On our third day in Disney, we visited Hollywood Studios. In the morning, at the hotel, Arthur was dancing around singing "It's Star Wars day!"
At lunch at Hollywood Studios, there was a bold duck. Apt, considering we were at Disney World, ostensibly the home of Donald Duck. This duck actually flew up onto our table and started eating our food! And of course we let him until I had taken a picture, only then did we actually push him away. This was possibly the first time I've touched a live duck.
Watching the Lion King live show. Well worth the half hour!
The very first thing we did when we got to Hollywood Studios was to sign Arthur up for the Jedi Training Academy. There was already a huge line up, but Arthur made it in to the 2pm show. Arthur was still unsure about getting up on stage, even for Jedi Training, that Travis decided to volunteer for the Indiana Jones Stunt show to show Arthur that it wasn't scary to go up in front of a crowd. Travis was given a scene to act out, titled "Travis's Death Scene" which apparently isn't a recurring role according to the producer.

This tactic actually worked for Arthur and made him feel a lot better about going up and becoming a padawan. Jedi training was pure awesome. There are no other words for it. Arthur was the perfect age for it, and it was fantastic to watch. I especially like the part in the video where the Jedi Master declaims that there is a disturbance in the force, and Arthur immediately whips out his light sabre to fight off the dark side. This kid is prepared!
Also at Hollywood Studios was the photo-op with Lightning McQueen and Mater from Cars. Felix and I stumbled upon them while we were walking around the park. Arthur and Travis were busy going on a Star Wars ride called Star Tours 7 times (really) in a row. Apparently there was no line! I had tried to bring Felix to the Little Mermaid show in the meantime, but he decided it was too scary about 2 minutes into the show so we had to leave early. Either way, after the Star Tours marathon, and the Hollywood Stunt Show with cool car tricks and explosions, we went back with Arthur and Travis.
The boys were too tired to stay for the fireworks show at Hollywood Studios, so we wound up heading home to the hotel around 7pm instead.
