Fun Stuff Along the Way

Today is the first of three days at Walt Disney World. We went to Hollywood Studios first. The Star Wars section of Hollywood Studios was under construction the last time we were here. We decided to go there first before the lines got too long. Since we did not stay on site, we had to
