Disney, Day 2

We were up and at 'em bright and early. Noah's vacation started with a special Pirate Adventure.
He went on a boat in search of real live treasure - without mom and dad.
(You can read about the adventure here.) He was off on a pontoon for two hours while mom and dad wondered around waiting for him to return.
Coincidentally, the very first person we ran in to was Christopher's barber. Go figure! The second thing we saw was this.
Is he not ugly? No offense, turtle... But back to our son. As luck would have it, the secret treasure was located right in the resort where his adventure began. He was pretty happy with his loot.
One of our intentions for the trip was to let Noah take the reins as much as possible. So, once he was done pirating around, Noah knew he wanted to go to "The Hat". (That's Hollywood Studios, for the rest of us.)
First stop - Toy Story Mania, of course.
Wading through Andy's room is almost as much fun as the ride itself.
Almost. For the record, Noah got the most points this time around.

Going to Florida in June meant it was either raining or really, really hot. We got these fancy ponchos
but every time we put them on it stopped raining. We were okay with that. Water stops were always welcome, none the less.
Our trip coincided with Star Wars Weekends (no accident, I assure you). So there were some extra staging areas just screaming to be explored - by Noah and daddy.
We spent some time dancing with our Playhouse Disney friends.
Noah visited with some of his favorites - Mickey and the brooms
and Sully and Mike "A-sow-ski."
And he spent a long time playing at the "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!" play area.
Then it was back to the hotel for some water play
and some much-needed rest.
