12th July

Well it is the weekend so I let everyone have a well deserved lie in as the holiday was beginning to be hard work for some!!!! I took advantage of this and sat out on a sunbed in the morning reading and swimming – the kids were not far behind. They would have spent all day every day in the pool and DS really came on with his swimming on holiday!! DH popped to Publix and we had lunch by the pool and then decided (well I decided) to go shopping at the Prime Outlets – this is the first time we had been there since it was the Belz and was quite impressed. I don’t like raking for bargains and thought the shops were really well set out. DD got some Converse and the kids both got Sketchers. DH bought a few tops in Tommy Hilfiger and I bought a few bits from the Character Warehouse then the kids finished up in KB Toy Outlet where some Pokemon toys were bought!! By that time the kids were done with shopping so I promised myself we would come back here with no kids to get some serious shopping done!!

We then decided we would head to Hollywood Studios as we had not been there yet. When we headed in it looked quiet and for most part it was although Toy Story Mania was maxed out!!!!

The kids wanted to go to Star Tours so managed to do that twice

and then Molly wanted to see One Mans Dream while her brother just wanted to have a drink and go back on Star Tours – so we headed over there again for one more ride and then they made their own lightsabers. They loved doing this and for $19.99 I thought it was great value as they got a Jedi Pin as well. DS chose the single one and DS chose the double version. They came out of the shop then found the jedi stage to play on. They were here for ages and we seemed to have that part of the park to ourselves. We were in no rush to do any rides so we just sat and soaked up the atmosphere.

We then decided to head off home and as the kids headed to bed DH headed to the fridge for a Bud Light!!!!

Another fantastic day Jackie

Lovely day Jackie again. The reason the park was so empty was because there was a nasty thunderstorm at about 1 o'clock and loads of people left the park. We left too as we had done everything we wanted to do barring Toy Story Mania. The fast passes for them at about 11 o'clock in the morning were running at a return of about 5 pm. I hope you managed to do Toy Story Mania at some point in your holiday as it is quite a fantastic, clever ride.

Great report.... I was going to say your self-description should include "Chief picture taker," but I see you're getting into the pictures a bit as well. Yay!!!

Toy Story Mania was the same for us July 4th-5th; FPs by 11a were for very late in the day.... The walk-up makes it still worth waiting (an inside queue) for first-time riders, I think.

Great day. We haven't got around to the Prime Outlets since it changed either, sounds like it has improved. Star Tours is my favourite ride at DHS, I can't wait to go on it again as I have had to miss it twice this year on account of being pregnant!
