Day 8- Hollywood Studios & lots of Star Wars!!!

This entire day was devoted to everything Star Wars! Since it was Star Wars Weekend, Hollywood Studios had Star Wars everywhere, and I mean EVERYWHERE!!!! I must admit that I don't know much about Star Wars, but since my boys LOVE it, I tried to capture everything on film! I took a few hundred pictures this day, and here are my favorites!

The day started off with Storm Troopers hanging out on the roof tops!


This was Myles as he was looking at them! He was so excited!


The boys with a clone trooper!


Here is Myles with Queen Amidala. She spent so much time with him. She was asking him if he was a pod racer! Connor was in the bathroom during this time, but he did make it out in time!


After a few minutes of being inside, the boys really wanted to make a Star Wars potato head. We thought we had seen them at the Star Wars store, but when we made it to the store, we realized that we must have seen them somewhere else. So the boys HAD to have a light saber so we let them buy one. If we would have known what would happen later in the day, we would not have purchased one! You'll see why in a second!


Jango Fett & the boys!


Here the boys are with Babo Fett. We were kind of lucky to be able to find them so close together. We ended up being one of the last ones to see Jango Fett so we were able to get in the same line so we could see Babo Fett.


Connor sure is checking out the gun in the first picture! Aurra Sing was very interesting!


Here the boys are with a Jawa. We came across a group of Jawas later on and they wanted to give us 3 fast passes for the Star Wars ride for Myles! We decided not to trade!


Here the boys are with the blue power ranger. I know this picture is stuck in the middle of the Star Wars mania, but something really special happened on the way to see the power ranger that we had missed on Day 3!


Okay, here is the beginning of the boy's magical experience. While we were on our way to see the blue power ranger, a nice man named Michael stopped us to ask what we would be doing at 11:45? We said nothing, and then he asked if the boys would like to be Padawan's in the Star Wars Motorcade parade! We were so stoked to say the least! Here the boys are receiving their special bracelets that let officials know that they were in the parade!

Getting ready to go get in costume! Connor really was excited even though he didn't look like it here!

There are my 2 Padawans leading the pack! I was so, so excited for them! There was reserved seating for the parents that didn't walk in the parade. I chose to stay and take pictures while Kevin walked behind them. They came so quickly that I didn't get nearly as many pictures as I wanted!

My other Padawan!

There were only about 20 or so kids that were chosen so we felt really blessed that the boys were chosen!


Here the boys after they walked in the parade. Yes, they got to keep the light sabers, which means we only had 4 to keep up with instead of 2!! Yeah, Kevin and I weren't very thrilled about that!

The boys with a Sand Person!

The boys with Chewbacca. He was really sweet with the boys. I have some pictures of him talking with them that are priceless to us!

Here the boys are with Bith, although I accidentally cut off the 5th member!


My two Jedi Knights!

Check out how much attention the boys received here! Here they are with Mace Windu & 2 other characters. I'm still trying to find out the names! Okay the other characters are Shaak Ti & Kit Fisto! Good thing Myles was able to find the names from the Star Wars Lego Wii game!

Here the boys are with Jake Lloyd who played Young Anakin. We had to stand in this line as soon as the gates opened to get a fast pass that told us what time to come back to meet Jake Lloyd. The boys were so excited to meet him because he was just a little older than Myles when he played Young Anakin! He was really nice too!

My three Star Wars fans!


Here they are with Warwick Davis. After we received our fast pass to meet Jake Lloyed, we hopped in line to try and get a fast pass for Warwick. Well wouldn't you know that we received the first stand by tickets for him and weren't guaranteed to meet him. Thankfully the stand byers were chosen in numerical order & we had the first stand by ticket. Warwick was super nice too & was very funny! He also plays in the newest Narnia movie!

Luke Skywalker with the boys!

The last character that we caught up with was Darth Vader! He was so tall!

On our way out after a long day of seeing Star Wars!

Mommy finally tried to get in on the Star Wars action although she didn't really know what to do!


I'm throwing this picture in because it's the boys with an Army man! Since Myles loved playing army men with my dad, I was so excited to be able to get a picture of him with one!


Well I really thought that I would finish off our Disney trip this evening, but since the post was extremely long, I will try to finish the trip tomorrow. Up next is our last full day of theme parks, which include Epcot & Magic Kingdom!
