He figured out that characters are fun!
When we went back to meet Mickey and Minnie, he pinched both their noses first thing. :)
Luckily one of the girls had an extra pair of sandals in her backpack.
They all switched shoes, and it worked for the whole day. Whew!
Kelly LOVES Flynn Rider (Eugene Fitzherbert) from Tangled.
She has a thing for animated men.
So, she REALLY wanted to meet Eugene and get some pictures with him.
But no, he was "off galivanting throughout the kingdom for the past 4 weeks."
Actually, he hasn't been there since the opening of the Tangled area.
Kelly was heartbroken.
But, we did get to meet Rapunzel.
Anthony likes Tangled next to the Toy Story movies.
He LOVED her!
She interacted with Anthony and talked to him a lot.
Rapunzel was the first princess to call Anthony a prince, that I noticed.
All the boys were princes and the girls were princesses.
They loved him, and Anthony loved them.
He sure knows who the ladies are. ;)
I didn't think he would, but we tried anyway.
I love the gate.
While he and I were waiting for everyone else to get off the Indiana Jones ride, I let him go out in just a diaper for a few minutes to air out...as much as one can air out in humid Florida.
We saw Phineas and Ferb!!
On our way toward the exit, the Commander from Toy Story stopped us, pointed to our Make a Wish buttons and motioned for us to have photos taken.
He was so sweet.
Where Anthony was freaked out by characters that were less life-like, and he loved real-looking ladies (princesses), he was not freaked out by this guy, and he actually kept staring at him in awe.

All through Disney though, he kept pointing to Cars toys and grunting, communicating that he wanted them...
Here was a huge billboard that he was pointing up to.
Anthony loved this show in Seattle (and I love it too, because then I could get a shower in peace).
And yes, A pinched Manny's nose.
We retreated back to our van, back to GKTW, and had some ice cream in the Ice Cream Palace.
Kelly was having fun talking to the volunteers there.
So, we headed over after dinner.
A little extreme on the make up, but she liked it.
Daniel helping Anthony get out of the water and ready to be a pirate.
Maggie made up to be a princess.
The princesses were standing around or something, and Anthony walked right over, sat down in the middle and started his excited dance.
They were entranced by him, and sat down to talk and giggle with him.
Meeting Shamu the Pirate at GKTW...and pinching the nose.
Daniel holding Anthony in the pirate line.
Part of the princess line.
I thought they were all volunteers from the Orlando area, like a lot of the regular GKTW volunteers.
I asked two of them if they belonged to an organization or what.
They were television stars on MTV and Survivor...can you tell I don't watch tv.
There were some from Big Brother and some other shows, but I don't remember which.
I think maybe they were humbled, by their expressions of incredulity when I asked.
The day before, we got our free parking in the regular lot, and took a tram with hundreds of other people. This day, we were shown to the handicapped parking lot, which was just a tiny walk to the park. It was interesting the different things that different employees at different parks (and even at the same parks) offered for us being a Make a Wish family. We are grateful to them all, to the parks, to the MAW foundation, and to our angel sponsors.
I think there's only one more main post for the trip. And, I'll probably add more pictures when the cd from Disney comes.

Oh man how i miss that place! Florida is definitely on our future trip place. I miss GKTW and the constant ice cream trips. I was super disappointed in the Magic Kingdom, I'll take my Disneyland any day. But Universal and Disney's Hollywood studios were favorites! I was so bummed because we didn't have MAW buttons, only our GKTW buttons. Dang!
