Disney Day 2: Hollywood Studios

We took a bus from the Caribbean Beach Resort on Monday morning and got to Hollywood Studios right when it was opening. We wanted to get there early to see if Ben could get a spot for Jedi Training. When we found the spot for sign-ups, the line was already really long. They said the wait was 1.5 hours. Ben really wanted to wait, although we reminded him that bad weather was in the forecast and they cancel the training if a storm rolls in. He had his heart set on it, so Lucy and I left to find some other fun things to do by ourselves. 


It was almost time for the Disney Junior show to start, so we got in line and hoped to get a spot inside. There was plenty of room for us and we got pretty good seats on the floor. 
The show had little short segments from a few of the Disney Jr shows. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse was the first. 
She really enjoyed the show and it was nice to be out of the heat.
On our way to catch the Little Mermaid show, we saw some Storm Troopers marching. Ben was still waiting in line, so we felt bad he was missing out. Later, he did see another group marching. 

Yay! Curt and Ben are finally out of the line. Ben got one of the last spots for the Jedi Training. We went to meet Chewy, who is a favorite of our whole family! 
He was super friendly and let the kids get hugs and pose for several pictures. 
Lucy got to use the force! 

We saw this little guy in the hallway. 
Time for the Star Tours ride. I get motion sickness easily and this was probably the worst ride for me of the whole trip. I kept thinking, "What do I do if I throw up on this ride?" Thankfully, I made it out without that happening and my stomach settled down. 
Ben showed up for his Jedi Training...got ready to go...and it got CANCELLED! Bummer! The sky turned black and it poured and poured. We got so drenched. It just kept raining and raining and many of our Hollywood Studio plans didn't happen.
Because Ben's training got cancelled they let him have a fast pass to see Kylo Ren. They don't give out fast passes for him, so that was nice to not have to wait in line. 

We went to the Frozen show and it was so nice to get out of the rain. We all thought it was really cute and fun! 

Snow came down at the end and surprised us all! 
We had a fast pass for the Toy Story ride and it was really run. You spin around and try to shoot targets. I rode with this silly girl. 
We had planned to see the Indiana Jones show and do a few more things, but we were getting pretty cold and miserable from the rain. We decided it was time to head back to the resort. We had bought ponchos and I'm not sure that they helped that much. We were soaked. This picture is us waiting for the bus back to the resort. We were happy to get back to the room and put on dry clothes. We got dinner and got ready to head to Animal Kingdom in the morning.

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
