They do this Jedi Academy but it was raining today so we walk into Star Tours and There is Vader in the disabled line...SCORE!  They stood there for a few minutes and Payne, my oldest, was LOVING it!  CW my youngest was a little unsure...it was funny to see him so close to Vader...he didn't know how to react.   :lmao:

I need to get more pictures.  This trip has been surprisingly low on pics.  I'll fix that tomorrow.   :-)

You the castle here is three times as big at the teeny tiny castle in California.  LOL  We haven't spent a ton of time at Magic Kingdom.  I will be sure to pay homage when we go for a long period of time though.   :-*

OR...you could tell your husbands you were going with each other, and go with me.

Well, there's an idea...

While you are there, have dinner at a place called O"Hannas.  Its on the 2nd floor of the Polynesian Hotel. Its all you can eat/adults $30 bucks...
BUT its great. They come by with skewers of flame roasted Turkey, steak, pork, and sausage.  and they feed you-I kid you not.
There are -quiet- activities for the young ones so mom and dad can have a nice meal.

SAVE room for desert. there is only one but its worth the price alone. Its bread pudding with a scoop of ice cream and a banana sauce.
it sounds goofy, but get a bit of each one on your spoon and its HEAVEN! I ate two of them (as much as you can eat here as wekk!).

don't plan on any activities later than night, you will all just waddle back to the hotel and digest.

this restaurant is so wonderful, that I planning another trip just for an excuse to go back.

enjoy your trip.

I was wondering if you could go to that hotel w/o going to Disney. It sound very good but it would be a really expensive meal if had to pay the Disney admission to go to that restaurant.

It is in the Disney Resort?  I would be more worried about those stupid costumed characters (except, of course, Jasmine and Belle) harassing you...
