Day 4- Hollywood Studios and More

Christmas Eve, we opened what presents we brought.  Mostly we got the kids some things to entertain them at the house during our off time... which, as it turns out, wasn't a lot of off time.  One of the things we got was a United States floor puzzle.  Owen was amazing with this puzzle!!  I took away the box top so he couldn't see what it looked like and he completed the whole thing by himself without looking at the box or getting help!  He knew where they all went!  It was impressive.

Our 3rd day was spent at Hollywood Studios and it was also Christmas Day.
 The kids got a special treat today and got their faces painted.


 Mase didn't but I think he wanted to :).
 The toy story characters were a big hit!  Buzz doesn't sign his autograph, he has a stamp and uses that... the kids thought that was great.  Owen was really excited to see them but stood off to the side and took his own pictures with his camera.

 We ate our Christmas day meal with the characters from Disney Junior.
Dan's Mom, Carolee, tried out for American Idol!  Hollywood Studios has a set there and each day people try out and at the end of the day if you are a winner, I guess you get a golden ticket that will get you to the front of the line on the real auditions.
She was fun to watch!  It was cool to see how they did the show.  They made it seem real.

We left and came back to Hollywood studios.  It was really packed.  Disney does a great job with crowd control, but Hollywood Studios and Epcot are not as big and do not have the rides and attractions to the degree that Magic Kingdom or Animal Kingdom do.  Plus it being Christmas Day... it was a little more than crowded!  We had to wait awhile for the Fantasmic show, but the kids enjoyed lighting themselves up!
