Disney Day 4, Part 2

After lunch at Hollywood and Vine, we had a little unwind time while we waited on Z’s new Jedi Training time. We just hung out, tried to get my kids to nap (didn’t happen), had bathroom breaks, and just generally rested in the shade.

Then it was time for the main event. Nick took Z to get his robe and instructions and they paraded from their set up area to the stage, through the park.

Then it was time for training. Z was serious!

Then, the Darth Vader music began and Darth Vader himself and two Storm troopers came out on stage. Darth Maul (Eek, he was freaky) followed behind and some of the kids fought him on the ground.

Z followed instructions carefully, which were to hit right shoulder, left shoulder, right knee, left knee, duck and jab (something like that) and when it came time to duck, the trainer made a joke about his hair, she said “Don’t mess up the hair!” Hilarious!

He did so well, and he was super serious the whole time. Such a cool day!

These two were sweet supporters too!

I’ve lost track now of timing, but I seem to remember that at some point in the day, we caught the Beauty and the Beast show and made it just in time for a showing of the Frozen sing a-long, so awesome, loved that!!

And, of course we rode the super fun, Buzz Lightyear 3D ride! The kids did really well in that, and the fast pass came super in handy!

Just as we had decided to head out (it was getting super crowded), we hit up one of the Christmas shops in Hollywood studios, and the kids played in the “snow.” It was still light outside when we left, but we’d had a super full day!

Sometime after that snowman picture, Lulu went ballistic, I’m talking, crazy! I think she was tired of sitting in the stroller, but when she wasn’t in it, she would wander around like a lost puppy, so we did what any parent who has no control of their kid would do, strapped her in the stroller and wheeled her through the park, mad screaming….

Good times….

We decided to change into our bathing suits and hit the pool, SO SO fun. Art of Animation has the most fun pool and splash pad. I’m so glad we got to take advantage of it, and the kids went nuts! Saturday was a long hot day, so it felt nice to us too!

After we swam, we got some food from our cafeteria and Lu went down quick, meltdown central! Needless to say, she doesn’t do well without a nap. She fell asleep at the table in the middle of asking for watermelon but no watermelon, turkey, no turkey, roll it, give me a fork, I don’t want a foooooork! You get the picture.

Suffice it to say, we all slept well Saturday night.

Next, our final morning in the Magic Kingdom and coming home, wah wah…
