Disney Day 3 - Hollywood Studios

The next park we visited was Hollywood Studios, which Mark and I absolutely loved.  It was cool and, with a few exceptions, probably geared more toward kids that are a little older and for adults who love movies.  We certainly enjoyed it, but we learned our lesson with Zoe.  We got her up (after such a long day/night at Epcot the day before) and got to the park before it opened.  By about 1:30 p.m. Zoe proceeded to have her one meltdown of the trip.  I kept asking her, "How can you be unhappy when we're at the happiest place on earth?"  Anyway, we left the park to head back to the hotel and Zoe literally fell asleep leaned against me on the shuttle bus.  That's when Mark and I made the decision that we weren't going to wake our child up again to be at a park at a certain time.  We decided that we would let her sleep in and when she got up, we would head to the park.  It worked out perfectly because we had one happy kid for the rest of the trip.  We let her take a nap after we got back to the room (actually....all of us took a nap) and then we headed back to Hollywood Studios for dinner and to take in more of the park. Check out the pics:

On the tour we actually went on a live movie set.  
It's amazing what sort of special effects they can actually do!

The cleaning ladies would make Zoe some random animals out of towels each day.
This day she was asleep when we got the room, but they had actually posed
them with her baby.  Too sweet really!

Our friendly little squirrel who had no fear of humans.  Zoe was feeding him chips!

At one point he started climbing on the wheel of Zoe's stroller!

At the end of the day we have one happy Zoe with her Stitch doll!
