I made a major snafu on Friday morning in our Disney World planning. For some reason I thought we had Water Park tickets along with Park Hopper so we all got dressed in our swim gear and headed to Typhoon Lagoon. When we got to the entrance we were told our Disney tickets didn't include the water park option. I felt like an idiot, the kids were disappointed, and we weren't quite sure what to do next. Then we saw a bus headed for Downtown Disney and decided to jump on board. It ended up being a pretty fantastic morning after all!!
A few sights from our tour of Downtown Disney...
The highlight of that little trip was the LEGO store. Seeing all these creations outside made entirely of LEGO blocks was amazing!!
Nolan making his best "Hulk" pose!
And then Landon gave it a shot!
Can you believe all of these figures are made from LEGOs?!?!?
We picked out a few kits for the kids and then they got to fill up a bucket with all kinds of unique LEGOs to add to our collection. The LEGO store was definitely a highlight of our trip and wouldn't have happened except for the "water park snafu!"
After Downtown Disney, we headed back to out hotel to change and grab a snack before heading over to Hollywood Studios. The weather had been pretty mild all week, but this day we started to feel the heat a bit more.
We started out by watching the "Lights, Motors, Action Extreme Stunt Show." The action parts were pretty fun to watch, but there was a lot of talking in between and since it was in the middle of the afternoon, we were all ready for it to be done!
The kid play center from "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" was quite fun for the older kids though!
Looks like we're on a movie set here!!
"Toy Story Mania" was a fun ride. Thank goodness for Fast Passes though because the line was over an hour long. With our Fast Passes, we were in and out in less than 15 minutes!
We had a late lunch/early dinner at the 50's Prime Time Cafe which was quite a treat and had really good food. My favorite part was the Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake. Yummy!!
After dinner we watched the "Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular". We all loved it!!
We had to drag Landon to go and see "Voyage of the Little Mermaid" since we had already done so many "boy" type shows. Needless to say, even Landon loved this little show and was enthralled the entire time!
We ended the evening by going on the Tower of Terror. I went with Landon, Nolan and Abby and none of us knew what we were getting ourselves into!!
I thought it would be just one big drop, but nope, they kept bringing us back up and dropping us again and again and again. Neither Landon nor I enjoyed this one, but Nolan liked it and Abby even went on it a second time with Jason. Once was more than enough for me though!!
We were going to stay for the night show called "Fantasmic" but it was standing room only and it was already pretty late. We'll save that one for next time!!
