Hollywood Studios
Up and showered and
ready for our day at Hollywood Studios, let’s get at them!!
Ok
we parked at Film area, now we need to take a tram to the main entrance. We decided to walk as the tram was full and
it wasn’t far to the main entrance only a couple minute walk!
Here
we go we have a green light for go!!!
This
looks cool on Hollywood Boulevard looking up towards Mickey’s Sorcerer Hat
Now
we are a bit wiser we head straight for the Fastpass kiosks to get some times
for our rides we are planning going on today.
So Disney gives each person 3 free fastpasses which means you don’t need
to wait in the big queues to get on the ride! Ok we are sorted now we have got
the rides we would like to do and now we can plan our day around the times!
Colin
went off to go on the Star Tours Star Wars 3D Virtual Ride and Amy watched the
cars pull up and then the people pretend to make a movie in the street
Then
one of the stars of the show comes over to Amy and says ‘you look adorable I
would like you to be part of the film as part of the game show’. Amy said ‘yes’ surprisingly
So Amy was now taking
part in a game show and the prize was like as Amy put it Charlie and the
Chocolate’s factory golden ticket! A
fastpass for one of the rides and we chose Toy Story as it was supposed to be
very popular and long queues! Go get the
prize Amy!!
Amy
was playing against the cowboy!! Colin
arrived back to meet us as Amy was answering the questions. So Amy got the first question right
thankfully as the question was What is the colour of the yellow brick road in
Wizard of Oz? The cowboy got
disqualified as he didn’t listen to the question! The next question was What is the name of the
Sorcerer in Fantasia film? Oh gosh even
I didn’t know that answer so the cowboy won that point as it was Yen Sid,
Disney spelt backwards, learnt something new today!! The third question was What is the link
between Anna and Elsa the two girls in Frozen?
The cowboy answered Princesses but then said trick question as one girl is
a princess and one is a Queen but Amy had been poised to say sisters which was
correct!! Yippee we have won the golden
ticket to go on Toy Story ride as a Fastpass that will save us an hour of
waiting!!
Well
done Amy especially in front of the big crowd too!!
Amy
got a very special kiss from the lady that had chosen her from the crowd!
Thirsty
work taking part in films ha ha!! It is
starting to heat up and feels more humid today!!
Our
first fastpass is to go and see Disney Junior – Live on stage, Doc McStuffins,
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Sofia the First and Jake and the Neverland Pirates,
looking forward to this show
Ok
now we are not so sure if we want to stay and watch the show as we are all
squashed sitting on the floor, cross legged for us to wait another 20minutes
before the show starts and then the show is on for 24 minutes!!! Cramp in our legs has started already ha
ha!!!
Oh we thought the
show would be real people in outfits but the show is puppets being moved by
people below the stage. Mickey Mouse
Clubhouse on stage! Oooooh Toodles!!!
Sofia The First and snow came falling out of the sky when her spell went wrong!
Doc McStuffins and bubbles came falling out of the sky! They asked everyone to stand up and have a dance but by the time us oldies had stood up the music had stopped and it was time to sit back down again, nice to stretch our legs but think the offer to dance is for the kids only!! Ha ha!!
Jake
and the Neverland Pirates where tissue paper gold doubloons fell out of the sky when we all completed the mission and saved the treasure from Captain Hook
We
all enjoyed the show and loved the interactive parts this was Colin and Amy
pretending to be Tick Tock the crocodile when Captain Hook was on stage!! At the end there were streamers where everyone surprised Minnie Mouse for her birthday, pretty
cool!!
And
then you went outside and could meet the characters!
Jake
from Jake and the Neverland Pirates and then ……
Sofia
the First and then …….
No
Doc McStuffins but Wreck it Ralph! Wreck it Ralph found out that Amy had won a
fastpass to Toy Story and wanted to go with her so he took Amy by the arm and
started walking away with her, it was funny!!
Wreck it Ralph
But then we met ……….
The
Incredibles, Mr Incredible and Frozone.
Mr Incredible was jealous about Amy’s kiss on her cheek and Frozone was
playing high five, too slow with Amy when Mr Incredible was signing her
autograph book. Everyone made Amy feel
really special it was lovely
Next
we headed to use the ‘golden ticket!!’
Woop
woop!!! Winner, ding ding ding!!!
Pick
up the 3D glasses as we are away to play the shoot em up game of Toy Story, we've heard great things about this ride!
Ready to start the
Toy Story ride!! It was so cool the ride
you spun around in your car and shot at moving 3D targets, we all loved the
ride and even better we didn’t need to wait 40 minutes in the queue!
Coca
Cola Cool off zone!
Look
we are heading for New York!
Oh
no it is San Francisco!! Cool movie sets
around us!
We
stopped for lunch at the Backlot Express
Colin
ordered Buffalo Spicy Nuggets for lunch and boy were they spicy hot!! Lucky the restaurant was air conditioned as
Colin was sweating just from the spicy nuggets!!
We
headed to Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular show, WOW!! They set different scenes of the movie and
showed you how they did some of the stunts, fighting scenes, fire and exploding
cars!!
Amazing
to watch and see how it all can be done on the stage, this plane went up in
flames at the end!
Time
to split up again and Colin went to do the Tower of Terror an elevator ride
which catapults you up to the 13th floor and drops you down
freefalling at great speed and then changes direction and takes you up again,
seemingly a different ride each time you go on
Amy and I went to
watch The Little Mermaid show, not much difference between what Colin and us were
doing ha ha!!! The show was a 15 minute
snapshot of the story and film of the Little Mermaid. It was good, Amy and I both enjoyed it and
certainly better than Tower of Terror that is for sure!!!
We are ready for The Little Mermaid! It was a mixture of puppets, characters and a real life Ariel
Our
final fastpass of the day is Rock N Roller Coaster, Aerosmith blasting in your
ears as you are spun around, upside down and going really fast!!! The cars for the ride is a stretched limousine, cool!!
As
you can see Amy wasn’t so sure about that rollercoaster as she doesn’t like the
dark!! Colin and I loved it!!
Yet another loop the
loop Amy has done though!!
Well that is the verdict of the Rock N Roller
Coaster, thumbs up and rock on and also a thumbs down!!
These
guys just pitched up in their van and started performing, bit like clowns
fooling about making people laugh and these guys were squirting water around
too!!
Amy
and I went for a boogie with Goofy, Pluto, Chip and Dale, no mention of
autographs or meet and greet but I am sure they will be hot after the
dancing! It is pretty magical that Disney
parks have and underground network of tunnels that people and characters can go
underground to reach the areas they need to be in rather than have to walk
through the park, clever!
Hi!!!
Dancing
over and then they all scuttle away!
Muppets
3D film show next on our wish list
Ready
for the show! It was cool as it had 3D
film but also there were muppets appearing in front of the screen like the
characters that dress up and also in the boxes ........
the two
grumpy funny guys, can't remember their names!
Guess who we are
going to meet next, how exciting!! The
employee of the month Mike and his bestie Sully!
This
could be our new motto for the big holiday adventure ha ha!!!
Just
hanging out with Sully!
Yeah
here is Mike too!
Hug to Mike and then
a hug too…….
Sully
oh dear where has Amy gone ha ha!!
Pose everybody!!
So that was us done
at the Hollywood Studio’s, we had done everything we wanted to. We
headed to Florida Mall to go find the Build-a-bear shop. So we find the largest shopping mall in Central Florida no problem
but then we park the car at JC Penny’s. We walk into JC Penny's shop, walk
through their shop, look at the directory for the mall and then we realise we could not be any
further away from Build-a-bear, typical!! The mall spans 1.8 million square feet, not far then to walk ha ha!!
We found it though,
yippee and a Florida outfit bought for Yorkie.
Yorkie will be thrilled!!
We headed to the
Outlet Stores next and picked up some bargains from Tommy Hilfiger (my
favourite store), Calvin Klein (Col’s store) and Osh Kosh B’Gosh (Amy’s
store) We headed home and then you’ll
all be glad to know that …………..
Oh yeah Yorkie is
thrilled with her outfit, she has a really big smile on her face hee hee!
Another day over in
our wonderful world of the parks and also our beautiful mansion!
Tomorrow is Typhoon
Lagoon Disney waterpark and then followed by meeting our cruise buddies Bill
and Alison.
