Disney Day 9!

So Hollywood Studio's is on our list for today, we ended up spending nearly the whole day there. Strange for us as we are park hoppers.
We did a few rides then had lunch at the Prime Time Cafe. What a hoot this place is, it is like you have stepped back in time and landed up in your Grandma's kitchen. The servers are in character-treat you just like your Mom would at the table-so you better behave! Food was just good home cookin' sort of stuff. Awesome milkshakes :-) The tv by the table works, watched some old time tv!We naturally hit Tower of Terror..AGAIN! We ride this..alot! K loves this ride..he just gets right into it, makes a big production about holding on and freaking out..I LOVE IT!Visited this attraction for the first time, we found it very interesting-especially since we had done the Keys to the Kingdom tour a few days earlier. Basically it is all about Walt and how he had this dream and made it reality despite all the nay sayers.We did the Backlot Tour as we had skipped it the past couple of years. I won't bother posting pics..kind of like you have to be there to "get" them. We skipped the stunt show..it was HOT (lol) and we didn't feel like waiting for it to start and climbing all those stairs. So we went to my FAVORITE attraction..well one of them...the Muppets! Really..it is all about the 3D glasses for me..lol! The themings is full of cuteness--see the pics below.It took a couple of tries but we finally got into the Great Movie Ride. A little bit of a blast from the past when it comes to the movies. The theater is a cool replica of the one in Hollywood.The guys HAD to do Star Tours. We hit warp speed and did a fly by on the death star. Cool attraction. Makes my stomach turn, but I took one for the team :-)
We did spend some time in this gift shop..tons of StarWars merchandise..light sabers..

This show is great, what a production they put on! We have seen it so many times now but you notice something different each time right, so we keep going back. Plus there is fighting and explosions..guys like it :-)

So no more pics for today, we had supper over at the Sci-Fi drive in..just to dark to pics at the drive in eh :-) Can't say were all that impressed with the selection there, I think they have changed the menu or something. The old movies suck us in though, enjoy that.

And it is starting to dawn on us that the clock is ticking and we have to go home in a few days. We are mortified to see that the weather has been rainy/snowy back home-last time I had checked it WAS MAY!
