Day at Hollywood Studios

We enjoyed a wonderful day at Disney's Hollywood Studios today. My birthday being Wednesday and schools being off today for MLK, Jr. Day, we decided to take the day and explore another park. There was barely any wait time and very few people (compared to Christmas). We walked right back and sat down to watch the Playhouse Disney show. Mickey, Handy Manny, Little Einsteins, and Tigger & Pooh wowed our boys and captured their attention. As we were leaving the show, Malachi saw the life-sized Handy Manny. He RAN over to where he was walking and waved furiously. That boy was excited!

We took the backlot tour. Malachi enjoyed watching the stunt show with rain, fire and a "flood." Lunch was decent. It was worth the money for the boys' kids' meals, not so much for the adults. I think their favorite part would be the "Lights, Motors, Action!" which was an awesome display of stunt effects and awesome driving in a little space. The boys kept talking about it.

There was a "block party" parade that the boys refused to participate in, but Ezekiel thought it would be fun to dance to the music AFTER the parade left. We bought them Pirate Mickey fork, spoon, and bowl from one of the shops. It was nice to get a discount from our passes.

I would unanimously say that Indiana Jones was NOT the boys' favorite. They were without nap and getting tired, but Daniel enjoyed it.

There was very little whining. Ezekiel walked a lot, so did Malachi. There was only fearful tears from Malachi when we first arrived. We're working on his fear of everything new. He's getting better. It was an awesome day for us to spend as a family! We really wanted to ride the Tower of Terror but swapping kids to ride alone was not my idea of fun. We'll go some other time when we can have some other adults with us.

I'm glad I could "celebrate" my birthday early with my family! I love them all so much!
