Disney Cruise : Day 5 (Disney World!!)

Disney World

We were up bright and early, one of the first buses off to the "happiest place on Earth". We celebrated Nathaniel's 5th birthday a day early while we were there.  We wore a special birthday button and all the workers told him Happy Birthday as we waited in lines.
We were very fortunate that it was overcast a slightly drizzling upon our arrival, the day stayed pretty cool and the lines were not too long.



Jedi Training Academy

This was the only surprise we kept from Nathaniel about this trip.  Disney's Hollywood Studios holds Jedi Training for kids ages 4-12.Honestly, Daddy may have been more excited about it than Nathaniel originally was...but he now has boasting rights that he is a real Jedi!

Our little Patawon

The Jedi Training Master teaches the kids moves and talks about not going to the dark side

The kids practice the moves and then....they come face to face with Darth Vader!

Each kid had a chance to show off their newly gained light saber skills


And at the end, they are awarded their own certificate as a true Jedi.  (Nathaniel did not want to leave the stage)

Cameron and Craig got in on this action too!


We are pleased to report none of the boys went over to the dark side!

Marissa had to settle for riding this unknown thing from Star Wars!

Animal Kingdom

Next stop, a safari ride and a special birthday song!





Then the grand finale....Magic Kingdom

We finally made our third park, Magic Kingdom.  The kids loved the rides, the parents loved the air conditioned shows, and a magical time was had by all!
