We arrived at the Disney All Star Sports Resort right around bedtime last night.
We finally got the boys settled down and in bed around 10pm. Then it was up bright and early this morning. We decided to hit Disney Hollywood Studios first because those staying at the resort got to enter the park an hour early!!
We RAN right for the Toy Story Midway Mania ride because last year we totally missed the ride. They ran out of Fast Pass tickets and the wait time was showing 120-140 minutes so we skipped it. We had to wait 5-10min to get on the ride. It is a 4D adventure where you sit in pairs in cars the spin and you shoot at targets that are in 3D.
We hit the Fast Pass station right after the ride so we could go again!!
Then it was off to Star Tours, a Star Wars flight simulator. Joey was less than half an inch too short to go on this ride L. Mommy, Alan, and Eddie, left him screaming with Daddy. There was NO WAIT for the ride and they boys had a blast.
With NO WAIT, Mommy took screaming Joey and Alan (he didn’t want to go again for some reason) to the bathroom while Eddie and Daddy rode the ride again!!
Then Daddy took the boys to the Muppets in 3D.
Mommy was off to audition for the American Idol cast. The auditions are ran just like for the real show. They tell you to come up with your own 30 seconds of a song you know and hand you an approved song list in case you make it to the next stages. Then you go in a very small room with one casting crew member and sing. They give you feedback and either give you an audition number to go on to the next phase of the audition or in my case give a bit of encouragement with “a little too pitchy” and send you on your way.
I found the boys at the Muppet Show exit and we were off to see Lightning McQueen and Mater for a few pictures.
Then it was off to the Studio Backlot Tour. They showed us some cool special effects and we got on a tram to ride around the “Backlot” then we watch a semi truck in a canyon catch fire and get flooded.
When we were waiting for the gates to the park to open they gave us a FREE Fast Pass to the first Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show. We finished the Backlot Tour just in time to get to our seats for the show. With all that running Joey was wiped out!
The show ended within the time for our Toy Story Midway Mania Fast Pass tickets so we were off once again.
After the ride the boys flew to the gift shop. They had been asking to get a toy all morning. We drug 2 of them out kicking and screaming and decided it was time to catch the shuttle bus back to the hotel and have PBJ lunch and NAP before thinking about going back to the park!!!
While I was in the lobby writing and discovering that they no longer offer FREE Wi-Fi in the lobby the boys were terrorizing their sick daddy!! Alan did crash, but Eddie and Joey were bouncing off the walls. I took Joey out and made Eddie lay down. I had Joey run down the football field to try and wear him out for awhile.
When we got back to the room Alan was awake and I don’t think Eddie ever did sleep. We gave up and decided to head back to Disney Hollywood Studios. Eddie and Daniel decided to go on the Tower of Terror (Alan said he didn’t want to go so Alan, Joey and I waited at the end of the ride in the gift shop)
Eddie had a BLAST!!!
Then we went to check out Aerosmith’s Rockin’ Rollercoaster. Eddie was an inch under the height requirement and totally bummed out. We got a parent swap ticket and sent Daniel and Alan on their way.
Then it was off to Rosie’s for real food dinner.
After dinner it was off to the Animation Courtyard to meet some characters. Joey was in awe when he saw Mr. Incredible!!!
They closed the line to meet the characters from UP and the line for Sorcerer Mickey was WAY TOO LONG!!!
By the end of the show Daniel was feeling very sick and everyone else was cranky and over tired so we headed for the shuttle bus back to the hotel.
When asked “What was your favorite thing today?” on the way to the bus stop Alan and Eddie both answered American Idol and Toy Story!!
