Disney World Part 3: Hollywood Studios

We went to Hollywood Studios on Tuesday and we were all so exhausted. The park had no Magic Hours that day which we were fine with, but then we realized we had breakfast with JoJo and Friends at 8. Dang it the park didn't even open until 9am. So once again we had to get up early and wait for the buses to take us. But when we got there and realized the park was completely empty we were dang excited. After being in crowds all the time emptiness was a welcome relief.

The empty street is the important part about this picture.

Breakfast was great. Lexie got to dance with JoJo and she got to meet Leo and June from Little Einsteins. Ethan (my nephew) was not to thrilled to see them. He would sit as far from them as possible. It was pretty funny to see him in action.


Alot of the food was shaped like Mickey. These were really good Mickey shaped waffles.

Ethan was able to get over his fear of the characters and get a picture with Goliath.


We finished breakfast just as the park was opening and Eric ran off to get Fast Passes to some of the big rides. We thought we could just walk on since the park had just opened but the line for them was 80 min. long already. Oh well. We got to enjoy the rides showing Hollywood Magic. This was my mom's favorite park. We also went to an interactive Ariel show which was awesome. Ethan wouldn't go in he was too scared but I think a lot tired too.

After the ride we went to the Indiana Jones Stunt Show. We had front row seats. Joshua fell asleep during it. Lexie plugged her ears it was too loud, and Ethan screamed. It was an ok show.
Joshua loves to tackle Lexie--this is before the show.


I think Lexie was plugging her ears because Ethan was crying so loud. But she did it during the show too.


Ethan at the show. Poor kid.

Then half of us rode the Tower of Terror (I LOVE this ride) and the other half watched the kids. Eric and I were the watchers. We took them to get snacks (with our card) and then sat on a bench watching some actors on the street, someone didn't like the actors, guess who? The place was packed and we were lucky to get a whole bench to ourselves. When they got off the ride Eric and I got to ride it and then later that day I rode it three more times. All of them fast passes. My dad was at the park by this point and he hates heights and rides but we made him ride it. He was so nervous and whining the whole time about his bad heart and stuff like that. By the time we were at the front of the line he was literally sweating. Rose and I turned around i the ride when it drops down and my dad was clutching the armrests with his eyes clenched closed. It was hilarious.


Can you seel the someone who didn't like the actors?


About to go on Tower of Terror--notice my dad is the only one not smiling.

We had another reserved dinner but this one yet again gave us priority seating to Fantasmic (another show). Usually they say to get their 90min early but with our seating we only had to get there 30 min early. I am glad we only had to wait the 30 min because the show was nothing impressive and I would have been ticked if I had waited the 90 min.


Joshua fell asleep during dinner he was so tired he crashed before I had him in the horizontal position.

We left the park when it closed at 10 and we were all really hungry. We got back to the hotel about 11 and the kids were out. We stayed up to eat and then crashed waiting for yet another early morning.


Lexie fell asleep like this on the bus ride home.

Joshua also fell alseep on the bus ride home and we didn't even bother to change his clothes. He slept all night like this. He was so exhausted that the next morning when we got up and started getting ready he didn't budge and we weren't quiet.
