The Rest of Disney in Review 09/08/09
So since we have annual passes it really opened us up to taking our time and helped us not feel like we had to cram everything into 2 days worth of tickets. We got a little bit of extra time Friday night when we came in to Orlando, and Monday, after we checked out of the hotel, we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios for a few hours.
We started off with the Indiana Jones stunt show and we realized that Isaiah has seen way too many action movies for his young age because the majority of the bullet sounds and explosions didn't phase him in the least. I think I figured out he can handle the loud bangs when he sees what goes with them. The delay from the fireworks confuses and scares him since its not as readily apparent where the sound is coming from to him.
Hollywood studios doesn't have a ton of rides, and most of them aren't kid friendly so we mostly walked around, went through the Star Tours gift shop and a Narnia exhibit, before we went to the big hit of the trip, Playhouse Disney Live! Playhouse Disney is the Disney Channel's morning lineup of shows which, depending on when Isaiah gets up, he usually sees two or three of the shows each morning as Rachel is getting ready, or they're on in the background as he's playing. He knows the music from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Handy Manny and usually smiles and turns to the music whenever he hears it so we thought this show would be good for him. The show ended up being mostly puppets of all of the animated characters and he absolutely had a blast. When the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme started playing and the puppets popped up his smile went from ear to ear and his cheeks got so big you could barely see his eyes. He kept bouncing to the music and thoroughly enjoyed the whole show. It completely made the whole trip worthwhile. We hit the road straight from the park and got home about 10pm last night. We're still recovering a bit from our vacation, but it was well worth it.
We realized this was really our first family vacation on our own just me Rachel and Isaiah. We've gone on trips before but those were for surgeries and it just felt good to get away and spend some quality time with the family and 1,000's of strangers at Disney
