We are back on track and back to being LIVE - woo hoo!!!!!
The alarm went off this morning at 7:30 again and we snoozed a few times, so much so we didnt have time to have breakfast at the hotel and headed to Hollywood Studios (DHS) at 8:30.
We parked in Stage and were close enough to walk to the entrance. We entered at 9:00 and headed, along with the masses, to Toy Story Mania. There was already a 30 min wait so we grabbed fast passes for 10:30. Whilst we waited for our slot, we did Tower of Terror which was a walk on and Rock n Roller Aerosmith which was about 10 mins. I forgot how much RnR really knocks your head about. Not sure if this was due to being at the very back.
Still wasnt Toy Story time, so we rode the Great Movie Ride and finally got the Cowboy side for a change lol.
It was finally time and we headed to the new ride Toy Story Mania. We entered the fast pass line - the normal line at 10:30 was now 60mins. You still have a bit of a wait with fast pass - we waited approx 20 mins but obviously this was nothing compared to the normal line. Wont give too much away about this ride apart from AWESOME, AMAZING & FANTASTIC AND I BEAT DH LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We grabbed another fast pass for 13:30 so we could ride again.
We decided to grab some pics and met some Power Rangers, Monsters, Cars, Mickey and the Incredibles.
For the first time ever, we did one mans dream, which we really enjoyed and also met Prince Caspian and did the Narnia Attraction which was just ok.
Rumbling in the stomach area suggested it was time for food and we grabbed a pizza at Pizza Planet, which was OK.
Muppets line was out the door so we skipped and just had a walk round the park and did a bit of window shopping.
The time came again and it was Toy Story Mania time. When we arrived all the fast passes had gone for the day and there appeared to be a few unhappy people about and complaining to the cast members around. The wait time was ....................110 mins!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wont make any comments about the ride this time or who won :cry:
We headed back to the main street, grabbed a couple of beers and a bench for the new parade (never seen by us) Block Street Party. It was good but short (6 mins). The green army men were extremely funny. Asking a girl why her parents had let her walk round the park with pooh on her tee shirt all day - only at disney and thanking a couple of people with white ponchos on for leaving the haunted mansion to come and see the parade.
gig: gig:
After the parade, we decided to leave for a rest and come back later for the 9:30 Fantasmic. Before heading back to the hotel, we decided to check out the villa we have rented for Jan 09 on Highland reserve - it looks really nice.
Got back to the hotel, caught up on some trip reports
and the heavens opened for the first time this holiday. We were unsure whether Fantasmic would go ahead or not, so decided we would catch it another night.
We walked over the car park to Bahama Breeze for tea. DH had the west indian patties and I had the blackened chicken sandwich. DH loves the patties, my sandwich was nice but the fries were well too salty and I left them.
6 Bahamamama cocktails later and we are back in the room. I am doing this report and apologise for any mistakes lol.
Pics to follow in morning
Tomorrow - Lazy morning & Magic Kingdom
