Day 263: Disney World Day 5

Now that we had a little breather, it was time to head back into the parks. This day we were opening Hollywood Studios, and ending the day in Magic Kingdom. 

Buzz and Woody do Hollywood Studios

We got up super early to catch the FIRST bus to Hollywood Studios (a solid hour before the park opened), to make sure to be first in line to sign up for the ultra-popular Star Wars Jedi Academy, where the kids get to train to be a Jedi and fight bad guys on stage. 

Luckily, we were one of the first to sign up and got both kids into the first Jedi Academy show of the day. The show is fantastic, they get to wear Jedi robes and use lightsabers and the Force to defeat none other than Darth Vader himself (Camden and the younger padawans fought the Seventh Sister, an empire evil from Star Wars Rebels). Then, the whole group had to fight off Kylo Ren using the force. The show is very well done and the kids get a medal to commemorate their participation. Camden is still talking about using the force to fight off Kylo Ren. 

After the Jedi Academy, we did the Star Wars section of Hollywood Studios: the Star Tours ride and meeting Chewbacca and Kylo Ren. Randomly some stormtroopers marched by and yelled at Camden for being a rebel spy (he had an R2D2 Mickey ears on). The boys also got to build their own lightsabers and their own mini-droids too. 

Then, we went over to the Toy Story area and went on Toy Story Mania (the best ride in Hollywood Studios) twice and met Woody and Buzz. Since the kids were dressed as Woody and Buzz respectively, the characters spent extra time with them. We even stumbled upon a green army man outside the character spot and got a picture with him too. 

That was about it for Hollywood Studios for us. Because they were filming the (stupid) Christmas special for ABC there that day, they had cancelled the new Star Wars parade and a few other things. So we said peace out and went back to Magic Kingdom for the rest of the day. We arrived there just in time for the new and super cool Festival of Fantasy parade, and then went on a few rides and enjoyed our favorite park to the fullest.
