Today we went to Hollywood Studios for the day and it was an excellent day. We started off with Mickey and Minnie's Railroad and that was probably Joshua's favorite.
We then headed over to the StarWars land. We got on Millenium Falcon twice because the line was nice and short. Joshua enjoyed being a gunner while the rest of us tried different jobs the second time. Turns out that we're not very good pilots. I was able to follow the story a lot better the second time, and I'm not sure if it was because it was the second time or if it was because I could see the screen better.
After we got off Joshua bee-lined to the gift shop: he knew what he wanted, and that was a Empire-themed shirt. We tried the blue and green milk; I liked the blue milk better by far. It was more refreshing while the green milk was more sugary.
We then went on the big ride of the day: Rise of the Resistance. It was cool but there was so much to see.
We got a few fun pictures in the area too. Using the force...
From there we went to the Toy Story area for a while. We waited in our longest line for Toy Story, although it was only about an hour. Joshua was almost done by the time we got to the front of the line, but I had thrown their phones in the backpack and that helped a lot. I also had a new puzzle toy that was a pretty big hit with the kids, but only one person could use it at a time.
Cheryl and Joshua did the Alien ride. It had been one of Joshua's top picks and since he really didn't want to do Tower of Terror they were able to quickly do that one instead.
Then it was suddenly lunch time! We went to Woody's Lunch Box and the logistics could have been better. We mobile ordered our food, but it felt like a crowded and confusing rush to actually get the food. I guess it worked out because seating was also in short supply, so having to wait for the food gave Ben and the kids time to get a table. The food was really good though. All the adults had totchos and I would totally recommend them.
After lunch we had some time until the next planned activity and we had been going all morning so we did some of the sit down shows. I do love the muppets and the Indiana Show was not at all what I was expecting, but it was still really cool. We also went back to Star Wars Tours.
Then it was time for our next big ride: Slinky Dog. It was Joshua's first real roller coaster and possibly Isaac's too. Isaac throughly enjoyed it, Joshua was pretty happy with it too. It was just the right amount of scary for him. I also enjoyed it. During the second *up* I thought there was going to be a big down, but then it was a nice gentle crest.
Ben did an amazing job with the lightning lane stuff that they have and so we rode Toy Story again, this time using the short line. I improved my score, so I was quite happy about that.
Dinner at Prime Time was next. I had the meatloaf and some of Joshua's jello salad.
Then the Tower of Terror with Isaac. We walked right on due to the fast pass; it was amazing. Isaac was giggling the whole ride which was hilarious. I find that ride slightly scary, but to giggle? It made me giggle too.
Ben had booked another Mickey's Railroad just in case we had time so we went over there. The line, even the fast line, was a little long so it took a bit longer than we were hoping but Joshua really wanted to do it again. We had been planning on Fantasmic but by the time we were out it was just a bit too late and we decided to just go home. It was probably an excellent decision; the lines for the skytram were shorter, people were starting to hurt, and we had had a late evening and early morning today.
Overall: an excellent day.
We came home to find the lovies relaxing and watching TV.
