So life got away from me before I could finish blogging about our amazing family trip to Disney. Here is day 2!
We
started off early, heading to Hollywood Studios. There was a 30 minute
wait in line, where Colin lost his magicband (because nothing says
family vacation like losing your ticket into your first park!) He had
left it over by the gift shop. Thankfully I had already written my cell
phone number on the inside, however, the gift shop attendant had not
looked!
Our first stop was the Muppets in 3D. Connor and Keith sneaked off to do the Star Wars Tours (twice!). The rest of us put on our 3D glasses for some Muppet magic!
I do have to say, one of the best parts of the Magicbands is the ability to book your fast passes well in advance. We knew what three things we "had" to do and what time to be there, and the rest of the day was just wandering and doing other fun things. We had fast passes for the Frozen Sing-a-long, and it was nice not to have to wait in line very long.
We wandered around The Streets of America, as well as Pixar Place and Animation Courtyard, meeting characters and then headed back to Pizza Planet for lunch!
We also hitched a ride on the Toy Story Midway Mania - one of favorite rides!
After lunch, we had time until our next fast pass, so we headed over to "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" play lot so the kids could burn off some energy. Then as we headed over to "Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Adventure", we met some more friends along the way! (You will notice that Keira is missing from most character pictures. She preferred to just wave from the distance.)
We ended the day at Downtown Disney - checking out the T-Rex Restaurant. It was amazing! As a family who avoids food dye, I was worried about mac and cheese (Colin's favorite!) but the chef came out to talk to us when I asked some questions. And then he personally made Colin his own dish of (food dye free) delicious mac and cheese, and served it to him!
