Disney Hollywood Studios – Part Deux
So today was spent back at DHS: the morning and early afternoon with the whole family and the late afternoon and evening with just my younger son. The morning was spent walking from location to location trying to find characters for signatures (we did better today than the last time we were at DHS). I’m bummed, though, that the one autograph we did not get was Woody’s (the line to see Woody was always really quite long). The morning was spent on the Great Movie Ride (again), the Disney Animation Studio tour (where we saw the Incredibles), and going to Beauty and the Beast, the Musical (a hit with the whole family).
By the time we had done all that, it was time to head back to the condo for lunch. MaryBeth and I decided that our daughter could use another low key afternoon/evening, so they stayed home, swam, played on the play ground and generally took it easy. My older son also chose to stay home, ostensibly to play the new DS game he bought with his souvenir money. I think, however, that he was also overstimulated and needed the time away from the crowds.
So my younger son and I went back and did all the shows and rides that we did not think was appropriate for our daughter. We rode the Tower of Terror (twice), the Rockin’ Roller Coaster (twice — my fave), and Toy Story Mania (twice). We also went to the Lights, Motor, Action Extreme Stunt Spectacular (a vehicular stunt show), the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, and Fantasmic (the big Finale program at DHS). So all in all, I had an afternoon and evening of quality (I think) alone time with my younger son.
I know I haven’t really mentioned this previously, but our condo is located wonderfully close to all the parks. This evening, we got out of our last ride at 10:05p. We had to walk to the park entrance, take the tram to our parking spot, walk to our car from the tram spot, and drive back to the condo; when all was said and done, we were home by 10:25p. We couldn’t ask for a closer condo (unless we were actually ON Disney property).
I only had my camera with me for the 1st half of the day, so there are only 10 pictures (embedded below or accessible through this link).
