And Were Back...

     Whew...I love going on vacation, but sometimes it just feels good to be back home.  We had a blast on our vacation with so many things to do and see.   So I don't overwhelm blogger, I will post them in different installments.  Up first was our day at Hollywood Studios Orlando.  We got in super late on Friday night and ended up getting a later start than what we hoped, but in the end it all worked out and we spent the entire day at the park.  The kids had such a great time there.  A piece of advice if you are planning a trip to Disney and go to Hollywood Studios, try to get as many character signatures there as you can.  The lines tend to be much shorter and the characters more readily available than at Magic Kingdom.  And for more advice, I usually plan out what days we are going to do what prior to leaving for a trip, but not much further than that.  This time I found some great sights here and here (multiple links within each) that helped me to maximize my time at each of the parks.  Two of the greatest recommendations for us was getting the fastpasses for Toy Story Mania first thing in the morning and utilizing the child swap for rides that we all wanted to go on, but Noah was still a little too short for.

A little alien fun.

Meeting Woody and Buzz.  They just loved Noah's hat.

Of course we had to get a picture with Lightning McQueen.
