Chapter 29
Shane and Oliver studied the Hollywood Studio's map while Joe kept an eye on the kids. Lucas and Matthew wanted to go to Star Wars land and Toy Story Land, but all Julia wanted to do was see Olaf and go to the Frozen sing-along. They were trying to decide if it would be easier to meet up in Hollywood Studios or at Epcot as that's where there were going in the afternoon.
"Julia and I have a fast past for the Frozen sing-along in an hour. Then we'll go and see Olaf. After that I might as well take her to Epcot. The line for seeing Elsa and Anna is always long and we have a Fast Past for the ride in the afternoon. I think the best thing would be for us to meet up with you Joe and the boys in in the building where Living with the Lands and Soaring is. We can have lunch go on those rides and then we can go to the Finding Nemo ride and look at the aquarium, after that we can spend the rest of the afternoon going through all of the country pavilions."
"Yes," Oliver nodded his head, "That sounds like a good idea." "I think you set up some of the Fast Passes for the boys as well. Do we just tap these bands like before?" Oliver asked referring to the Magic Bands they were wearing.
"Yeah. Joe has all the Fast-past times on his phone too," Shane told her husband. She turned around to wear Julia was acting out a song from Frozen for her brothers and grandfather. "Julia, sweetheart, we're going to go and see Olaf now. Say goodbye to your brothers, Daddy and Grandpa we'll see them later."
"Why aren't you coming with us?" Matthew pouted as he got back into the double stroller.
"I wish I could, but you boys don't want to see Frozen and Julia isn't interested in Star Wars or Toy Story. You boys can have a lot more fun here for longer if we separate for a bit. I'll see you later," Shane promised her son, "You and Lucas can tell me all about the Star Wars ride."
"Okay," Matthew nodded his head."
"Before we go I want to make sur we have everything you'll need Julia," Shane quickly went through her purple backpack, "Here you hold your autograph book for Olaf, and here's your stuffed Olaf, Anna and Elsa" She handed Julia thee book and the toys. Looking though the rest of the bag she saw she'd have everything Julia would want, "Alright," She put on the backpack, "I think we're all set to go."
"Bye," Julia waved as Shane unlocked the stroller and then began pushing it in the direction, they wanted to go in. Since it was still early in the day the line to meet Olaf wasn't as long as Shane was expecting it to be.
When it was her turn to meet Olaf Julia smiled as Olaf began pointing excitedly at her toys, "Oh, Olaf loves seeing his friends," A Cast Member explained, "Do you think he could borrow them and play with them?"
Julia eagerly handed Olaf over the dolls and watched in delight as he put them out on his prop beach chairs and gave the plush Olaf a kiss before sitting him on top of a snowman.
"Yay! Olaf loves snow," Julia clapped her hands and jumped up and down with exactment. She ran to the character Olaf and gave him a huge hug, "My names Julia."
The character Olaf knelt down to Julia's level and gave her a hug. Then he collected Julia's stuffed toys and gave them one last hug and handed them back to Julia.
"Now Olaf can't sign autographs because he's still learning how to write but you can have a sticker," The cast member handed Julia an Olaf Sticker.
"Thank you," Julia placed the sticker on the Olaf page of her book.
Later on, during the day after finishing in Star Wars Land Oliver, Joe and the twins stood looking at the roller coaster Slinky Dog Dash. They had Fast Passes for it but now Matthew wasn't too sure.
"It goes really fast," Matthew watched the roller coaster, "And there's a drop." He observed, "It looks scary. I don't like big drops."
Oliver looked at his son, he could understand his fears, "I know it looks scary; I think though it's important to try new things. Why don't we go in line and then if you still don't want to ride it once were at the front then you don't have to."
Matthew looked at the ride again, "Well Slinky Dog is funny," He laughed a little as the characters on the ride talked to each other. "I'll go,"
Although at first Matthew was a little scared while on the ride, he ended up loving it. After the roller coaster they went on a few more rides. "Can we meet Woody?" Matthew asked as he saw the character signing autographs.
"He's with Buzz, Jessie and Bo Peep," Lucas added, "Please can we wait in line?"
"Sure, but have a little snack you must be getting hungry," Oliver reached into their bags and handed them each a bag of trail mix Shane had put together before the left Denver.
As the boys finished eating their snacks, they got a little board in line, so they started looking through their character book. It was Matthew's turn to give it to the characters, so he was holding it as he and Lucas flipped through the pages. When they got to the front of the line they got out of their stroller and started walking.
"Hello, if you just wait right here, you'll be the next family to see Woody and his friends," A Cast member told the family as they got to the front of the line.
Matthew looked at the man's nametag and then grinned jumping excitedly hr turned to Lucas, "Lucas look, read the nametag," He told his brother.
"We found you!" Matthew grinned excitedly, "Daddy, Grandpa, did you see, did you read Kyle's name tag," He asked.
"I think you boys should tell Kyle why you are so excited. He might be a bit confused," Oliver explained to his son's,
"We're from Denver too," Matthew began to explain to Kyle, "We've been reading everyone's name tag. We really wanted to find someone from Denver, You're from Denver."
"Oh well then I'm very glad you found me," Kyle smiled, "I have to go on a break right now but I'll wait for you over there," He pointed to where guests exited after meeting the characters, "Then we can talk more about Denver."
"Oh no we do not want to intrude on your break," Olive began.
"It's no problem, I love meeting people from Denver too," Kyle smiled and then walked away.
When Matthew and Lucas met Woody, Buzz, Jessie and Bo Peep, Lucas happily explained how he loved police detectives and that his aunt Dale was a kind of police officer. Woody gave each boy a sheriff sticker badge and Buzz Lightyear gave them a Space Ranger sticker badge. Then after signing their autograph book Matthew and Lucas went to see Kyle again.
"Cool stickers," The young man smiled, as Matthew and Lucas approached, "Do you miss Denver? Is it snowing yet?" He wondered.
"Not yet but when it does Grandpa's taking me snowboarding," Lucas exclaimed.
"That idea has not been agreed upon yet," Oliver told his son. Although his father and Shane both thought it was fine for Lucas to learn how to snowboard, he wasn't so sure it was a good idea. It seemed a bit too dangerous for a boy so young.
Lucas momentarily pouted before looking back up at Kyle "Do you miss Denver?" He asked.
"I do, sometimes, I try to go back when I can, but I do love it here at Disney. I've met people from all around the world. If you boys want to meet lots of cast members from different countries, you should go to Epcot.
"We're going there now," Matthew conformed.
"Only people from the actual countries can work at the Epcot versions of the countries. Before you go though, I think I have some things you may need," He led them into a nearby store, "Now I'm going to get you what you'll need to go country hopping in Epcot. Why don't you each pick out a toy you want. I'm so impressed you are learning everyone's names, and so honored you live in Denver.
"Daddy, can we?" Mathew looked up at Oliver.
Oliver knew the cast members at Disney were supposed to go above and beyond to make the guests days. He however did not want them to go through a lot of trouble, "You boys pick something and then come show it to Grandpa and I. I want to endure it is not too much money.
"Hey, how about this," Joe pointed out a toy Slinky Dog, "I used to have these when I was little. They can walk downstairs,
"Cool," Lucas looked at the Slinky dog, "And he looks like the ride. Daddy can I get slinky?"
"Sure," Oliver confirmed, he then looked to see Matthew looking at LEGO sets and figured they'd be too expensive, "Matthew, I promise Mommy and Daddy will buy you a DISNEY LEGO set before we leave. How about for now you look at a something else. How about a set of Toy Story figurines? You could use them in your LEGO set.
"Can I get this LEGO set?" Matthew asked.
Oliver picked up the set and then looked at the price. It wasn't as expensive as he thought it would be, and considering he'd already gotten Lucas a toy for the similar amount when they were in Star Wars Land, he though it woukd be alright.
"You get the figurines and go and give them to Kyle. I'll buy this," Oliver instructed.
"Thank you," Matthew took a box of Toy Story figurines and went off to where Kyle was standing with Lucas and his grandfather.
When Oliver, Joe and the boy's ha first arrived at Epcot Joe had texted Shane. When Shane replied saying she and Julia had just in line to meet Elsa and Anna he figured they still had plenty of time. They went on Test Track which was a huge hit with the boys then they went over to the ride Mission Space.
"Lucas, Matthew," Oliver called them over to where a warning was set up, "This ride mimics an actual space flight. There are three different intensity levels. The green level is the one least like an actual space mission, I suggest we ride the green level first, then we can move on to yellow and red if you feel you are able to manage.
"I want to go on a real space flight!" Lucas all but ran into the line followed by Matthew who was just as excited. They went on the Green level which Matthew loved but Lucas found boring. On the yellow level Lucas and Matthew both loved being able to push buttons. On the reed level although first a little shocked at how fast the ride had been loved it.
"I want to go to actual space! Lucas said as they walked out of the exit of the ride.
"Me too! I want to be an astronaut!" Lucas grinned.
Oliver knew he and Shane had talked about going to the Kennedy Space Centre the following day and decided to see if the boys would be interested, "You know boys if you want to learn more about astronauts and space travel we should go to the Kennedy Space Centre tomorrow. That's where real space missions have taken off from and they have a museum filled with information. I think they also probably have some astronaut simulations much more accurate than the ride."
"Oh cool!" Lucas jumped up and down, "I want to go! I want to learn all about astronauts" He climbed into the stroller and then picked up the Kidcot passport Kyle had given him and Matthew.
"Was Kennedy an astronaut was he a President?" Matthew asked as he climbed into the stroller. "Or was he both?"
"President Kennedy helped create NASA. NASA is the space organization. So, the building and museum is named after him. He was not an astronaut. Do you know who the first astronaut in space was?" Oliver asked his sons when they didn't respond he continued, "It was Neil Armstrong. He was the vey first person to walk on the moon. You'll be able to learn more about that tomorrow.
"Cool!" Lucas and Matthew said at the same time.

A\N: I hope you liked this chapter. I tried writing the families going to the country pavilions a few different ways but it just seemed too boring and sometimes confusing. I also tried writing in something elseI really wanted to include, a Finding Nemo interactive experince but again I just couldn't seem to get it right, Even though I didn't writ about it they did go to the country pavilions and the Finding Nemo ride. I may mention it when the family gets back to Denver and Lucas, Matthew and Julia help unpack their bags.
Up Next: Either a chapter about them going to the Kennedy Space Centre (If I can research enough about it) or the family's last day at Disney where they go to Animal Kingdom.
