After 7 hours in the car with two surprisingly well behaved, quiet kids – we let them watch movies 6 of the 7 hours. the other hour they slept – we made it to Orlando where G and Deeda were already waiting on us. Albi and quickly passed off the kids and headed to meet Laura and Mike for dinner. We took two crummy pictures with Albi’s bad cell phone camera. Oh well the pictures are not indicative of the quality of time. It was great to catch up with one of my dearest friends that I don’t get to see nearly enough.
We got back to the hotel to find Copeland “waiting up on mommy” so we could snuggle in a double bed for the rest of the night!
The next morning, we got up early and rushed to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Mac had his heart set on fighting Darth Vader, and I read that only 12 kids are chosen for each show with 1 show occurring every hour. All the blogs, websites, etc that I read said we had to be there early and go straight to the sign up location to ensure he got a spot, and I was determined to make that happen. As soon as we got through the gates, Mac and Albi took off running to get a spot while the rest of headed for the fast pass line. 30minutes later, Mac was a confirmed participant in the 12:30 battle, we had our fast passes booked for the day, and I was in need of a tall coffee! I had forgotten how exhausting Disney can be and we hadn’t even ridden a ride yet.
Overall the day was great and the weather perfect. The highlight of Mac’s 5.5 years so far was definitely fighting Darth Vader and Copeland later told us the best part of his day in Disney was “watching Mac fight Darth Vader!” We rode the Star Wars ride, took pictures with Lightening McQueen and Mater and played in the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground – another {surprising} favorite of the day. By about 4 everyone was tired, so we called it a day. All Disney parks are exhausting for parent and child, but there is nothing like seeing your child’s eyes light up with excitement over the magic that only Disney can provide. Here’s to another great day at Disney World!
Next up…the Disney Cruise!
