My pictures are getting put in the incorrect order which is driving me crazy!
We woke up early again and checked out of our hotel and checked in to the Polynesian at 5:30 am so that we could park for free at Hollywood Studios. We were all so excited because we were waiting in crowds to enter. Once the park opened everyone was rushing to rides. We decided to head to Toy Story Mania because our fast pass was for much later in the day and we thought it would be fun to get another ride in. We literally walked straight there and it said 30 minute wait and the park had JUST opened. Everyone loved it though. Amy dominated and beat us all. Then I somehow deleted our fast pass for tower of terror. It was next on the list and the wait said 30 min...we decided to wait. Well in that time 2 of the elevators broke so the wait ended up being an hour. The boys and Sutton hung back with Nana and Papa. I hated that I messed up our plan so early in the day. It seemed like we couldn't win at HS. All the rides just had crazy long lines. It was getting warm and there just isn't a whole lot to do there. We saw Indiana Jones stunt show which was good. We saw a Little Mermaid show that was cute. We had a lunch planned at Mama Melrose. This was part of the Fantasmic package which guaranteed us seats at the show at 8:30 (well I knew there was no way the kids would make it till 8:30 with our early wake up call). The lunch was great. All the kids behaved and it was a 3 course meal. We all got apps, drinks, meals, and dessert. It was a great mid day break. We got to ride Toy Story again and ride the Great Movie Ride which I think half the kids didn't enjoy due the fighting scene.
Below Brad is eating his favorite thing at disney--The Mickey ice cream at Captain Cooks back at our hotel. We ate dinner there that night.
After we checked in to the hotel they gave us lays! We had requested the building ride next to the lobby and monorail and we got it! It was the perfect location!
This was Craw at 6:30 in the morning ready to hit the park with his cousins.
Sutton was such a doll.
This is after our mad dash to Toy Story Mania.
The kids and their 3d glasses at Little Mermaid
I just toted Sutton around in a carrier --she preferred that to the stroller (not to mention craw hogged the stroller the whole trip)
This is Craw about to get on Star Tours. I stayed back with Sutton while they did this since she was too little.
Craw is sitting with daddy in the Disney Junior Live (which was adorable. It was basically all the theme songs sung by puppets and they made bubbles fall and gold dubloons...it was cute)
Every morning Craw was equally as excited to see his cousins. We would tell him he got to see Hope and Carter and he would literally spring from the bed.
After HS we came back to the Polynesian to enjoy some time at the pool!
Brad didn't hold Sutton very much on our trip but this was a sweet moment of him holding her while we waited to ride the great movie ride. She just passed out.
In what I thought was the middle of the night (it was 9:45) I heard this loud screaming coming from Sutton's pack and play. She NEVER wakes up in the night so I guess I stumbled over thinking it was the morning. I looked at the clock and thought "oh no this is going to be bad" but luckily she just curled up in my bed and then took over the bed and didn't make a peep until the morning.
The kids have talked about the tower of terror for months. They all knew it would be the first fast pass. They were all prepared to ride it. Until we got about this close. Then Craw bailed. Carter walked a little further before bailing. Hope was a trooper and it was quite scary. We had an hour wait and I just felt so bad for Hope the whole time on the ride knowing how terrified she was.
It was a great first day. We finished up by eating dinner and calling it a night.
