Star Wars Weekend at Disney Hollywood Studios

On May and June weekends you can check out some of your favorite Star Wars heroes at Disney Hollywood Studios. You can even catch a few shots of the 501st Legion on duty. I would suggest that you get to the park early because it does get crazy busy later in the day. Get there early because usually the park opens early and I got there at 7:45 AM and the park was already open and these were not the early magic hours.
Most of the activities do not start until 9:00 AM, but if you want your child to participate in the Jedi training school, then arriving early is your goal because the line to sign up at 8 AM was a one hour wait.
Get there early, ride

 a couple of times, jump over and enjoy the

 then take a few shots at 

Toy Story Mania! | Walt Disney World Resort

 At 9 AM take your time and walk around to get some pictures of all of the characters and remember that most of the photo location will have different characters at different times so make sure you check the schedules so you do not miss your favorite Star Wars character.

Enjoy the pictures:

A great place for a vacation

Feels like home

Going, going and Sold for two light sabers!

Galatic symbol for touchdown.

Are those ears of hair rolls?

Do not look down...

Too hot for wool.

Are you having a great vacation and do you like what I am wearing?

So is she telling the truth? The Force will reveal if you are not being truthful.

I guess that I should end this with and even though it has been said many times:

"May the Force be with You"

SeaWorld new Turtle Trek experience 2012

If you like or love sea turtles, then you need to see the  new Turtle Trek experience at SeaWorld Orlando. This is a 3D 360 movie that is more like 4D and designed to show you the journey that a sea turtle makes from birth to giving birth over a 20 year span in 7 minutes. That seems like a short time window, but you get caught up in the experience of surviving the race to the Ocean while avoiding several predators, avoiding killer sharks, swimming with jellyfish and finally after a 20 year journey returning to the same beach where you were born to start the cycle over again by building your own nest.
After you leave the dome spend some time watching the three larger and several smaller sea turtles swim in the turtle lagoon.
Next checkout the One Ocean show in the Shamu stadium and the Blue Horizon show. There are several picture below of each of the shows.

 The Spring time is a great time to get out and enjoy the weather plus you can catch some really nice shows. Also take some time to look at all of the flowers and why not sit down for a few minutes and relax and watch the animals.
