This is the day with the least pictures.

After Chef Mickey's we headed over to Downtown Disney.
Jacob and I had been to Disney Quest on our own in 06 and had a blast.
Hannah decided to come with us this time.
My Dad dropped us off and had some time to himself.

We had fun, but it was supposed to rain this day so it was a little busy. I don't think I would take Hannah back here, just Jacob. not really her thing. She found a few things she liked, but mostly she was "bored". Jacob loves it here.

After a couple of hours we headed out. It looked like a nice sunny day, but my Dad said it poured while we were in there.

We met back up with my Dad and got ice cream.
Then we headed over to the World of Disney store.
The guys stopped off at the Lego store, but Hannah dragged me straight to WOD. We were there for quite a while.
The guys came and left.
Tried to convince Jacob to get a pirate sweatshirt for the P&P party, but he had no interest.
Hannah needed no convincing on anything she loves to shop

Then we headed over to Once upon a Toy. I had told Jacob about the Build your own lightsabre and he was so excited to try this.

The set up is pretty cool with tons of little pieces and parts. There are two sides a "Jedi" side and a "Sith" side. He went back and forth collecting parts. There is a cm to help as needed.

Jacob is a big star wars fan. DH and I both grew up with Star Wars. Jacob has all the original toys that belonged to my brothers.

Jacob took so long to make this I put the camera away and forgot to take a picture of the finished lightsabre.
Will have to do that later.
Actually he "finished" then changed his mind and decided to make a double lightsabre. They put in batteries at the checkout, and he got to choose Jedi or Sith pin. He had trouble deciding but went with "Jedi".
With the two sided only one side lights up, but you can switch which side, or take one side off completely.

That is actually the only time I took my camera out at DTD

After that it started to rain, everyone was getting tired, and I still needed to go to the grocery store. So we headed out.

Next up Day 3 Disney Hollywood Studios.

great update and pics.

I love Star Wars.

Jake who I brought wanted one but I said no. I was tired of spending money.

I also love the WOD store. So lucky that we have one here in the city.

Jacob did not ask for too much. I think he only got one no.
Hannah heard no a lot. She will ask for everything.

Tuesday, Feb 19th

So Day 3 and we finally make it to a Disney Park.

We arrive and Jacob wants to start taking pictures but has forgetten his camera.
So he wants to use mine.
I let him
These are all Jacob's pics

Jacob can't wait to ride star tours, so we head there first.

We walk right on. Jacob tries to take pictures of the robots in line, while walking.
My Dad won't let him stop because there are people behind us.

So we're lined up to enter the simulator, and Hannah suddenly decides she is afraid to ride.
I thought about dragging her on, but if she gets upset she won't want to do anything all day.
So the guys ride & we wait in the gift shop.
When Jacob gets out, he wants to go right back on with me.
Almost no line still. So we ride.

I was planning to go from here to the Jedi training academy, but its starting now. Jacob does not want to go. What?
He felt he had seen a similar show at a SW exhibiton so he did not want to go.
He wants his picture on the speeder.

Racing through the forests of Endor.

She decides to join in.

They really had fun taking these.

Turned out to be a good idea. Since it was early and the show was going on, no one else was waiting for photos!

What did Hannah do while we rode star tours? I had no idea she'd already done this til I got home and saw the disc of my Dad's photos.

What is Star Tours like? I am not a fan of the movies at all, and have no idea what kind of ride this is.

Cute pictures on the "thing" (It looks like a bug to me, but I'm certain it's not! )

Hello Disney Fanatic!!

It's been awhile since I've been on Star Tours, but it's not that intense. If you like any of the movies, you'll like the ride. But, even if you're not a big fan I think you would probably still like it. The ride is like a motion simulator, if I remember right.

It is a motion simulator but not the kind of simulator that will give you motion sickness. The film is a little old on the ride but still very enjoyable. We are big Star Wars junkies so my opinion on Star Tours may be a little biased.

Saturday, Feb. 16th

We flew direct from Providence to Orlando late Saturday afternoon. Lots of turbulence on the flight. The kids have been flying since they were babies so they are used to air travel. We landed at MCO as the sun was setting. It was beautiful. A great way to start the trip.

I, too, live in RI-- Prov to be exact.
Woot for TF Green!

Thanks.
Jacob loves to take pictures. You never know what you'll get with him though. He ends up with an interesting perspective sometimes.

great update and pics.

I Star Wars.

Thanks. We do too!

Awwww, I love Star Wars too! Great trippie, keep it comin'

Jacob & I rewatched all the movies over two weeks in January.

Star tours is a motion simulator. You don't need to have seen the movies to enjoy it. You are taking a shuttle ride with an inexperienced robot pilot.

Its a speeder from "Return of the Jedi" the third of the original set of movies. It flys a few feet off the ground. There are some chase scenes through the forest (the background) on the speeders.

I, too, live in RI-- Prov to be exact.
Woot for TF Green!

I lived in Prov for a while, went to RIC (92)
We're down in south county now.
Green is nice cause it's so small. One minute to walk through the terminal

After star tours we headed over to see the Muppet show. It was a good choice because everyone enjoyed it.

Then my dad suggested a little shopping at the muppets store. My stepsister has a 9month old baby boy and my dad was shopping for him.
My husband loves the muppets so we bought him a little kermit.
Hannah talked me into a tinkerbell pin trading set.

Smiley face in the sky

Then we headed over to catch the first show of Beauty & the Beast.

We were at DHS in 06 and did not have time to see all the shows, so my Dad and Hannah had seen this show before, Jacob and I had not.

We arrived during the preshow. The acapella group "Four for a Dollar". They were really good. Both kids loved the show. Next time I will make sure to get there before they start.

I let Jacob use the camera to keep him entertained.
Here are his Beauty and the Beast photos.

I think this is my favorite of this set. Jacob loves those close ups.

My Dad was taking photos too!
Here are some of his.

We all reallly enjoyed the show.
When I look at these pics, I hear the songs from the show/movie.

 

[scottny]

those pics are great.

I love B&B show.

 

[mom2girlsn1boy]
