8/22 First half of day
We got to Hollywood Studios just prior to rope drop. First up we headed directly to get a picture with Woody at
Pixar Place. We haven't met him before, which is surprising, since we've met most characters. We were second in line. So that went quick.
Next...remember that paper fastpass a woman handed us in the lobby of our hotel a few days ago? It was good at HS for 5 people so we decided to use it to ride Toy Story Mania!! My 13 year old beat me by 200 points. Boy am I losing my touch!! It's rough when we stop letting our kids win and they actually beat us!!
Next up, we met Cruz Ramirez and were again only second in line. Quick again!! Then we decided to go meet BB8. It was only a 5 minute wait and it was worth it. The kids loved him.
Then we went to ride Toy Story Mania for the second time because we had fast passes on our magic bands too!! What luck! I lost to my 13 year old yet again...except by even more this time. Poor me!
For our 4th character of the day we met Starlord and Groot. Groot was adorable!! Starlord's personality and even his voice was very true to the movie, I loved his energy! My DD and I stayed back and let my husband and two boys do an all guy photo for this one! We waited about 15 minutes for this one. But no big deal. On our way out...we saw a mouse Droid driving around the floor and it chased the kids around for while. It was cute. I know nothing about what it's purpose is?? My oldest said they were mouse Droid created because no living things were on the ships...I don't get it. But then I'm not a very "cool" mom, am I?
Then we spent a little time wandering around to check out the construction of the new parts and look around some shops. Still no purchases yet. We allow our kids one souvenir for each trip. So usually they check out lots of things and then decide towards the end of our trip on what to buy. They usually end up making their purchases at Disney Springs!
So we headed back for lunch and nap. Left Hollywood studios around 10:45am. So in a little under 2 hours we rode toy story twice and met 5 characters. Not too shabby!!
So now naptime. My dh is taking the older two to the Bay Lake pool while the little one sleeps and I relax on the balcony while looking at our lovely view!
