Legend of Me: 2015 April Vacation - Orlando, Florida

2015 April Vacation - Orlando, Florida - Day 6:

Hollywood Studios:

This year we decided to skip Epcot and Animal Kingdom and check out Hollywood Studios. We had not been since the very first time we took the boys back in 2009 (Evan wasn't even born yet!). We thought the boys would get a kick out of the Star Wars attractions, and they did!

We figured out the fast passes, but was unable to get one for the most popular ride there - Toy Story Midway Mania. So we knew we would need to make sure we got that done right away. Even getting there first thing, we still had to wait 30 minutes!

Waiting in line! The queue was fun for this ride.

They were good sports about the line.

After that ride we were going to head over to find out about getting the boys into the Jedi Training Academy. But first we stopped in the Honey I Shrunk the Kids Play area.

They are so tiny!

We got the boys signed up just in time! They made the very last class at 7:30pm. That meant we would be having dinner at the park and so we made plans to spend a little more time and head back to the house for lunch and a rest. But first we got to meet up with Phineas and Ferb!

The boys with Phineas & Ferb!

After our lunch break at the house we headed back to the park in time for our Fast Pass to the Disney Jr. show. I think the boys enjoyed meeting Jake after the show the most!

Evan had just given Jake a gold doubloon he got from the show.

Jake really liked David's shark tooth necklace!

It was really hot, so we stopped to get a treat before our next Fast Pass to see the Indiana Jones stunt show.

Ice Cream Faces!

Grandmothers waiting for the show to start.

After the stunt show (which was so fun!), we headed back over to where the Disney Jr show as, there is an area over there where you can meet different Disney characters and I had heard that Baymax would be there! He is my favorite. The line was long but I really wanted to have my picture with him. I told everyone that they didn't have to wait with me and so some people headed over to ride on the Tower of Terror, a ride I would never, ever go on! The wait took so long because Baymax needed a mandatory 15 minute break...we were 3 families back when that happened so if we had only arrived just a little earlier. Oh well. It was worth the wait!

Baymax and Hiro!

We finished with Baymax in time for our Fast Pass to the Rock N Roller Coaster. I was forced to go on because of the whole waiting around for Baymax thing. I can't say it was my favorite but I survived.

I think my face says it all...

Then it was time to grab a bite to eat before heading back to the Jedi Academy for the boys to become Padawans. This was probably the highlight of the day. The boys had so much fun fighting Darth Vader. The show was really cute and the lady who lead the group was really funny!

Waiting for instructions from their leader.

Since there were not too many pictures of us from the trip we snagged a quick shot before the show started!

The show starts out with instructions on how to use your light saber. Then they go over the moves they will need to master in order to defeat Darth Vader!
