Day 2 started off with lots of excitement. It was going to be our only non-conference day while we were there so we got to spend the entire day with Ryan!
We decided to start out at Hollywood studios because we were dying to get on Toy Story Mania. It's actually a 3-d "target shooting" type of game and we went on it on our Honeymoon, but when we went last year with the Easler's we couldn't even get a FastPass for it!!!!
We decided to wait in line instead of getting a fast pass for it and Aidan was relatively good considering I think we were in line for close to 30 minutes.
They do have lots of fun stuff to look at while you wait and our favorite was a giant animatronic Mr. Potatohead that sings and tells jokes. Well at one point he says a joke and pulls his own ear out, and dropped it! Everyone laughed and we could all tell that wasn't supposed to happen. So like 10 minutes later we see a ride attendant come out and grab a step stool, climb up and put his ear back in. Of course we all applauded, haha!

Aidan loved it! He even kept his 3D glasses on for most of it!
Ryan had the high score for our car.....
When we were done with that we decided to go across the way and get in line for the Buzz and Woody meet n greet. This was a fun one because while you wait in line there are lots of Toy Story themed things for you to take pictures with. My personal favorite was the Claw. (The claw is our master....the claw has chosen...., et etc.)
We saw there was a short line for pictures with the Green Army Man just outside the buzz and woody spot so Ryan hopped into line for Buzz and Woody and Aidan and I went to meet the army guy. Aidan was willing to give him his book for his autograph but wouldn't get close enough for me to take his picture with him (the green army man was standing at a salute for pics, it was really cute).
By the time we got to our turn to meet the characters Woody was gone and it was just Buzz! Bummer.
Oh well, Aidan told me Buzz was his favorite (he was Buzz last year for Halloween (Austen was Woody) and when we went to the Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom, he got to meet Buzz and have his picture with him all while dressed as him...my fave pictures ever!!) and when we offered up our official autograph pen, Buzz shook his head and pulled out a rubber stamper, haha. He then tapped the side of his head like he was "always thinking"....it was pretty cute.
After meeting Buzz it was time to head over to Hollywood and Vine for yet another character meal. This time it was the "Play n Dine" which features all the toddler-aged Disney Jr. stars, such as Handy Manny, Little Einstein's, Special Agent Oso, Jake and The Neverland Pirates, etc.
Where we were seated I didn't have a great place for photo ops, but we tried to get a few salvageable shots. Aidan met June from Little Einstein's, before my camera was out :( , then he met Oso, Handy Manny and Jake.
There are also little "shows" every 20 minutes or so and there is dancing and singing and all the kids can join in. Super fun if you have a toddler. It's even buffet-style and since Aidan is under 3 we didn't even have to pay for him!
After that we headed over to the Phineas and Ferb meet n greet where they pulled people out of line to participate in a "movie". Ryan and Aidan got pulled in and it was hilarious. There was a "director" and he told everyone what to do, etc etc. They got to dance in a movie "scene", and that killed so much time while we were waiting in line that by the time they were done it was almost our turn to meet Phineas and Ferb!
....to be continued
