The Ursic Family: Day at Disney

Thanks to a really sweet friend, we were able to go to Disney on Saturday! I told the boys on Friday and they were so excited. We looked at some of the rides and things to do online and they were very excited to do the Toy Story rides. We started our day at Hollywood Studios so that we could do the Toy Story Mania ride and meet Lightning McQueen and Mater. We got in the line for the Toy Story ride and then a few minutes later they made us leave because it wasn't working and they didn't know when it would be running again. I was so disappointed because that was the main reason we went there. So we went over and got in line to meet Buzz. The boys had fun taking pictures with some of the decorations while waiting in line. Austin was excited when he saw Buzz but then once we got close he wouldn't turn around for a picture. Rexford stayed back of course :) Next we went over and found Luigi's tire shop to see McQueen and Mater. The boys loved this but were a little nervous about the loud engine noises. They were so excited to find a penny machine there too and both got one with their favorite Cars characters. Then we took them over to the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground and let them have fun on the slides for a bit. Then we decided to check the Toy Story ride again and it was open! So we got in line (50 minutes) and waited. I was surprised how well behaved the kids were for waiting in such a long line. They had a snack and were really good. It was a long wait but it was a really fun ride! You get to wear 3D glasses and ride around and shoot at fun targets. They loved it and wanted to do it again.

Then we left and ate lunch in the car on the way to Magic Kingdom. Rexford wanted to do the Buzz Lightyear ride first but ended up getting Fast Passes for those and then going over to wait in the race car line instead. Of course they loved the cars. I let Austin do all the steering and he did pretty well. It really wasn't too jerky at all :) Then we took a relaxing ride on the people mover ride and then did the Buzz ride. We did the Winnie the Pooh ride, Mickey's Philharmagic Show, the carousel, It's a Small World, Aladdin's Magic Carpet ride, and of course rode the train around the park because they love trains. It was so funny to watch the boys during Mickey's Philharmagic 3D show. Rexford reached out trying to touch something and Austin said, "whoa!" and they were both pretty amazed. We didn't take pictures with any other characters but we did get to see Jesse and Woody, Daisy, Minnie, and Pluto, and a few others around. We were all pretty tired and left around dinnertime but we had a really fun day together. It was a great day and we were so glad we got to go and have fun and let the boys see their favorite characters.

Austin and Rexford ready to have fun at Disney!
