Day 2- Disney Studios and Princesses at Epcott

We started the day at Disney Studios.  Home of the giant Mickey hat.
Happy Sasha!  Excited to go to a new park today.
Leeza claimed the stroller this morning.  They trade off pretty good whenever one gets a little tired.  Plus with them pushing each other, they don't run off and get lost.
We found Minnie Mouse by the big hat

They have the autograph book system down and know how to be ready for the autograph.
Minnie was very sweet and did not rush the girls.  Here she is blowing Sasha a kiss.
Sasha had to run back and give her one last hug.  I have very sweet girls.  We only did a few rides- The Great Movie ride, then over to Little Mermaid show and then ran as fast as possible to the Jack and the Never Land Pirates show which we just got in as they were closing the doors.  We then saw the Beauty and the Beast Show.  There were a couple more things they might have liked, but by now they were starting to droop.  We go early and after a few hours, we need a break.
So it is back to the hotel to go to the pool.  They have a kid area with a pirate ship in it.  We stayed here today since I did not feel like swimming.
They had a good time here and played for a few hours.
Up the stairs, down the slide, repeat endlessly.
Here is the pirate ship with the dump bucket on top.
After our break,we were off to Epcott.  The great ball, also known as Spaceship Earth, is a good photo op.
This is the other side of Soaceship Earth.  We went on the ride and did fine.  It was a little long for the girls, but not bad.
The fountain of the nations is in the background.
We had dinner reservations at the Akerhaus Princess Hall in Norway, but we stopped by Mexico to get one more Donald Duck photo.
Over in the Living Seas, we went to Turtle Talk with Crush, then on the Clam shell ride and walked around  the exhibits.  Here the girls are inside the big shark from Nemo.
Practicing to be sharks, the girls show their big shark teeth.
Then it was off to Norway to meet the Princesses.  Even though we had reservations, we still had a little wait.  Belle greeted us in the lobby in her ballgown.

Once inside we met the princesses after a short wait.
Sleeping Beauty got Sahsa out of her shell and into the Princess mood.
Happy girls meeting the princesses.
Belle held Leeza's interest, but Sasha is looking at some food!
The restaurant is pretty crowded, but the princesses have it figured out.  No way to take a full length picture though.
Snow White was our last princess.
Sasha had to explain that she had a picture of Snow White on her shoe.  Snow White was impressed and made a big deal out of that.
I think Snow White really looked like the one in the movie.  She was very nice.  They had a princess parade where the kids march around the restaurant and the girls went, but they didn't like it.  It is too crowded to really march much.  After this, it was back to the hotel for bed time.
