A visit to the Star Wars attraction was first item on the agenda! 20150408-IMG_180120150408-IMG_1801

...followed by a walk around some of the impressive sets (that's a painted backdrop at the end of that street!) DSCF0190DSCF0190 DSCF0192DSCF0192 DSCF0193DSCF0193 DSCF0194DSCF0194 DSCF0197DSCF0197 DSCF0198DSCF0198

We loved the 'Rock 'n' Roller Coaster' - accelerates really fast, great fun! DSCF0199DSCF0199 DSCF0200DSCF0200 DSCF0201DSCF0201 DSCF0203DSCF0203

The 'Tower of Terror' really was quite terrifying... especially for poor Kitty who has a deep fear of lifts at the best of times!! 20150408-IMG_180920150408-IMG_1809 DSCF0204DSCF0204 DSCF0208DSCF0208 DSCF0212DSCF0212 DSCF0213DSCF0213 DSCF0214DSCF0214

We calmed our nerves after that by heading to Starbucks for a coffee. Whilst we were sitting on a bench enjoying our drinks we were joined by this couple. The woman had the squeakiest American voice ever heard and we had quite an entertaining time when she decided to join in with a Facetime conversation with my mother back at home!

Hollywood Studios conquered, it was time to catch the boat to the Disney Mini-golf complex. This turned out to be a lovely way to travel!

Erm, not sure that's supposed to be there! DSCF0364DSCF0364 DSCF0365DSCF0365

Kitty got a soaking from the Fantasia buckets... DSCF0391DSCF0391 DSCF0392DSCF0392

...and Henry deliberately got a soaking at the final hole, in an attempt to cool down! 20150408-IMG_182520150408-IMG_1825 20150408-IMG_182620150408-IMG_1826

Then we headed to Downtown Disney... 20150408-IMG_183020150408-IMG_1830 20150408-IMG_183220150408-IMG_1832 DSCF0397DSCF0397 20150408-IMG_183320150408-IMG_1833

... where Kitty and Henry made a purchase for a special little baby cousin! :) DSCF0398DSCF0398

Even managed to convince Henry to pose with a Disney Princess for Harriet's benefit... well, when she's a little older! DSCF0402DSCF0402

Every now and then the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney erupts... literally! DSCF0406DSCF0406 DSCF0408DSCF0408 DSCF0415DSCF0415
