What a great end to the school year! Appears your family is experiencing an awesome start to an Orlando vacation sorely needed this year. Be well and have so much fun.

Thank you. Exhausted, but having fun.

@Songbird76 I found some hoodies at a gift shop on the way out of Islands of Adventure tonight.

We did all 3 parks again today. Only were at Volcano Bay for an hour. We ate lunch at The Three Broomsticks. I had veggie sides, oldest had beef pasties, dh and ds had ribs and chicken, and the 2 youngest had mac and cheese. The only complaint was about the ribs being tough.
We went on Gringot’s, Transformers, Simpsons, some rides in the Seuss area, Flight of the Hippogrif, ET, Men in Black, ds went on Hulk. They don’t allow pictures from any rides.
Here are some more pics.

Yay!! Thank you! I'm so getting one this summer! Now to decide if I want another ravenclaw one, or if I want to go with a black Hogwarts one, non-house specific. My supervisor at work made a comment about me wearing the wrong sweatshirt because he didn't think I was a Ravenclaw. (um....ouch) I also want to get one at Disney so I can switch them out when one is in the laundry, but I don't know what kind to get at Disney. SO MANY CHOICES!!

Love your pictures! Is it a safety thing that you can't take any from the ride? Or is that more a copyright/trademark thing?

Blurg. Due to Disney's change of plans and opening Star Wars half completed we will be down there at the half Grand Opening. Don't know what to expect. We have opt out plans for Uni if it stupid, We are locked into DVC for our long fall trip. We go frequently enough that we hope to just roll with it. I feel for families that have to juggle cancelling their plans. That is always rough, so many of us are far more fortunate than others that have to bail given the unknown.

If Disney is too crazy UBER up to UNI for peace and quiet

I couldn’t even take any pictures from the Seuss Trolley so maybe it is a copyright thing? Or they don’t possibly want people dropping phones on guests down below. They had plenty of sweatshirts. They were all really nice. Oldest got a Hufflepuff embroidered sweatshirt. It is so soft. I totally think you are Ravenclaw.

My concern with Mickey and Minnie's Run Away railway before delayed so long is the crowds at DHS when Star Wars: Galaxies Edge first opens. I feel DHS does not have enough to handle the crowds when Star Wars: Galaxies Edge first open right now. I don't think Mickey and Minnie's Run Away Railway would fix that problem, but it would give more options for guests to go on at DHS.

It would help, but, I don't think that it is going to be that much difference. It is my feeling that the biggest crush is going to be from SW fans that came specifically to see SWL. Since they aren't issuing any Fastpasses initially it is my feeling that no one is going to leave the line once they are in it. If they left the line to see MMRR they would lose their place in the line. Not going to happen. The crowd will be horrendous, however, the extra crowd that came to see SW exclusively, are going to stay put until they get through the line. No other attraction is going to pull them away until they have seen that one at least 5 times. These are very patient** people.

Spoiler: **

In this case the word patient is defined as insane.

That was amazing!! (Love the soundtrack in the background--perfect accompaniment to the vintage vehicles.) I was going to ask about the ownership, but 93boomer already did. Surprised to hear that these cars, etc., are all garaged on the island--I had just assumed that some of these may have been located off-site, and perhaps shipped in for this event.

As well, I was very surprised by the number of vehicles that turned out for this parade-- wow! What a cool event you get to experience on your island!!!

Need to watch this later. On line for Gringott’s.

There were more than normal as it was the classic car clubs 50th. Might see more military vehicles next year as it is the 75th anniversary of the islands liberation from the Germans.

If I didn't know better, I'd swear your kid was on speed?! That was quite a day for the young athlete--he must have been exhausted.

It was a crazy day, but we did have time in between the games.. full 3.5 hours between the soccer games, we all went to Frisch’s restaurant, had the salad bar and enjoyed the AC.lol.

Volleyball was the end of season tourney, we got knocked out yesterday in the 3rd game. Volleyball season is officially over now. So we’re down to 2 sports!!

Had an 8am soccer game today, also knocked out of that tourney. I think many of the boys were too exhausted, they didn’t play well this morning. They played great yesterday.

We’re at Starbucks now then heading home to get ready for a 1pm baseball game. Hoping it doesn’t get rained out!!!
Big game, T is playing against his own school.

 

[21stamps]

Leaving for the game this morning at 6:30am.. he was full of energy, but I think the hour drive tired him out.

 

[Gabe1]

We have had enough rain.

In a heartbeat!!! Bonus their park food is better than the Studios and the Uber was cheap the last time we went to Uni

We decided to go to Hershey for the day.

My mom is currently laughing at me because I complained about a large group of unsupervised teens.

"Funny how your perspective changes when you're no longer a teen."

Yeah yeah yeah....

I am enjoying 88 degrees down here. Hoping the worst temperature I get back to will be 70. Waiting for the animal actors show at Uni right now.

No fishes.

The fish have been missing for awhile, now. Wonder if they are coming back?

I love the music.
