We started out bright and early this morning at 6:30 am to drive to the airport. Finley enjoyed a breakfast taco feast, then a couple short hours and one viewing of Frozen later, we were in Orlando. Unfortunately, Clifton had about an hour delay, so Finley and I headed to Friendly's for lunch (and ice cream!) She proclaimed it the best restaurant ever, such a smart girl. She selected a pink balloon and said we had to visit every day for lunch for our whole trip. After a trip to Wal-Mart to stock up on snacks and water, it was back to the airport to pick up Clifton. We checked into our room at Coronado Springs and Finley was given two more balloons, it was a balloon filled day. After unpacking all our things, we drove over to Hollywood Studios. We were able to ride Star Tours, Toy Story Midway Mania, Tower of Terror and the Great Movie Ride. But the highlight for Finley was being selected to hold the key and be the star of The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow. A friendly cast member came up to Finley while we were waiting in line and asked if Finley wanted to star in the show, of course she did. Her job was to hold up a key and yell "Aye" when the skull asked her who possesses the skull key. She did a fantastic job and wasn't scared at all. She was a bit frightened during the Alien scenes in the Great Movie Ride, but loved the rest. Finley also prefers the WDW Tower of Terror to the Disneyland version, I like the Disneyland version better because I know exactly what to expect.
The magic bands have been working great so far, but they are quite sweaty, which annoys both Finley and myself. It was nice to be able to ride three headliners in three hours with a 5 pm arrival time. Tomorrow we plan to visit Animal Kingdom in the morning, then hit the pool and conclude our night at the Magic Kingdom.
