Nanny Jen got us reservations here for our first sit down Disney meal.
When they call a reservation, it comes by royal proclamation. So, yes,
it really does take a royal proclamation to get my kids to sit down.

Hey, I want you to know: we are the BEST Wildcats EVER. That’s what they said from the mobile HSM3 stage. I thought Zu was going to burst when she saw this. John hoisted her up to see better. Too much fun. There is video of this and other moments, but bandwidth limitations will mean they get posted after our return.

Star Wars Stat Tour is a simulator ride with that one-of–kind Disney plus-up. Zu was able to enjoy it once I explained we aren’t really falling, they’re just moving the room around. She clenched on tight to dad anyway. I’m not complaining. Nice to know one still thinks I am bullet-proof.

So, Zuzu is getting impossible. I figure she is hungry and my snack bag ain’t cutting it. So, We visit Pizza Planet to get her an 8-inch personal pizza and a drink. $12 later… Even Zuzu understood–that’s a lot. Though, it was a mighty tasty pizza…

This is all Kate has been talking about for a week. And now, it is all we will all talk about for weeks to come. You board an elevator in a haunted hotel. It takes you up to see ghosts of former guests. Then, it slides forward down a hallway that becomes a starry night sky before going completely black. And then, the fun begins. In pitch black, we’re shot up to just above that sign you see on the side of the building. But only for a moment–long enough for the elevator door to open and show you how high it is. And then, it’s a straight drop down. But wait, then it rockets you back up higher and drops you again–about 12 stories. I swear we were weightless for part of it. Stella says she was nearly lunchless. Best thing is, though, the ride is different everytime. Cool.
