The third day of our vacation we decided to head over to Hollywood Studios. Little J was anxious to check out the new Toy Story 4-D ride, so we looked for that first. It did not disappoint. We did have to wait in line for almost an hour as their was a lot of interest in the ride since it is new.

Disney trip – days one and two
We had been planning for our Disney vacation for so long, most of our passes/tickets were bought WAAAY ahead. Including our plane tickets, which we booked about 9 months ago.
