Disney Part 4

12/17 - Disney's Hollywood Studios

We slept in, then headed to Disney's Hollywood Studios around noon. The first thing we did was see Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage. It was fantastic!!! We also saw Playhouse Disney Live on Stage and Voyage of the Little Mermaid. Claire fully enjoyed both. For lunch, we headed to Hollywood and Vine where we had lunch with Special Agent Oso and a few of the kids from Little Einsteins. It was a great surprise, since we didn't realize it was a character lunch until we were waiting for our table and we saw Special Agent Oso through the window. Claire was absolutely thrilled!

Later, we waited a little more than 40 minutes to see Buzz Lightyear and Woody from Toy Story. It was a long wait, but Claire's face lit up when she got to hug each of them and pose for pictures. She realizes that they, along with all of the characters, are in costumes, but she still loves meeting all of them. We finished our day at the Fantasmic show which was awesome - fireworks, lasers, Sorcerer Mickey fighting off villains. It was truly amazing and worth the 60 minutes we waited in the amphitheater to ensure we got seats for the show. Even at 60 minutes prior to showtime, 75%  of the seats were already taken! It is a very popular show!

We ended our day by having dinner in the Animal Kingdom Lodge at Boma, a buffet with an African influence.
