Disney Day 5

Hollywood Studios! We didn't last too long at Hollywood Studios. There aren't a ton of kid-oriented rides but we saw some pretty amazing shows.

Here is the back of Ella's fluffy head watching Playhouse Disney. It was neat for the kids to see their cartoon friends on stage for real. Mickey, Minnie, Daisy, Donald, the Little Einsteins, Handy Manny and Pooh, all singing familiar songs. So fun!


Then we headed straight for the dark side. We had hoped to get the kids on stage for the show but it required a 3+ hour wait in line...I don't think so. We did get up close and personal with Darth. The boys were mesmerized.
We watched the Indiana Jones stunt show which was very cool. Indiana Jones was Harrison Ford's real stunt double. Awesome!


That was the extent of Hollywood Studios for the kiddos. The big people rode Rockin' Roll roller-coaster and Tower of Terror. Both very fun and exciting! We then went home for naps.

Evenings at Disney were some of my favorite times. That night we headed back to the Magic Kingdom for the Wishes fireworks display. We arrived about an hour early so we decided to ride a few rides.

This is the fam on Buzz Lightyear's ride. It became the kids' all time favorite. You actually ride through a video game and shoot stuff. What could be better than that?

The Wishes fireworks were incredible. Jiminy Cricket and the Blue Fairy narrated the story and Tinkerbell flew from Cinderella's castle over our heads. The kids were speechless. Dreams really do come true!

This is definitely bringing back a lot of memories of ME going to Disney as a kid AND when I went twice in high school! I'll never forget that when we saw the Wishes fireworks show and stuff at night, a guy bent down on one knee right in front of our group and proposed to his girlfriend, and, of course, she said yes! It was SO romantic and made the night a little more special! haha
