After returning from Narnia, I checked my watch.
There was still some time before the toys were due back.
So I headed into the movies instead.
The Great Movies to be exact.
Of course, before I walked in, I needed pics of some of my favorite footprints.
Or should I say flipper prints
And you can never forget a shot of the lovable droids.
Oh, what a blast it wouldve been to be here to watch C-3PO and R2 make these impressions!
Walking through the lobby (there was no line), I noticed the costumes some more from Narnia as well as some others.
Then, it was on to the movies!
Our guide was a peppy woman who really got into the role.
We headed into Hollywood with her narrating about some of the great movies.
Unfortunately, I was towards the back of the last car.
I noticed throughout the ride, the audio wasnt timed very well from back here.
Definitely make sure to sit closer to the front next time you ride.
Also before we get going, just a side note most of these were clipped from short videos I took of the scenes to show the kids when I got home.
They have never been on this before and I thought some videos may entice them to ride it next time.
Anyway, back to the movies, it was time to Sing in the Rain.
This shot was mostly for DD5 whose last recital included a number where she danced to this song complete with an umbrella.
I made sure to note that wed have to take her here next time so she can see this one for herself.
Soon we were up on the rooftops for a Supercalifragilisticexpealadocious good time!
John Wayne was also waiting to show us the way, pilgrim
This ride I was hijacked by the gangster (as opposed to the cowboy) who was also very much in character.
He made some fun quips as we entered the Nostromo.
All was quiet until we noticed Ripley off to the left with a large gun.
It became quite clear what the fuss was once this guy jumped out from the right
Definitely warn the kids if you take the little ones.
This one can be a bit frightening.
Especially once the little guy rears his ugly head from inside the other ugly head:
From sci-fi to adventure, we became Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Come on everybody, hum along
(dont you just LOVE John Williams).
Snakes why did it have to be snakes?
Hey - yet another reason to wear my shirt today!
Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your point of view), our gangster guide got too greedy.
After spying another of Indys treasures, he lept into action to raid the tomb himself.
He grabbed for the gem
And then went up in a puff a smoke!
When the smoke cleared, he was nothing but bones...
To our surprise (or not), our original guide had returned from getting popcorn and resumed her duties.
Always a fun little bit.
Next up a quick glance at the Sorcerers Apprentice from Fantasia.
Interesting side note rumor has it that this was supposed to be the twister sequence leading up to Oz but was changed for budgetary and licensing reasons.
But whether its via a twister or Fantasmic waves, we next landed in Oz.
Munchkins, rejoice!
Just then smoke filled Munchkinland
It was the Wicked Witch of the West!
Our guide threatened to drop a house on her as well.
Ill get you my pretty and your little dog too!
And with that, she was gone.
The munchkins came out once again to show us the road The Yellow Brick Road that is
And then, around the corner, we found Dorothy and the gang reaching the Emerald City.
Theres no place like home, theres no place like home, theres no place like Disney World
After a short sequence of trailers, it was back to Florida.
Our journey into the movies had ended.
But I still had time for a journey into one mans dreams
Stay tuned
