After spending Saturday morning at Animal Kingdom, we headed over to Hollywood Studios to finish off the day. Our first ride was The Great Movie Ride, followed by the Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show. And then, the skies opened up and a torrential rain fell. The next hour or so was spent hiding out under cover, until time was running out for our Fast Passes for Star Tours. We braved the elements to head over to Star Wars land for the ride, which, of course, broke down as we were seated. After switching to a different car and experiencing all that C3PO had to offer, we headed over to the MuppetVision 3D show before a long wait for dinner at Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano.
After dinner, the rains were still coming, which put the evening’s Fantasmic! show in doubt. While waiting for that, we went on The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror… twice. As the rain died down, Fantasmic! went off without a hitch and it was time to call it a day.
Sunday featured a return trip to the park, where we finished off most of the rides, including the Studio Backlot Tour, a showing of Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream, and the final ride of the trip, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith. The kids got to meet Phineas and Ferb and Ralph & Vanellope, while we all enjoyed the end of Star Wars weekend by meeting Darth Vader. As the night drew closer, the kids stayed to enjoy a Toy Story ride while I went back to the hotel to enjoy the pool one last time.
