Disney Day 3: Hollywood Studios

This was my favorite day. Our kids love Star Wars and know more about the movies than I do. 

Lots of time on the bus!

We arrived at the park early to get in line for Jedi Training. After 45 minutes in line the girls had a spot reserved in the 12:45 training camp. 

By the time 12:45 rolled around Charlie was not sure about this Jedi Training. She did not want to have to fight Darth Vader. We did resort to bribery to get her to participate. 

All the Jedi's await the battle.

I think something evil is coming out of the temple!


Jedi Charlie ponders what she has gotten herself into.

Jedi Evy learns to use her lightsaber.

Oh no! Darth Vader!

Oh my! The Seventh Sister!

Evy fights the Seventh Sister!

Charlie prepares for battle.


Charlie defeats the Seventh Sister!

Use the force! It's Kylo Ren! Jedi Charlie is backing away from Kylo Ren's stare. 

The Force is strong! Kylo Ren has nearly retreated to the temple. Jedi Charlie feels safer in the back row.

Even strong Jedis need their sister. 

Throughout the day the Imperial March comes down main street. I don't even care for Star Wars and I thought the march was really cool. 

You can fall into line behind the storm troopers and march with them for awhile.






There are a few non Star Wars attractions as well. We ran into Olaf!



Probably one of our favorite character meetings; Chewbacca!


The Tower of Terror is in the background. We didn't tell the kids anything about it beforehand. 

Action shot from the Tower of Terror. Evy says she kinda liked it and kinda didn't.

Disney Day 2: Magic Kingdom


On day 2 we went back to Magic Kingdom for a full day at the park. We started off with Disney's Philharmagic which proved that the magic at Disney's World truly is in the shows and performers. We loved the show and decided to catch as many shows as possible during our trip.




Next, we had breakfast at Cinderella's castle where we got to first meet Cinderella and then have Aurora, Snow White, Ariel, and Jasmine stop by our table. This was a pretty slick way to meet all of the princesses without having to stand in line. 







We were able to catch a welcome ceremony for Princess Elena. She is the newest princess so they were welcoming her to Magic Kingdom. 




The crowds were low at the park so we enjoyed the short lines. We were able to race each other at Tomorrowland Speedway.


 



The parade was so fun. Lots of great floats and characters. We were standing directly in the sun so our pictures did not turn out so well.

Meeting Princess Tiana:




 And Rapunzel


We didn't have enough energy to last until fireworks but the girls did want to sneak one last character meeting in for the night so we saw Tinkerbell before heading back to the bus.
