I was awake at 5:00 today and got up at about 6:30. We had intended to get the boat to Hollywood Studios but I had left my trainers in the car and Dad's hat was also in there so at about 8:00 we got the car back from the valet and drove over to Hollywood Studios.
For some reason they didn't do the usual park opening show today and just went straight to rope drop at 9:00. First of all we made our way over to Toy Story Mania and joined the standby queue, although I got annoyed at the people in front of us who were looking for the rest of their party to join them and holding up the queue so in the end I pushed past them. We didn't have too much of a wait and we both enjoyed the ride as usual.
After Toy Story we wandered around to Muppet Vision 3D, which is still enjoyable even though it is so old, and it is always fun watching the kids trying to grab the things in front of them.
After Muppets we went round and rode The Great Movie Ride where we got the gangster version again. I spent most of the ride looking for 'backstage' bits like cues for the cast members and particularly at the Indiana Jones scene I was looking for any movement but the CM was solid as a rock.
Can anyone spot the mistake in this photo?
From the Great Movie Ride we had a wander around the shops and then at 11:15 went to check in for our 11:30 reservation at Sci-Fi Dine-In. We were seated in a car within about 5 minutes and both ordered the Reuben sandwich with a cherry coke for Dad and a vanilla coke for me.
After eating we went round to wander through One Man's Dream.
We then went into the Animation Gallery where we bought a gold plated and paper replica of a Magic Kingdom opening day ticket book, which we had seen in Art of Disney yesterday. It is part of a limited edition of 2,011 and cost $150, although we got $15 off with our annual passes.
By now it was about 12:35 so we left the park and went to Walgreens where Dad got some Bay Rum smellies and some spray on sunscreen then we made our way back to BWV to relax for the rest of the afternoon.
A couple of experimental photos
And one of my favourites from the trip
At about 6:00 we went out for dinner, which tonight was at Golden Corral where we both started with salad, followed by soup, various bits and pieces of main course then Dad had ice cream and I had a couple of cookies. Once we had finished eating we went back to BWV where we stopped off in the Belle Vue lounge for a Tennessee Honey each (cocktails, not ladies from the South), then it was back upstairs to watch Illuminations from the balcony, then bed at 10:00 with a shopping/rest day planned for tomorrow and another ADR in the evening at a new restaurant for us.
Day 4
