Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Downtown Disney

Pictures from the "other" parks on the DisneyWorld property... Epcot Center, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Downtown Disney...
Daisy was there to meet us at Epcot. Ryann kept her distance from all of the characters.
The Adayla and Tally were THRILLED to meet the Little Einsteins at Hollywood Studios
Beauty and the Beast was great... perfect people for both Belle and Gaston.
Adayla and Tally like spinning more than Daddy does...
Who needs a bed?
Mission Space is a flight simulator to space. It's actually a bit violent (and fun!)
Tim took Adayla on the ride. Scared adults were amazed that a little girl wasn't scared. They didn't think of two things... Adayla had NO idea what she was in for, and that kids love spinning rides (spinning necessary to generate the G-forces)
After the ride, we realized that this ride made a HUGE impression on Adayla... she actually thought that we flew to "real space" and flew right past the moon. With all of her enthusiasm, we didn't know how to tell her that it was just a ride (so we didn't)
Epcot's has several "countries" that you can visit. Without bias, the best was China! China definitely has invested heavily in their displays... Here's the Temple of Heaven.
Throughout our time at the Disney parks and SeaWorld we met lots of Chinese college students. Free Chinese lessons for the girls!
"China" can be seen next to Norway...
Gramps watching one of the many street shows at Hollywood Studios
Ryann outside of the American Idol show...
Every day contestants are screened in the morning and the top 15 are divided up into five shows of three contestants. The winners from those rounds compete in a final round with the winner of that getting a guaranteed chance to audition at the next American Idol tryouts. The show even has a "Randy," "Paula" and a British-speaking/blunt "Simon"
The Lego Store at Downtown Disney was a hit. Had no idea how that the kids would like playing with Legos so much... they totally did.
We couldn't take Ryann away from her Legos.
Adayla styling...
Tally posing...
Cute little pirates
Ryann needing a moment
The Disney Vacation Club booths all gave out stickers...
Ryann put them all on!
A picture with Tigger and Winnie and that's all from the Disney parks!

Gosh, it's been WAY to long since I've checked in. I can't believe how big Tally and Adayla are.

What a fun trip! Looks like a blast.
