Last day Disney's Hollywood Studios

We passed by this ad every day.... today we finally get to ride it...
Tower of Terror
entering Hollywood Studios
we got a fast pass for Rockin Roller Coaster, and then went on The tower of Terror....
such great detail.......
bye people.......
then we went again...lol this time taking the left elevator... Dean was happy he finally got to take the time card up to the front! He says "right now I'm working for Disney"
on the ride..... just about to drop.....
us on the ride....
then fast pass'n into Rockin Roller Coaster....
our limo awaits.......
we headed over to get a fast pass for Star Tours, the new ride with over 50 scenarios that you can get.... and then onto another fave... the Backlot tour.... big disappointed faces...... The backlot tour was closed...... sad.....
then right after that letdown... we walked by the Toy story ride, there was a 100 minute wait??? and we couldn't get another fast pass for 30 minutes??? dang..... we did that out of order... I would've thot Star Tours would have the bigger line... what was this mystery ride that everyone was waiting for?? Now we wanted to go more than ever?
over to the great movie adventure....
cruising thru the movies.....
then a thug came and took over our tram from our tour guide..... he had treasure in mind and was using us to get there
Maddie in front of Madison & Com store
Our tour guide saved the day tho' got rid of the the thug, and fended off the Wicked witch for us....
now time for our fast pass.... we passed by Toy Story and as expected the fast passes were sold out :-( now the wait was only 90 minutes tho lol maybe it would keep dropping
Star tours was great, me and Maddie were worried about the virtualness but because we are in a "space ship" it felt like a TV and didn't make us dizzy
Indianna Jones.... this is another great show... Indie comes out, or rather falls out of the ceiling, dangling from a rope, then he has to avoid shooting spears from the ground and finally get across these big statues, the last 2 swung down at a near miss on Indie, he then steals the icon and a giant rock chases him down the hill they yell Cut.... onto the next scene
lots of pyro in these shows!
Indie saves the day
in front of New York....
and San Fran
haha Herbie's drive in
I would like a Coke that size!
checking out toy story again.... 80 minutes....
green soldiers...... I love their feet!
I wanna monkey....
Yay Mickey :-)
another fabulous show.... I was cowering in the beginning, there are 4 black cars chasing a red car, and they are spinning around just missing each other, and the walls, and the props they keep adding to the set.... and they are going fast... forward, backward, over trucks, over ramps.... crazy!!!
they shared a secret, on of the red cars is actually built backward so it looks like you are driving fast backwards, but you're really driving forward, and the suit is even built backwards so it looks like they are facing the other way!

fianle scene, the car chase thru the second story window, down thru a truck and thru a wall of fire!!!
Last attempt for toy story, the wait time was 60 minutes so we jumped in.... as always lots to look at while you are in line
the roof  was board games and monkeys hung everywhere
Mr Potato head entertained us by singing and telling jokes
then we got to ride, it only took 45 minutes too :-) It was a blast!!! it was like a giant arcade game... we lined up in front of big screens and shot at all the targets... Maddie's score was 120 k mine 98 and Deans in the 80's Maddie kicked our butts. It was so much fun tho!!!
in front of the theatre. Dean asked and these signatures are real, we thot they just wrote whatever, there are more famous people here too, not just animals!
Fantasmic..... we lucked out on good seats again.... thousands of people were crowding in,,,,
Mickey!!!


The Sorcerer triumphs again!!
tower of terror at night
leaving the Studios...
we had a coupon for a free Appy at TGI Fridays so we headed there.... I ordered this drink and thot the "cotton candy " was a flavour..... 

then the waiter brings this??? I'm thinking what am I supposed to do with that? it's a glass full of cotton candy?? then he shakes up a shaker..... and pours the rest over the cotton candy, which dissloves it, and habds it to me..... are you kidding me!! this is the coolest drink ever!!!!!!
and... it was Awesome!!!!!!!!!!
back at the hotel we had an hour to swim, so me and Maddie swam, and Dean kept us company by the pool bar, have you ever seen Corona in a can??? kewl... and then we headed back upstairs..... and finished packing..... for tomorrow we fly....... and not with Peter Pan... :-(
