Sunday morning we had another early start to our day. We had to be at Hollywood Studios quite early. It was the last day of a special Star Wars event they were having so they opened the park early for the general public.
Usually the group with the Warners get in a little before the general public so if we wanted to do that we had to be there even earlier than usual. We especially didn't want to miss out on this because the first ride of the day was Toy Story Mania...one of the most popular rides in all of Disney World. Kurt had promised Kyson that he would ride with him on this ride and Kyson was really excited about that. When we were walking to the ride, Kurt picked up Kyson and carried him to the ride.
We got to go on it once and then we ran around to the beginning and got to do it again. SO FUN!!! This ride is like an arcade game where you try and get as many points as you can. I rode with Jesse Warner and she completely annihilated me both times! Ha!
After riding Toy Story we headed to a show where they asked for volunteers. Jared thought it would be fun so off he went. They had the volunteers be "actors" for a movie. They filmed them pretending to get bombed while on a boat and then made it into a quick movie. It was quite funny to watch their expert acting:)
Next we rode on a tram that took us around to look at how movies are made. We saw a few different old movie sets and they showed us a few tricks they use in filming movies. Pretty interesting!
After that we split up again for the rides. Of course our amazing volunteer, Rory, took our kids and we headed off to ride the bigger rides...Rockin' Rollercoaster and Tower of Terror.
This first picture is from Rockin' Rollercoaster. That was an AWESOME ride. Probably my most favorite of all the rides I got to ride.
Here is some of our group on Tower of Terror. I remembered not liking this ride at California Adventures so I was a little nervous. I had fun but it's still not my favorite...
Once we did that we headed to the "car show." I don't remember what it is really called but it was definitely one of our boys most favorite parts of the entire trip. This is one of the things they talk about every time someone asks them about Disney World. They especially loved the cars and motorcycles jumping through fire! Then, Lightning McQueen showed up!
Seriously...our boys were in heaven! Cars...motorcyles...fire...SO COOL!!! :)
After the show we all got to go down to the set and meet all of the drivers and see all the cars. Our boys kept asking to see Lightning McQueen but he was already gone.
I probably shouldn't add this next picture in but I have to laugh. Kyson DID NOT want to take a picture...obviously!
Then, I told him he was only going to be able to play my iPod if he smiled and was happy for the picture.
You would never have known he was throwing a fit two seconds earlier! We definitely had a love/hate relationship with the iPods!
After the car show, we were all very hot and very hungry. We walked to a place where they had a special lunch prepared for us (in an air conditioned room!!!). It was great to sit down and relax in a cool area for a while.
When we finished eating it was time to go our separate ways. We knew we had to take Kyson to see Buzz Lightyear right away so we wouldn't miss him before he had to go to the parade. Rory helped us get our kids headed in the right direction. He was so great:).
Meeting Buzz Lightyear was so awesome for the boys. We walked over there and didn't have to wait in the long line waiting to meet him. They just took us around to the back and let our boys have as long as they wanted. Kyson's facial expressions say it all! (sorry for the overload of pictures but I love them all!)
Family picture!
Even Brooklyn got a turn saying hi!
After saying hi to Buzz and Woody we went to find Lightning McQueen and Mater. I know they were excited to see them, but I think watching McQueen in the car show was more exciting than taking a picture just standing next to him!
After meeting the characters we decided to head out of the park. As we were walking out we heard that the parade was about to start. We decided to stop long enough to watch the parade.
(this is just a video of the parade. I only put it here because my boys love to watch it. Don't feel like you need to watch the whole thing:)

Love the pictures of you riding the rides and Kyson's faces as he was meeting Buzz. You can even tell he is standing like Buzz with his hands on his hips. So fun!
