Hollywood Studios

It's off to Hollywood Studios today.

We got there just after it opened and Dave tore off for the fast passes. The place was packed! As we walked by some of the major attractions the fast pass times were already hours away. But, it didn't slow us down!

Off for a visit with Buzz Lightyear and Woody. The line was long, but there were all sorts of interesting distractions along the way!

Finally our turn!

Then off to Disney Junior - Live on Stage. It was a very fun interactive show. Seating was on the floor.

Act I was preparations for Minnie's Birthday. There was a little moral lesson in each one of the acts....nicely done!

Next up was Bob the Builder and Friends

Baby Einstein's turn next.

The bubbles were a great hit!!

Captain Hook and Smee were the final act. Fun show!

Our fast pass time for The Magic of Disney Animation was on. There is a wonderful interactive space to do things and then you can actually have a lesson from one of the animators. There were only three spots left to draw, but the rest of us got to watch. While we were waiting for the lesson we went for a visit with Pooh.

It was the shortest line all day!

Three sweet guys!

Time for class - front and center for Dave and Ryan, Colin got a desk.

The instructor was great! She started with the very basic circles and lines and then moved on from there. Alot of the technique was familiar to Colin from his art classes. The results speak for themselves!

Ryan's Piglet!

Colin's Piglet

Dave's Piglet.

Superior job on those Piglets guys!

Time for a lunch break! It's been a very busy morning. We borrowed a table at the local burger/chicken place and had a quick lunch we had packed. Then off to a medium line at Star Tours - a visit to Star Wars places.

R2D2 was there!
C3PO too!
Quite a ride!!

Then off to a VERY LONG line at the Toy Story Midway Mania!
There was lots of entertainment along the way!

Mr. Potato Head was entertaining!
Next car is ours!!

Some last minute instructions from Mom....GREAT ride!

After all that waiting in line and sitting on rides it was time to let loose at the
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Playground! Great place to let off a little steam!

This place really is big!!

While the boys were running around Grandma and Grandpa slipped off to ride the Rock 'n' Roll Coaster....not as good as we thought it would be...but still fun! When we returned, Jill and Dave went.

Great tunnels - that you can see in and dark ones!
There goes Colin...
and Ryan next!

Colin

Ryan...
and Mom---where did she come from? Thought she was riding the roller coaster!!

After some great exercise we headed back to the restaurant for an ice cream break!

Ryan really knows how to enjoy ice cream!!
And now has a great new clean up tool!

After a great day at Hollywood Studios, we headed back to Epcot to see if we could get into Figment this time. We were successful. After that we headed for the jumping waters. The boys had a GREAT time there!!

That one missed him..needs more challenge!

Avoided that one...

Ah, why bother....
it's hot out here!

We wandered back to the World Showcase to get the stamps for the countries we missed. Jill was smart enough to bring their paddles! Colin was pretty dry by the time we got there.

England Done...

France....

Morocco too.

We wandered back to the car and then home. Jill and Dave headed out for a date night with dinner at the Cooking Place at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. The rest of us had cars mac and cheese and chicken and fell into bed! It was a very full and fun day!
