A Great and Varied Day

While the kids napped Lisa and I took a walk to the arcade, where I earned a free game of pinball (natch) and miraculously beat her at air hockey. 

Then it was on to Hollywood Studio's, where we met three other families from WI. Although we only had ninety minutes to spare before a dinner reservation at Magic Kingdom, the fast passes did the trick.

We bypassed a 50 minute line for Tower of Terror and were rewarded by scaring the bejesus out of LK. Smiley was scared too but refused to scream or admit it. Midway through the ride LuLu yelled out to me in the dark "I love this ride!".

Then on to The Great Movie Ride, where the kids really seemed to soak up the atmosphere. I think a viewing of Raiders of the Lost Ark is on the horizon, and Smiley recognized Alien from the commercials for the new video game.

We did our first Team Slap pics in front of Mickey's hat (more on that later). We then headed over to an all Frozen store (!) where an overwhelmed LK struggled to narrow down her choices before getting an art set, snow globe, and a singing Elsa doll. That doll sang and sang and sang lol. Smiley also got a pin of that snowman character.

While I was there I stopped to check out some black and white photos of 30's-40's era actresses on the wall. An elderly man came up and dared me to name just one of the stars.  I quickly identified all eight of the women, to his pleasant surprise, then spent a minute  mutually talking about old movie stars and lusting over Veronica Lake. Frankly, such movie knowledge should be universal. 

From there it was a rush to the shuttle bus to get to Magic Kingdom, a ride where LK met 2nd grader from Ohio and OJ and I suffered when a rude couple refused to move towards the back of the bus and left us standing and squished up front. They were the first unpleasant people we've encountered here at WDW.
