Hollywood Studios!!

The day after Epcot was another rest day. We hung out at the pool and that night went to The Spirit of Aloha Dinner show at the Polynesian resort. I went last time and had to go back! The food is amazing and the show is so fun! The girls loved it! They got to go on stage and learn the hula! Love it!

The next day we went to Hollywood studios! It happens to be my favorite park out of the four. Probably from my love for film and Hollywood glamour! The Tower of Terror is a must and was first on the list. We got right on and then did it again. Next was the Rockin Roller coaster which is my Dad's favorite ride. It is a super fast coaster in the dark with an awesome Aerosmith theme! No worries if you're not a fan of them, the ride will still have you wanting to go on again and again! The girls got to go on the Great Movie ride which has some awesome scenes from famous films! There favorite was of course the Wizard of Oz. Scarlett kept trying to stand, she couldn't contain herself! Haha! They were both singing, and Scarlett scolded the witch and they both where in awe seeing Dorthy and the gang.

Great Movie Ride

The girls got to meet Buzz and Woody while we were there. When the girls came around the corner they had their eyes closed and the girls got to surprise them! They loved Scarlett's Jesse dress. They were so funny! Can you imagine? They can't even talk but they were so good at interacting and joking with the girls! Love that! (Catching a pattern here? LOL)  They also got to meet Jake from Jake and the Neverland pirates. I think Michelle has a crush. Shhh! LOL



The nicest thing for the kids are all the shows! There is a Muppet 3-D short film which is tons of fun! There are interactive puppets all around the theatre which really bring it to life! There is The Voyage of the Little Mermaid which is basically a short musical. Scarlett wanted to watch it again and again! Beauty and the Beast is also a treat, same deal its a mini musical with all the hit songs. We had really good seats and the girls loved it. There is a Pixar Parade which was super fun. Of course there is the famous Indiana Jones stunt show! Ben was chosen to be an extra. Uh! I'm way jealous! LOL The girls were cheering him on and so excited. In that moment he was a movie star to them (as if he's not already) He said being right there in all the action was something he'll never forget. That was definitely the big moment for Ben on the trip. At the end there is a major explosion with fire, the works. At that point Scarlett got really concerned and when he finally came back she jumped to him and kept pointing asking "Fire! Daddy! You ok?" Honestly she was ready to kick some butt if he wasn't ok! haha!

Star Tours has been updated since I last came and is 10x better! This is a Star Wars themed ride with 3D effects. If you wonder why there are sometimes lots of Disney mixed with SW themed souvenir's etc, its because of this ride and the fact that they have a Star Wars weekend in the spring! Every time you ride there is a different story line (they have up to 50) I sat in the front this time and honestly squealed a couple times (so embarrassing) but it felt very real! We got a storyline with Vador which is what Ben wanted. This one did leave me feeling a little dizzy, but I could do it again!

Then we hit up the Tower again since the lines were so low. Thats when I noticed that the height requirement seemed lower then I thought. Turned out Michelle (being so freaken tall!) was able to ride. She was nervous but determined! She had never really been on a "thrill ride" before. She went on and was obsessed! That and haunted mansion where all she could talk about from that point on.

We went to Pizza Planet early in the day for lunch. Its a pizza place with the classic toy story restaurant theme! The girls loved it. Later in the day we had our reservation at the Sci Fi Dine In Theatre restaurant. This place is always booked, so book early! It has some great food and the environment is so amazing! Its designed to look like you're outside with a huge screen showing 50s sci fi movie clips and cartoons! You sit in a 50s car. Each row of seats has a table! Its so cool! The girls went nutz over this place! I would seriously make this a place we go each time!

That night we closed our day with the Fantasmic show. We got seated early (an hour early! yaaaah it was rough) but worth it because we sat in the 2nd row in the center. The girls loved this show! Its got some great effects! You have to see it, no question! Its amazing!

When we left Ben turned to me and said "Ok this was definitely my favorite too!" Aren't we cute? LOL
