The Tower of Terror was the first place we went this morning...again, learning from our great experience with the big rides early in the morning...we all loved it so much that we did it twice in a row!
Next door was the Rockin' Roller Coaster with Aerosmith...are they still making the big bucks, or what?? Guitar Hero, Disney...those guys are definitely set! Again, we loved it! The one and only ride that took us in the dark AND upside down all at the same time! We got off of this ride, and went immediately to the fast pass line to get a seat again in the afternoon.
Maya got soaked on the Backlot Tour...they said the water was going to come in on the left side of the tram, Maya! oh well...she walked funny for about 1/2 an hour until her skivvies dried up! :)
There was definitely too much to see at this park in 1 day...so we decided to leave some of the attraction for another day.
In the Walt Disney attraction, we learned that Walt actually died in 1966 before his Disney World park had even been built in Orlando...his brother, Roy headed the whole thing up based on Walt's vision and drawings in 1971.
Something we realized the hard way was that we should've done a lot more planning before we even left Lincoln...and we went to the wrong park on the wrong day with the wrong dinner reservations...("Oh...we had you down for reservations here LAST NIGHT!"...OOPS!)
And then, just try to call the reservations line and have them laugh at you for trying to have dinner for 9 people TONIGHT (when most people call 180 days in advance for them! :)
We ended up at an Irish Pub for the most incredible meal of the week and LIVE Irish music and a dancer to boot!
Why do people throw spilled salt over their left shoulders again? I did it and couldn't explain to anyone why....heehee
So, we went back to Hollywood Studios on Sunday and did the rest of the things we had missed...still didn't get into the Toy Story Mania 3D ride that we had seen so much about...a regular 90 minute wait every time we walked by..
Got a good dose of the princesses at the live shows of Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast...Katie and Maya were singing and humming all the tunes the rest of the day...I remember Uncle Drew saying, "It would be OK with me if you stopped that." :)
Family, family, family...i think we've all noticed that it's getting close to time to go home...all this togetherness is starting to get on our nerves :)
Oh..and we can't forget that Katie keeps walking into low poles...watch out! She says she was tired, but apparently there's a history there....and we had to explain to her that razzing her about it for the rest of her life is our job...we can't help it!
Ate dinner at Wolfgang Puck's Cafe - pretty good, the ambiance was cool...don't know if the food would pass muster for Chef Gordon Ramsay, though...seemed like fried onions on everything that came out of the kitchen! haha
Closed the day on shopping at the World of Disney store for last minute souveniers, trinkets, and sweatshirts getting ready to head home.
Oh yeah...I almost forgot...we weren't able to download pictures from the last couple of days because someone made the mistake of putting the wrong cable in the wrong hole on our camera...after buying a couple more memory cards to TAKE more pictures, we'll have to get home and see if the camera can be fixed.
