Disney Day 5!

On Thursday, 6/18/15, Mike and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary!  We went to Hollywood Studios, isn't that how you mark a decade of marriage?  The boys were up and ready early (as usual), Isaac had a turn trying on Bamma's visor.
 Matching Jake and the Neverland Pirates shirts for today!
 CJ and Noah on the parking tram, ready for a day together!
 One group took the boys over to sign up for Jedi training, while another crew headed to Toy Story Mania.  The "boy" crew hit up the great movie ride after getting signed up.

 We all met back up to do the Star Tours ride together.  It's a 3D ride where you're in a rebel spaceship flying around with C3PO and R2D2.  Pretty fun!



 Phil was shown on the screen for the ride as the rebel spy, he is pretty shady looking!
 Then the Rodriguez/Hewes crew hit up Toy Story Mania, it was very fun.  Mike had the high score, even with Isaac in his lap!

 Our group of nine had lunch at Hollywood and Vine with some Disney Jr characters.


 After lunch, we got ready for the Jedi training experience!
 Sam was pretty darn excited when he got his robe!


They wisely had the kids wait under umbrella's and drink water before heading on stage.  It was 90 some degrees that day with a heat index over 100!
 The Jedi master came out and began the training.  Sam took it VERY seriously, that's him standing there with his hands behind his back, listening intently.
They were given their training lightsabers and began practicing a sequence of moves.


 Cue the dramatic music, and here comes Darth Vader!  Each kiddo got a shot at crossing lightsabers with him, they all did great!


One final force push to send Vader on his way. it was such a fun experience!
Mike and I headed out with the little 2, while Noah hit up Tower of Terror with Josh, Dad, and Kjersten.  On the way out, we were trapped by the Frozen parade.  You can see how thrilled Sam was, but there was fake snow!
That night, Mike and I celebrated our anniversary with a nice adult meal at Epcot.  Of course we were so tired, we were still back by 9pm.  But it was nice to have a calm meal with just the two of us!
