I love seeing them all on the boat with Steamboat Mickey!


12:00 a.m.
It's been a long day and Fantasmic was fantastic... But now time for bed, see you all tomorrow!



Thank you all so much for reading! I thought it would be fun to have a little summer Disney sun to brighten up snowy winter days!  If you missed yesterday you can see Day 3 here, or go to the Disney 2016 tag to see the full series!

What's in my... Toiletry Roll

I would just like to let you all know that I am packing for a twelve day trip, so for some of you this might not be enough, for some it may be to much. It all depends on personal preference and this is what I have found works for me! I would also like you to know that we are going to be driving everywhere on this vacation, so to an extent I don't have to worry about how much I pack or the sizes of my products. This is my Toiletry Roll  that I hang on the back of the door in the bathroom wherever we are staying. I am going to go through pocket by pocket and show you what I am bringing. In the Top Pocket I have mostly random things. I have Band-aids for small cuts and blisters Q-Tips Safety Pins, in case a strap breaks or something And the brown thing on the left side is a bra clip for razor back tank tops In the Second Pocket  I have skincare things Hawaiian Tropic Clear Sense Sunscreen SPF 4 Travel pack of equate Makeup Remover Wipes And in...

Beach Bags

Ok so new update on how to pack a beach bag. But Warning before hand! The way my family packs for the beach it takes three regular sized people and a seven year old to carr y! I'm going to beak this down into the separate bags that we carry. My Bag My personal Sunscreen, such as your facial sunscreen. This would also be the category for tanning lotions and oils. Two towels. One to lay on or put in your chair, and one to wrap up in or wipe out your eyes. My beach mat! It is straw with pink edges it rolls up perfectly and fits in my bag. I got mine at Target but IDK if they still sell them or not, try  www.windycitynovelties.com/straw-beach-mats Plastic Bags or Sandwich bags to put pretty seashells in! A Book or a Magazine, or both!  The Christy Miller Series , like I've suggested at the bottom of the page,  by Robin Jones Gunn is a good beach read mainly because they take place on a beach! A Camera, this is my absolute best friend...

Best Beach Ever!

So... I am debating on if I should even share this with you because it is so amazing! This is the most absolutely amazing beach I have ever been to in my life! It is Emerald Isle NC it is perfect!  So in my mind it is so perfect because: It is on the beautiful coast of North Carolina (which is where I live, and where I love!) It's name is Emerald ISLE so its on a cute little island (Duh!), at some places o the island you can see the Bogue Sound (yes this is a body of water, and yes this is a real place) and the Atlantic Ocean on the other It is a quite little town so everyone if friendly, and the beaches are never crowded There is a nice little aquarium just up the island a bit The is a little shopping center called Emerald Plantations that includes a movie theater , restaurants, shops, and a river where you can feed Sea Turtles (this is especially fun because there's one that is bigger than my six year old brother! It lives at the bottom and only comes up occasiona...
