Disney (Last Two Days)

On our final park day we went to Hollywood Studios.  As fun as it would have been to do all four parks, Epcot doesn't have as many things that they would like and we were tired enough after three long days.

Tower of Terror

We went to the Tower of Terror first since that line tends to get really long and isn't really close to the other things that we wanted to do.  We didn't have to wait long but neither of the boys was a fan of the dropping sensation

The line for Toy Story Mania

Toy Story land has really expanded since the last time we were there.  It was great and so detailed.  Corban especially was crazy about riding the Slinky Dog dash coaster but the line about always about 2 hours.  We told him that we'd do it later in the day when things calmed down

The entire Star Wars area was new to us as well.  The newest attraction, Rise of the Resistance, does not have a normal line.  On the day that you have a park ticket at 7:00am exactly you can try to get into a "boarding group."  The groups sell out for the day in a matter of seconds.  I watched a couple videos with tips on how to get in faster, but I was so stressed about it the night before I kept waking up and thinking I'd missed the time.  The boys wouldn't have known if we didn't get it since they have never been, but I really wanted to see it.  Thankfully we did get a time in the afternoon.

The ride was so detailed and fun.  The story of what was happening spanned several rooms and a transport ship before you even got to the ride.  The premise was that we were rebels captured by the empire and we were being taken to jail.  At one point they were telling each of us to stand on a certain color dot to line up for the next phase of the story.  Corban didn't hear the instructions and hollered at one of the "guards" that he didn't hear what they said to do.  The guards response was "quiet rebel scum!"  After that you board a transport pod driven by a droid and have battles and light saber duels all around you.  Very fun

Next we were off to Smugglers Run.  The Millennium Falcon constructed out front was impressive.  The line weaved you all around it and when you went up some stairs you could see the top in detail. While we were in line for this ride there was a sudden and hard rain storm. At that point Slinky Dog Dash shut down and remained that way for hours.  We went by and asked a cast member about it and she said that they did not anticipate it reopening that day.  Ut Oh.

We had four people on our ship.  Corban was the driver.  I was his assistant.  Gabriel was the engineer.  Taylor was the gunner.  We had to work together to fly and fight enemies.  Each person had unique things to do.  Corban loved flying and Gabriel thought making ship repairs was fun

Look what we found

Stinky Pete.  We rode Toy Story Mania at least 3 times

Parade down main street.

We had eaten dinner and were thinking about maybe trying to do one more quick ride before calling it a day.  As I looked and the ride app Slinky Dog Dash suddenly was open again.  We hurried there and got in line and only had to wait about 45 minutes.  The boys were thrilled and it is now also one of their favorite rides.  If you were to ask them now about favorites Corban would probably say Slinky Dog, Big Thunder Mountain, and the Seven Dwarves Train.  Gabriel would probably say Flight of Passage, Slinky Dog, and the Seven Dwarves Train  

Arms in the air before we even got on. 
It was certainly the fastest coaster we had ridden

The ride lit up at night as we left

The next day we were heading home, but we didn't have to rush since we were staying in Savannah again that night.  We got up and had breakfast at the resort and just took our time

After we left we went back to Disney Springs so the boys could get what they wanted with their $50

Cool Lego creations

Gabriel chose a stuffed Stitch, a stuffed Mandalorian (which he bought in the Star Wars area at Hollywood Studios) and they both paid half for a set of Big Hero 6 characters

Corban got a Porg that made sounds, a Lego set, and paid
the other half for the Big Hero 6 characters

Last of all was Fantasia Mini Golf.  Our package included 4 free tickets to do this but you had to make a reservation for a day and time.  Several weeks prior to going I literally was on hold waiting to make the reservations for about two hours, but it was worth it.  After golf we started for home

Stitch joined us

This trip overall was beyond fantastic.  I was nervous about how it would go with them having long days full of new things, but they just went along with it and had the time of their lives.  They keep asking when we are going back.  I wish we could go to Disney twice a year myself.  I told them if they want to go more often they'd better get jobs :)
