Disney World Day 1 - HollyWood Studios

Welcome to the Bell Family Disney Vacation. We arrived in Florida late Friday afternoon, exhausted, but ready to go...although Mom and Dad were not quite ready to tackle any parks, so we decided to stay at the resort and hit the pool. Thank you Karen for the suggestion! The kids loved it, although it was probably about 65 degrees, the pool was heated and they didn't freeze too badly.

So, day one began bright and early with a character dining experience at Hollywood Studio's Hollywood and Vine restaurant. The buffet breakfast was DElish! and the kids loved seeing and dancing with all their favorite playhouse disney characters.


Before we were seated for breakfast, Adam made sure to run and grab Fast Pass tickets for everyone to ride the new Toy Story Ride. So much fun! While we waited for our Fast Pass time slot, we took pictures with Buzz and Woody. In the line to take those pictures, there were plenty of photo ops to take advantage of. Here are a few...




We saw Stitch and Chip 'n Dale and stayed for a High School Musical show that was very entertaining. Indiana Jones had a pretty cool special effects show as well.


BUT...the best part of the whole trip happened when the kids discovered the Jedi training.Josh, Nona and Bryson all discovered the force within as they learned the secrets of the Jedi. All came away with Padawan certificates which they treasure and take very seriously.

The day ended with Fantasmic. A truly awesome event filled with lots of lights and water...especially if you're in the very front row...which we were. :)
