There's something magical about the Disney Studios Animation lot.  While Lydia and I have visited the lot a ton of times together, it's been awhile since our whole family has stepped foot onto the magical ground.  A few days before the Incredibles 2 Press Junket, we were all invited to a screening of Incredibles 2.  To be honest, we were primed for the movie.  Our screening was a few weeks after Lydia and I travelled up north to the Pixar studios for Incredibles Day.  We've also watched the original Incredibles at least 10 times in the last month.

A decade and a half after the original Incredibles…..Incredibles 2 picks up right where the original story stops.  The Parr family's home has been destroyed, supers have been outlawed…..and the Incredible family is…..like the rest of us, just trying to provide for their family.  So what do you do next when you're qualified for ONE job and that job isn't exactly supported?  You change the landscape.  In Incredibles 2, the Parr family….with the help of an important benefactor set out to rebuild the reputation of all supers.  Much to the surprise of Bob……his wife Helen becomes the face of Supers and the parent working outside the home.  Enter issues, scenes, and emotions that all of us can relate to.

A Family Incredibles 2 Review: What We Thought

Carly's Thoughts: I loved the adult undertones in Incredibles 2.  As a mother who also works outside the home, I laughed my way through Helen's mishaps as she adjusted to working in her new role…..and cheered her on as she came into her own.  I loved seeing her as the main focus, and I LOVED the idea of her modeling to little girls everywhere that girl supers are just as super as their male counterparts.  Incredibles 2 has the perfect balance of kid appeal and adult humor.  It's one of the first movies I've seen a long time that I think will be enjoyed equally by adults and kids.  

One big question I got……do you need to have seen the first Incredibles to appreciate Incredibles 2? NOT AT ALL.  This is definitely a stand alone great film.  I think us die-hard fans will love it in a totally different way (I've been waiting 14 years to see Edna Mode again in all her glory)…..but you will love it even if you're new to the Incredibles franchise.

Lydia's Thoughts:  I loved it!  My favorite part was Elastigirl on her motorcycle.  There was one scary part, when the mean guy was fighting with Elastigirl…….but it was only a little scary.  The thing that was funny was the raccoon fight with Jack Jack.  I think kids will love this movie!

Robbie's Thoughts: I was a fan of the first Incredibles…..but I enjoyed Incredibles 2 more.  It's more exciting, the jokes were funnier, as a Dad I liked seeing Mr. Incredible in a new role with his kids.  The music was great, I'm a huge fan of composer Michael Giacchino…..and I think that his soundtrack is a great stand alone piece of music as well as an homage to old superhero classics.

🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀ ⠀ W 🎉HAPPY REOPENING DAY TOONTOWN!!!!!🎉⠀⠀We loved visiting yesterday for a preview of this reimagined area.  It’s absolutely perfect for getting your wiggles out, having a picnic and yup……..getting your Disney feels fix.⠀⠀My top recommendations when visiting this new area?⠀⠀1) mobile order from Cafe Daisy…..we loved the pizza options and the cold brew⠀2) play play play in Goofy’s How-To-Play Yard, and inside his house…..⠀3) take the time to walk through Minnie and Mickey’s houses, you’ll probably see a surprise friend or two!⠀4) absolutely yes to the picnic basket from Good Boy! Grocer.  It’s a STELLAR price and a really fun experience to pick out your own snacks.⠀5) Mickey’s and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a perfect full family ride.  I’d suggest trying for this earlier in the day if you can.⠀6) Keep an eye out for Pete, it’s so much fun to see him wandering the area.⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest
✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s j ✨There’s something in my eye…….oh it’s just pixie dust.⠀⠀When I think of Lydia’s earliest visits to Disneyland….I think of Toontown.  I think of Minnie’s House and meeting Mickey and playing next to Goofy’s House.  I think of the adorable landscape and the magic that the area creates for the youngest and the young at heart.⠀⠀✨Today we visited Toontown for a sneak peek before it’s reopening tomorrow…..and yup, that pixie dust definitely got in my eye.  More than once.⠀⠀Toontown is even more magical than it was (partially thanks to the addition of a cold brew on the menu at Cafe Daisy (good call Disney food and beverage team). ⠀⠀✨My favorite moments from today’s sneak preview?⠀1️⃣ we saw Pete. He’s even better than I’d hoped.2️⃣ I love love love the food options in Toontown! Highlights: the picnic basket snack option Good Boy! Grocers, the cold brew and a delicious gluten free fold over pizza (regular looked great too)3️⃣ the new play areas are amazing! Goofy’s How to Play Area is phenomenal and filled with a ton of new interactions. ⠀Happy reopening Toontown.  Can’t wait to see you again real soon. ⠀⠀Have you visited Toontown? Are you planning to come see all updates?⠀⠀#Disneyland #Toontown #Mickey #Minnie #MMRR @disneyland @disneyparks invited guest

There are people cheering you on…..and you don’t even realize it.I learned a LOT during the 7 months of training for this race.  I learned that I should stretch and warm up (thanks pulled muscle for that life lesson), I learned that small progress over time leads to achieving big goals.  I learned that sunshine and being outside makes me a happier person.  I learned that I’m more of an athlete than I thought I was. But most of all? I learned……there are a whole lot of people in your cheering section and you might not even know they’re sitting there.  After I pulled this muscle, I was amazed by the sweet and kind messages while I tried to prepare to run my first 10k with an injury.  But NOTHING prepared me for the ovwhelming amount of kindness and support that flooded into my inbox when I crossed the finish line.  From the early morning you can do this messages to the ones that came in throughout the race to the inspiring amount of support as I iced my pulled muscle…..it brought me to tears.And the amazing thing? When Jennifer and Lashawn and I found each other at the finish line….they said the same thing.  It’s not just me.  We all have a cheering section.  And wow, do they show up when you may not be expecting them.Got a big goal? Working on something new? Share it in the comments.  I’d love to join your support team.#medalmonday #rundisney
