Hollywood Studios

-

On Day 2 (Wednesday) we went to Hollywood Studios.





The boys had so much fun on the buses.





Our first stop was to the Tower of Terror.  Finn and Sam both rode.  Sam asked me at least one hundred times if I would keep him safe.  He was pretty nervous, but he held on tight to me through the whole ride and ended up doing just fine.  Finn sat with Nana, Papa and Emily and he loved it! The best part of the whole ride though was Papa!  His laugh was so infectious.  After we got off the ride the first time, Nana, Papa, Emily and I went back on again.





All things considered, Sam did great.

Next we went over the Rock-N-Rollercoaster.  Finn was too short to ride the last time we came so this was a new treat for him.  He didn't really see it that way while we were standing in line.  He was a bit nervous.  He was so funny on the ride.  He closed his eyes at "takeoff" and didn't open them again for the remainder of the ride.  He also didn't make a sound.  At one point I reached down and put my hand on his leg just to make sure he was still in the car.  After it was all over Finn was really proud of himself.


Finn was a little nervous waiting in line for the Rock-N- Roller Coaster.




Next we went over to ride Toy Story Mania.  Finn and I rode together and Sam rode with Michael.

After Toy Story we went to have lunch at the ABC Commissary.  The food there was great and we got a delicious Olaf cupcake.





Next it was off to meet Goofy and then to the Mickey Jr. Stage Show.  After the show we rode the Great Movie Ride.  All of the boys liked this ride. It was just their speed.










Disney Jr. stage show.  I have watched this show 3 times and I still couldn't tell you what happens.



Then we went over to Star Tours.  Finn and Sam LOVES Star Tours.  They both agreed that it was their favorite ride at the park.  After Star Tours we went back to the room for a nap.

On the way out, Finn spotted Donald.



That evening we went back to Magic Kingdom to eat dinner and watch the Wishes Parade. We ate at a surf-n-turf restaraunt in Liberty Square. We couldn't find a place for 11, so the manager let us sit in a private area.  It was really nice - peaceful and quiet.  Then Sam decided that he needed to poop.  So we went to the bathroom.  It took him about 15 minutes to finish. About 10 minutes he decided to start singing.  He sang the opening number to Alexander Hamilton - the whole thing.  There were so many snickers coming from the other side of the door.


The Confectionary.  Finn and Sam both bought a Mickey snack here.



















So pretty! 






Then we went to watch the wishes show.  It was a fireworks show over the castle. It was so beautiful. I held Sam the whole time.  Then we fought the crowds to get back to the hotel.  It was a mess! But despite the noise and the crowds and the waiting, it was still great.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
