Florida necessities - hats and sunglasses - all lined up to get ready for day 2 - Hollywood Studios!
First stop after rope drop: the Tower of Terror! Jared took Jacob, Claire, Kate, and Liam through the line. The wait involved a Twilight Zone-themed video. Jacob was pretty vocal about being nervous, but Claire internalized it and decided not to ride. It was an invigorating start to the day!
We had some time to meet Princess Sophia and Jake from Neverland.
The biggest surprise of the day was when we ran into Nana and Papa! We hadn't told the kids that they would be joining us, so they were thrilled (and more than a little surprised). Nana brought with her lanyards and Disney trading pins. The kids spent a lot of the time in between rides, food, and activities checking out each others' lanyards and the lanyards that the Disney employees wore and trading pins. There were many different strategies, some trying to collect similar types of pins, other collecting random pins they liked.
There was a lot of Star Wars going on in Hollywood Studios. For example, there were storm troopers occasionally marching around the park. Liam thought it was funny when the storm troopers would try to arrest him. We visited a shop on Tattoine where the boys built their own light sabers.
The process was taking a while, and Torin was getting impatient and fussing, and an employee came over and handed him an ewok, to hold, then took the price tag off and said, actually, you can have it. Torin loves stuffed animals, so he has been holding it close ever since!
The highlight of the park was the Jedi Academy. We got there early to sign up the little padwans to go through jedi training. They got to be on stage fighting Darth Vader and Darth Maul! They were all ready when the time came! It was an exciting day for all.
We started the day on the Hollywood Studios Tower of Terror, which Jacob eventually convinced himself to ride. Our other favorite ride was the Toy Story Mania.
It was another great day for everyone.
