Disney World: Travel Day and Hollywood Studios

YAY!  Our trip that we've been waiting for finally came!  We knew we wanted to go on a Disney Cruise since Tucker was born, but we were waiting for him to be fully potty trained to do the Oceaneer club.  While planning the trip I hated to travel all the way to Florida without going to Disney world so we did a week there first!
Here is our crazy family trying to get through the airport with most our baggage (big mistake, won't do again!)
 Here we are on the plane with every leisure they might possibly think to need!
 We made it! Florida here we come!  The first day we just spent unpacking and grocery shopping for the rest of the week.
 Here we are at Hollywood Studios waiting in our first line!

 After we did a kid ride, Vic and I headed off to do some fun adult only rides!
Here we are at one of my favorite rides, Tower of terror, a straight drop down.
 I don't like how bumpy most roller coasters are, but this one is so smooth so it's one of my favorites too!
 My mom took the kids to the Disney Junior show and we got through the lines fast enough that we got to sneak in after the show had started and still get to join them for the end when all the bubbles and treasure falls down.  I was worried they'd be too old for it, but they still loved it!
 After that we headed to the Indiana Jones show and of course Vic figured out how to get himself picked to go down onto the stage and be an "extra" in their movie making.  The kids were a little scared by this show, but had fun seeing Vic down on the stage.
 These light sabers were a hit!  It entertained the kids in the lines for quite awhile and they could hardly put them down at the hotel either.  Below we are in some Star Wars simulator ride. The kids liked it, but I HATED it!  I was sure I was going to throw up and had to take giant breaths the entire time and then was nauseous afterwards too. 

 Frozen show!!! All the girls in our group loved it! Tucker thought it was okay and Vic and Tommy wish they'd gone on some other ride!
 We had to sign up for Jedi training in the morning and we are so glad we did.  This was definitely the highlight of the day for all 3 kids.
 Tommy was very serious during his training, pretty sure he thought he might be on the real force training team!
 At the end of their training Darth Vador came out to fight the kids and tested their skills.



 They all passed the test and got a badge to prove they are an official Jedi.

 While waiting for our fastpass for another ride we got pictures with some of our favorite characters.
 Tucker and Jake were the cutest.  Jake was so excited to see Tucker come up all dressed like him with his toys so Jake played around with Tucker before taking this picture.

 The kids LOVED Fantasmic (although I don't know what happened to the pictures!).
After Fantasmic they also had a Star Wars show.  We started to watch it and decided we were too tired so we saw the end of it from the parking lot!
