Today was a great day for the boys. They really seemed to enjoy this park a great deal.
As we walked in, we saw bits and pieces of the High School Musical 3 street show. We went straight to Toy Story Mania and got fast passes (the wait was already an hour long). Then we high-tailed it to the back of the park so we could meet the Power Rangers.
We were first in line for the Red Ranger from SPD.
This was SO COOL for the boys. If you've been reading my blog for any length of time, you know that my boys are huge fans of these guys. It was really fun to meet them.
We let them run around the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground for a little bit while the adults got to rest.
We got some pictures with Lightning McQueen and Mater. Then, we saw Muppet Vision 3D - enjoyable in spite of its' age. While my mom, Bull, and myself ate lunch, Gator and Granddaddy went on Star Tours - Gator's first "real" ride. Apparently, he was apprehensive at first, but really enjoyed it. By the way, the gift shop at the end of this ride has a station where you can make your own light saber. Had I known that such a place existed, we would not have bought the Mickey light sabers at Epcot!
We hit the car stunt show next. It was cool, but a bit too long and technical for my kids' attention span at that (very hot) part of the the day. While we waited for the next event, we chomped down on these delicious, huge popsicles.
Then, we walked right into Toy Story Mania - a 3D ride/game. Without our fast passes, we would have waited for 100 minutes according to the sign. This was the highlight of the day! Bull cackled the entire time and Gator was very competitive. The adults enjoyed it a great deal too!
We watched the Playhouse Disney Puppet Show next. Both Gator and Bull really enjoyed this show. They were very familiar with all the characters and songs from TV - Little Einsteins, Handy Manny, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and My Friends Tigger and Pooh.
We got caught in a downpour while buying our souvenirs for the day - Playhouse Disney characters, Princess cups for my nieces, Mickey Skywalker and Goofy Vader. Such is Orlando in the summer though! What a great day though!
