Where are the rest of the snacks?
After our impromptu ride on the GMR, we headed over to TSMM to see if it was up and running. No luck, still down! We made a tentative plan to try again after our dinner ADR. Since it had been down during our entire FP+ window, hopefully we would be good to go at any point during the rest of the day.
I knew Indiana Jones was starting in about 20 minutes, so we headed in that direction. Nate has been playing with some of Jim's old Indiana Jones Lego sets so he was very excited when I told him about the show. After hearing rumors that it might be closing soon, I knew this was something we had to see!
People were already streaming in so we parked the strollers and scooted through the line, where I took this very exciting picture of the queue.
We found seats in the center, about halfway back - pretty great seats!
The show wasn't starting yet and Jake was already getting antsy. As we had experienced with FOTLK, snacks were key in keeping him happy during shows. Being the super mom that I am, I (thought) that I had packed a wide array of healthy snacks to keep him satisfied during the show. We started out with applesauce pouches and everyone was happy...for now.
Soon, the show was starting!
One of the highlights for the boys, for sure!
By this point, Jake was demanding more snacks in a not so quiet fashion. So, I opened my bag to find something else for him and I find...2 goldfish.
The ziploc that I thought was full of crackers had 2 measly fish. Where were the yogurt raisins? Where were the pretzels?
I stuffed a goldfish in Jake's mouth and then it dawned on me that all of the snacks were sitting in the cup holder of the stroller. I had taken them out of our larger, under the stroller bag, but they had failed to make it into my bag. Big oops!
I spent the next 15 minutes making our only goldfish last as long as possible! Luckily there were plenty of sights to keep him interested!
We managed to survive the last few minutes and made our way outside. Nate and Colin were happy to pose for some pictures!
It was getting close to our 12:25 FP+ for Star Tours. Nate was the only one tall enough to ride, so I had planned on letting Colin and Jake play at the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground while we did the Rider Swap. We all headed over and let the boys play!
Colin liked the ropes!
Jim and my mom took Nate on the first shift of Star Tours. I walked Colin over to get the Rider Swap pass and then we headed back to play some more! Jim snapped this shot of Nate heading into Star Tours.
My dad and I were up next! The stand by wait at this point was about 45 minutes so we were happy with our FP+!
Boarding instructions!
Needless to say, we loved every minute! Nate is really counting down the days until he is old enough to watch the "real" movies! After our ride, we headed into this place and Nate was in heaven!
Building light sabers was on our must do list! I sent a text to Jim and they headed over from the HISTK (is that even a real acronym people use?) playground. We spent quite a bit of time in the dump shop. Of course, Nate got right to work on his light saber!
I was not at all skilled at helping him so I'm lucky this kind CM was there to work it out with Nate!
(Except Nate would say he didn't like that since it's Darth Vader and he is team Jedi all the way!)
After Colin and Nate built their light sabers (they still play with them almost daily!), we headed out. It was time for a short break back at AOA. We hadn't eaten any real lunch at this point since we were all pretty full from our big breakfast at H&V. I think the boys did eat a yogurt in the room before they napped/rested.
Soon it was time to head back - we were on a tight schedule! Characterpalooza and an ADR awaited!
I'll just leave you with a quick preview of our awesome evening!
