The last day of our trip was spent at Hollywood Studios.
We were at the park when it opened so we went to the Star Wars ride first. Rylee absolutely loved it so we went a second time right away. During that ride, she was picked as the "rebel spy" onboard the ship so her picture was up on the computer screen and Princess Leia gave an impassioned speech about how Rylee was the last hope and had to be protected. Of course, Rylee was in second heaven!
Here she is on a land speeder (?) outside the ride. She loved the Star Wars ride so much we ended up riding it 4 or 5 more times throughout the day - basically anytime we ended up in the area! And she was picked as the rebel spy on our last visit as well.
After Star Wars, we happened upon Sofia the first.
.
We waited in line for The Little Mermaid show and met Prince Eric, but then they had to cancel the show due to technical difficulties.
So we went on The Great Movie ride instead. Rylee didn't know many of the movies, but she loved the Wizard of Oz section at the end. After that, we saw the Muppets 3D show. I was surprised by how much Rylee loved it. She was totally that kid with hand outstretched trying to touch the 3D images. It was so cute!
When we left the show, we stumbled into Lightning McQueen and Mater. Jace would have loved seeing them!
Then Rylee and I took in the Beauty and the Beast musical while Jon rode the Tower of Terror twice. Rylee loved the broadway-style show. We hadn't been able to see Belle at Magic Kingdom (her area was closed for some reason) so this helped to make up for it.
After we had lunch, we saw the Disney Junior Live puppet show which featured Mickey & gang, Doc McStuffins, Sofia the first, and Jake & the Neverland Pirates. Rylee loves all those TV shows so she got into the puppet show too. Jon, however, did not enjoy the fact that we were sitting on the floor. He's not flexible enough for criss cross applesauce anymore!
We walked around a little bit and Rylee bought a princess night gown. Then she saw Ralph and Venellope from "Wreck it Ralph" so we had to wait and met them.
They had reopened the Little Mermaid show by then so we were able to see that before our fastpass for the Toy Story ride. That was my favorite ride. Basically you get moved around in front of carnival style scenes and you shoot at the targets. So fun! Jon trounced us points-wise (not a big shocker there).
We ended our day with a stunt show and, as already mentioned, going on the Star Wars ride 4 more times (twice on the way to the stunt show and twice on our way out of the park I think). Rylee also stopped at a store to spend the last of her money on a Dumbo stuffed animal. :)
The park closed at 6, but we snuck out around 5, took the shuttle back to our hotel to pick up our car, and got on the road. Even so, we didn't get home until after 10. It was truly a magical trip and one, I hope, Rylee will remember forever. Can't wait to go back with Jace in a couple of years!
