Tuesday we went to MGM Studios. One of our first stops was to the Playhouse Disney show. It has characters from the kid’s cartoons. While waiting in line, Joshua had one of his 2-year old meltdowns. Nathan figured out a new way of holding him so he can’t get his way.

The kids all enjoyed the show. They got to get up and dance and sing along with the characters. Here is a picture of Nathan and the kids watching the show.

After Playhouse Disney we managed to get a same day reservation for one of the kid’s favorite restaurants. It is called the Sci-Fi Diner and they seat you in cars and make it look like you are at a drive-in movie theater. They show clips from old movies and cartoons while you eat. Next we went to see Nathan’s favorite show… Lights, Motors, Action. Here is Nathan getting his weight lifting in for the day.

We decided to stay until dusk because we wanted to see the Osbourne Family lights that are displayed for the holidays. It is over 5 million lights that have been donated by a family from Arkansas. Joshua was a little worn out while waiting for the lights to come on.

The lights were amazing when they came on. They danced to Christmas music and they had soap sud snow coming down on the street. It was beautiful. Here are a few of the pictures that came out okay. The first is actually a three tiered tree that had three different colors that lit up. The second was of angels flying and the third is a picture of the manger scene which I was surprised to see displayed at Disney.

After seeing the lights we left and took a bus to the Grand Floridian hotel. I had seen a show on Food Network about the gingerbread house they do every year and I wanted to see it since we were there. It was really cool to buy cookies out of a gingerbread house. Here is a picture of the kids by the house and a picture of the list of ingredients used to make it.
