The adventure continues

Boy oh boy! We just finished up our 4th day at the parks and man have we had some full days!!  Yesterday we spent the morning having breakfast with the Princesses at Akershus Royal Banquet Hall and the rest of the day we walked around Epcot.  Epcot was pretty neat, but absolutely ZERO shade!!  Yesterday was probably the first day where I felt completely spent at the parks.  We ended up leaving the park by 3:00, after being out there at 8:00 am (and we parked on the front row!!). Allyson enjoyed meeting all the princesses inside the park, but she is definitely more into the characters in costume.  She was all business at Epcot and we rarely got a smile from her.  One thing was for sure: she did NOT want to take off her princess dress.  I brought her a change of clothes and we asked her several times, but she didn't want to take it off!

Oh and in one of the pictures above (bottom right) where she is holding her cheeks . . . Snow White kissed her and she was in complete awe.  It was so sweet!!!  Later on Mulan kissed her on the forehead and she was beside herself then as well!!

While yesterday was definitely geared more towards our little girl, today was Jase's day to shine!! We got to the park early with Extra Magic Hours and we made good use of the time.  Jase and I headed straight to sign him up for the Jedi Training Academy.  This was a definite goal of mine for Hollywood Studios . . . I've seen some of these on YouTube and I knew he would LOVE it!!  When we got to the sign-in around 8:25, they were already signing up for the 12:40 show, and they started at 9:40 and were every 30 minutes or so.  Success . . . we got signed up for the 2:20 show (we had lunch reservations at 12:05, so I had to choose a later show.  No biggie, we stayed plenty busy with the Star Tours ride (Jase rode back to back this morning), Toy Story Mania ride, Little Mermaid show, and the Disney Junior Live on Stage show.

Here is a 5 minute clip, and it starts off with Jase fighting Darth Vader and ends with Jase receiving his award and running to us!!  It was so awesome if I do say so myself.  All I gotta say is if you ever want to do this, take your child with you to the sign-up first thing when the park opens!  After we checked in for our show, we hung out until it was Jase's turn and I saw several parents come in and ask if they could sign up . . . poor people did not have a clue what was going on.  Thank goodness for the Internet!! :-)

We stayed at the park until after 5:00 pm, which was plenty late for us. We have not made it see fireworks or a light show at night yet; maybe on Friday evening, we'll see.
