Our third day at Disney World was Hollywood Studios. This park has definitely gotten better over the years. I remember when it was MGM. There was next to nothing there. I do remember there was a Lucille Ball museum then. We had a good time on the Star Wars Rides. We met “BB8” and others. We ended the evening at Oga’s Cantina. Beau got a drink that bubbled. It had dry ice at the bottom.
We had a great time at the Tower of Terror. Tom refused to ride it but everyone else did. We were lucky and got in the first row. It’s different than at California Adventure. There, it is the Guardians of the Galaxy ride. I like this one better. We actually rode it twice, well five of us rode it twice. I love this ride too. We also rode Aerosmith’s Rock and Roller Coaster. I don’t ever remember riding it either, although I thought I had. It is being rebranded as a Muppet’s ride so I had to ride it at least once.
I found popcorn ears there. I love Disney popcorn. I have a personal shopper that picks things up for me at Disney World and I once asked her to send me popcorn. Not with the bucket, just the popcorn. It was still good. Here’s a picture of my ears. Also one of Tom carrying my Mickey popcorn bucket.
We were one of the few left in the park because of our late reservation, and it is always fun to walk through the park with fewer people. We had lunch at Roundup Rodeo BBQ earlier in the day. It’s a great place to eat, rest and get out of the sun. There are announcements over the intercom. When they say Andy’s coming (from the Toy Story Movie) you are supposed to stop and be still. We had told everyone this. They announced it and I look over and Tom is trying to get a drink of soda and he’s moving. I grab his arm and he’s trying to pull away. I hold on for all I’m worth. After it was over, our entire table said they wished they’d recorded that. Everyone, including our waitress was still but not Tom. He was oblivious.
We didn’t get to do everything I like to do there but you really need more time at Hollywood Studios. There are great shows and you can learn to draw the characters.
Definitely take a few days to see and do everything! You won’t be sorry.
