Trev's Wish Day!! Star Wars Weekend!! We woke up early and had breakfast
on the go. For the first time in days the sun was shining bright, white
fluffy clouds in the sky and our little lizard friends were out to
greet us again! NO sight of rain today! Low 90's forecasted!! I was SO
happy that after days of rain it was GONE!! We got to HS at 9:45am and
met our tour guide, Rachel, at 10:30. We were expecting to be in a large
group but we had her to ourselves!! Only one other wish kid had asked
for SWW for that day so we both had our own tour guides!! How cool is
that!?!
Trev was asked to be in the motorcade parade so we checked with our tour
guide and she said "yes" he can be in the parade. He was SO excited to
be a Jedi in the parade rather than sitting on the sidelines watching
it! The smile on Trev's face was PRICELESS! He had on his Jedi robe and
walked the parade. Luckily it was still morning so the heat hadn't
started bothering him too much at this point. The rest of us got
reserved seating while Scott walked in the parade with Trev. I wasn't
able to get any pics as I had both girls on my lap and sitting down it
was hard to get pics. We were told that the professionals would be
taking pics and we would get a copy... Later that night we realized they
did not get any good shots of Trev. SUPER bummed about that! Same thing
happened when the girls met Ariel. We took a little video of the girls
thinking we could get pics from the photopass but somehow all our Ariel
pics were lost!
After the parade we got Mickey Ice Cream sandwiches then we were off to a
private meet and greet. The other wish kiddo was there too. We met
Chewbacca, Queen Amadalla and Chip and Dale. The characters were with
the kids for about 5 minutes or so before they headed off. We had to
wait about a half hour before going to our lunch reservations. In the
meantime Trev was presented with a Star Wars gift basket. It was pretty
cool! It had pins, buttons, shirt, hat, poster, calendar, magnet, a
couple star wars figures and a couple little cars.
Then it was off to lunch at the Sci-Fi dine in movie theater. Our
wonderful tour guide was able to get us last minute reservations. This
was the first time we actually sat in a restaurant our whole trip.
Before this we either had counter service or ate the sack lunches we had
packed each morning. We then were off and got to see Darth Vader, Jedi
Mickey, storm troopers and Phinneas. Even with a private tour guide we
did not have time to take in half of what SWW had to offer let alone the
rest of HS. So if any wish kiddos out there want SWW as their wish make
sure to ask for ALL 3 days!!
The only ride we had time for was Star Tours. Allie and Trev backed out
at the last minute so they stayed with the tour guide while the rest of
us went on it. Of course they wanted to later in the day but there was
NO time! It was SUPER hot outside! Lots of sunscreen and water today! It
felt WONDERFUL. We sure preferred this over all the rain we had the
days before!
We were then off to see Stars of the Saga. Trev and the girls were not
impressed. Knowing now what it was about I would have declined this and
met some of the other characters Trev wanted to see. Then we raced over
to Jedi training. Trev was SO excited!! This is what he had been waiting
for!!
While Trev was preparing for Jedi training the girls and I had another Mickey ice cream treat
Trev battled Darth Vader and won!! He then used the force on the storm
troopers! After Jedi training it was off to watch the voices show. It
was pretty cool how one guy can do SO many voices! The kids thought it
was cool at first but not really there thing overall.
We then stopped and got pretzels and R2-D2 snack packs. We were able to
get reserved seating for Hyperspace Hoopla but the only bad thing is we
were behind so many rows of people the kids (or I ) couldn't see very
well. We then headed off to Fantasmic. It was a GREAT show!! FINALLY we
were able to watch a show since it was DRY!!!! At 9pm we finally ate
dinner as the show was starting. The kids had a blast!
Today went by SO fast! But it was still an AMAZING day!! I really think
that if you want to really experience SWW you need to go all 3 days. We
felt rushed at times and felt we missed a lot. But we still had a great
day! Our tour guide was AMAZING!! Now that the sun has finally come out
we are wanting to stay longer. But of course our flight leaves tomorrow
evening. The kids have been AMAZING all week even though we have been
staying out late each night and getting up early. At least we have the
whole day tomorrow and now that the sun is out maybe we can get some
more adventures in....
