Day 3 was Hollywood Studios day. Our game plan was to get into the park and go straight for the "Jedi Training" line. Apparently, kids can be Jedi-trained, but only if you can get a spot, and we wanted a spot. So we spent about the first hour of our day at Hollywood in line, first to get into the park, and then to get signed up for Jedi-Training. The good news is that the kids seemed to have no problem with waiting in line, just like they had no problem yesterday, or the day before. *headscratch* The other good news is that if you looked at the Jedi line as a whole, we were probably only 30% of the way back. So...win win!
We rode rides, ate delicious food, and watched three really cool nighttime shows (although I have to say...Fantasmic was cool, but we waited for over an hour, and getting out was a NIGHTMARE! Thousands of people everywhere! Husband had to put sister on his shoulders and I kept a death grip on Brother, who kept saying, "I don't like this, Mom. I don't like this." Me neither, son!
Hollywood Highlights:
- Jedi Training - though we did wait a while, this ended up being a really cool thing. The kids got to dress like Jedis and even fight Kylo-Ren!
- The Indiana Jones Show - This was cool enough because it was Indiana Jones, but it was extra cool because my father-in-law was chosen as an audience extra in the show. Since he had also been an extra when he took my husband 25 years ago, it was “extra” cool!
- Light Saber Assembly- The kids got to design and build their own light sabers with the help p of a professional Light Saber Engineer.
- The Toy Story Ride - This ride was AWESOME! You are in these carts and you have a shooter, and you shoot at targets. There’s a screen that gives you your total. I went with Brother. I’m sure you can guess whose score is whose...
- Star Wars Light Show - This was very cool. It was in the middle of the park in this big square, and it was packed and standing-room only, which meant we had to hold the kids (yikes), but it was a great show!
Of all 5 parks we visited (Magic Kingdom, Hollywood, EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, and Universal), Hollywood ranks as follows by my family:
Husband: 3rd favorite
Brother: 3rd favorite
Sister: 3rd favorite
Me: 3rd favorite
