Walt Disney World: Day Five

 We headed back to Hollywood Studios today.

Laura and Annabelle ready for Toy Story Mania!

Back in line for the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.

Our pilots improved a little from Sunday.

The hardest attraction to get into is the Rise of the Resistance.  It's a 20 min experience/ride.  We were lucky to get a chance to ride it both days.  Here's a pic at the start of the experience, getting our mission.

Then we boarded a spacecraft.

Our spacecraft was highjacked, and we were taken captive. 

Then the ride portion is us trying to escape.

Annabelle wanted to ride the Rock 'N Rollercoaster.

One of the experiences you can do in Star Wars Galaxy Edge is to build your own droid.  The kids choosing their parts.

Ready to build!

Droids are complete!

One last pic with Woody!

Walt Disney World: Day Four

 We headed to Epcot today.  Our hotel is walking distance or a short boat ride to both Hollywood Studios and Epcot.  Epcot was having a food festival, but the crowds were still very light.  They also had life size paintings throughout the park that the kids had fun posing in.

The first painting we encountered was a Mermaid Lagoon.

We entered right by the UK, so a quick photo op by the telephone booth.

The kids favorite ride at Epcot is the Test Track.  The experience wasn't quite the same; because of Covid, they removed the part where you designed your own car.  So it was just the ride, which was still fun!  Ready to test our car.

Then over to Mission Space.

Laura and Caden on the Seas with Nemo and Friends.

A photo op after Nemo and before we headed to Soarin' Around the World, which is another favorite!

Another painting.

The Frozen ride in Norway was under construction when we last visited.  It had a pretty long line that wrapped all the way into China.  A pic of the kids while we were in line.

Continuing around the World Showcase, we came across this pic in the American Adventure area.  Annabelle is working hard to paddle Washington across the Deleware!

Walt Disney World: Day Three

 I couldn't believe how cold it was this morning.  They're having record lows in the 30's.  Thank goodness I found some winter hats to purchase.  And the then kids just layered up.

Today we headed to Magic Kingdom.  We went straight to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Then over to the Pirate's of the Caribbean.

Laura and Annabelle on Peter Pan's Flight.

Caden, Annabelle, and Laura on the Mad Tea Party.

Over to the Tomorrowland Speedway.

Caden was old enough to drive his own car.

Waiting for Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin.

Laura and Annabelle ready to ride.

We were some serious shooters!

Caden's looks like a robber.

Ready to ride one of our favorites, the Seven Dwarfs' Mine Train.  This was by far our longest wait of the day, but it's worth it!

Then over to It's a Small World.

Caden and Laura ready to ride Dumbo the Flying Elephant.

There were no shows and limited parades.  Annabelle did enjoy this short parade at the end of the day.

A family photo in front of Cinderella's Castle.

Walt Disney World: Day Two

 We headed to Animal Kingdom today.  There is an Avatar area that is new, since we last visited.  There are two rides in that area, and one proved to be our favorite ride there.  Low crowds meant we could ride it over and over!

Winding through the line to the Flight of Passage.

Caden and Laura with their 3D glasses on ready for the ride!

The ride was on these motorcycle type seats.  Then the experience was as if you were riding on the back of a winged mountain banshee.

Over to the Safari.

Annabelle up close and personal with a giraffe.

A family photo op after the safari.

A family pic in front the of the tree.

The Na'vi River Journey was by far the longest wait we had today.  Finally on the boat.  The ride was fine, but definitely not our favorite.

Laura and Caden during the ride.

Annabelle and Laura were the only ones who wanted to ride the big roller coaster, Everest.

The temperature started dropping, and we weren't appropriately dressed.  Annabelle got a rare cuddle with Caden on the train to Rafiki's Planet Watch.
