Day 6 – Back to Hollywood Studios!

September 7, 2008 · Filed Under Uncategorized · Comment 

We liked Disneys Hollywood Studios so much yesterday that we are back again! Oh and if you are noticing that the dates on these posts are soo not in sequence, I’m writing this up from my physical diary as I get the time.

Again up early, this time even early enough to see the pre-show routine (not that it worth getting to the park early to see it!) Once the rope dropped we made our way over to Rock n Roller Coaster and got some single rider runs in, 4 (2 each) in 20 minutes, not bad for peak tourist season! Also picked up some Fast Passes here.

Next we made our way up to Toy Story Mania and tried to improve on our scores here. Not much joy! I had the pleasure of having my son with me and we spent more time making faces at mum/wife than we did actually playing the game! Still great fun though.

Next back down to Tower of Terror and a fun time screaming! By this time the crowds had really arrived (10am) so was time to use those Fast Passes at Rock n Roller Coaster :-)   Really love walking past those queues!

A quick snack and we wandered up to the Backlot tour, bit of a queue here so had to wait a while. This is a show that brings you through the making of some special effects, quite a good show with lots of water cannons, flames, explosions and the like!

Close by is Backlot Express which serves up assortment of burgers, hot dogs, salads, chicken strips, sandwiches etc decent prices, quick service and hit the spot!

Today we decided to go all out, so no mid day break even though it was extremely hot! Next over to Muppet Vision 3D, our son loved this show, we do too, plus it is a very nice break in seats with air -con! so a good chance to cool down and relax. Just loves those 3-D glasses and trying to reach Kermit and all the characters he thinks are just in front of him.

Star Tours followed and of course we lingered too long in the shop afterwards and came away with Lightsabers, Boy are we going to regret getting those!

Next we were going to queue for Indiana Jones (Epic Stunt Spectacular!) but it was closed… not good! At this stage we’re close to the exit so we decide to head over to Epcot! gotta love those multi-park tickets. We decided to drive over rather than take the Disney buses as we were going to stay for the fireworks and go home from there.

My Nokia Navigator phone worked wonders here as yet again we forgot the map! gotta love GPS.
