| Doing a little shopping. This trophy said "world's greatest grandpa" so they wanted me to take a picture of it and send it to Papa. :-) |
 |
| Wearing Mickey's sorcerer hat. |
 |
| Waiting to meet Buzz and Woody. There were lots of fun cut outs for photo ops while waiting in line. |
 |
| Finally! They got to meet Buzz and Woody and get their autographs. |
 |
| Right after they hugged them goodbye Caleb started to silently cry and look embarassed. When we got outside and asked him what happened I noticed his eye. And I just so happened to get a picture of the moment of impact...see Caleb's face and Buzz's chin? |
 |
| Yep, Buzz's chin smacked him right on the eye. Poor baby. See the swelling? It was like that for a few hours then it was fine. |
 |
| We rode "The Great Movie Ride" for the first time. It was pretty cool! It was a little boat type ride like the cave ride at 6 Flags. It was pretty long and took us through several different movies...like Marry Poppins here.... |
 |
| ...And The Wizard of Oz here. It was a cool ride! |
 |
| Also new for us this year was getting to sit in on American Idol! They had the stage and 3 judges just like the real show. It was a real audition from people who signed up previously during the day to come in and sing. And the winner got a "golden ticket" to go to the front of the line at a real American Idol audition! Pretty cool! |
 |
| We even came back later in the day and saw the finale and voted for who we wanted to win. And the guy from our audition earlier in the day won the golden ticket! Unfortunantly, he didn't make it onto the real show. I checked. ;-) |
 |
| Two years ago when we went to Disney, the boys weren't interested in the Jedi training so we didn't sign them up to do it this time. Then we got in trouble. They both wanted to do it but it was too late to sign up. You have to do it as soon as the park opens or there won't be any spots left. Oops...maybe next time! It is pretty cool! |
 |
| Posing on a Star Wars flying thing....(I don't know what it's called.) |
 |
| We saw the stunt show for the first time. It was pretty cool! Those drivers are amazing and totally look like they're going to crash into each other!! |
 |
| We had to return to Honey I Shrunk the Kids to play. They boys love that place! |
 |
| They were sweaty messes by the time we left! |
 |
| We did the Backlot Tour for the first time also. It was really cool! It shows how a lot of special effects are done. We were in a tram type car riding all around behind the scenes. We rode slowly by this giant tank.... |
 |
| ...then it exploded and caused a flood! It looked like all of that water was headed right for us...then it went under us. Whew! It was exciting! |
 |
| After the tour was over it dropped us off at a museum of movie stuff. It was pretty cool! |
 |
| We told the kids they could pick one thing to buy and Ethan begged for Stitch from Lilo and Stitch (which I think he's seen once). I tried to talk him out of it but his mind was made up. Well...he won that round because 6 months later he still sleeps with him every night! |
 |
| That night we went into the town portion of Holleywood and the lights were amazing! Of course it was a little strange that it was about 80 degrees and we were looking at Christmas lights but it was still cool! |
 |
| Family photo under the lights! We love Hollywood Studios! |
