Now on to our last day at the theme parks, boo hiss lol
As you may have guessed it off to the Hollywood Studios....
As usual we got breakfast and headed to the boat to go to the studios, the CMs on the boat were amazing they chatted to us for ages about our trip and suggestions as what to do first when we get there, they were really awesome. There was a young CM driving the boat who was earning his ears, he was doing really well, jen did get a bit nervous when i explained what earning your ears ment lol but he was an awesome captain lol.
Once we got to the studios we did what i think everyone does, or at least should do... go get fast passes to Toy Story Mania, when we got there about 9.45 the fast passes return time was already between 6 and 7 lol, i had never done the ride before, as they were either no fast passes left or it was a 90 minute wait, so i was quite excited we managed to get the passes at all lol. And after everyone saying that this ride was amazing i was hoping it would not disapoint lol.
After the fast passes we headed to the Great Movie ride, which i really enjoy, our driver/host was not that enthusastic though, but we both enjoyed the ride, jen jumped at the part where the alien jumps out lol i found it very funny hehe.
Next off it was the Indiana Jones show... this is probs my favourite show because i love Indiana Jones. The show was packed we nearly did not get a seat, but there was some lovely people from the dream flight foundation that said they would not need all the space so we could sit down. We would see the dream flight teams all round the park during the day. They are trully amazing people, they made sure all the kids had plenty of love and attention, all kids were awesome, and looked like they were having an awesome time. All the people from dream flight, i take my hat off to you you are trully amazing people.
The show was just as good as always, jen did ask about the extra being beaten up... "He is an actor... isnt he????" She sounded a bit nervous lol I did tell her that he was a hidden extra hehe I didnt remember the special effects guy from previous shows but he was super funny he had us both in stitches lol
And we are.... moving on lol to Star Tours. :sohappy::sohappy::sohappy:
Apart from being a big Disney Geek, am i also a sci fi geek to.... (not sure how i managed to get jen to marry me lol)... so i was uber excited about riding the new ride. We waited about 20 mins in the standby queue, not much has changed in the queue more just updated and made it more like a star port. We picked up our glasses and headed into the ride. We got hoth and naboo, it was awesome, and really enjoyed the ride. When we got off we had to run through the shop as we had ADR's at Sci Fi dine in theatre. Was not sure how much jen would enjoy this as she isnt a sci fi geek like me lol.
We got there and were seated within 5 minutes, as our guide took us done the corrider and explained it was a special time corrider, jen burst out laughing, soo much so even our guide was laughing her head off and we actually had to wait until we all calmed down before we entered the seating area. I can not even remember why she burst out laughing lol.
As soon as we sat down jen got sucked in by the movies lol, she was having an awesome time... she really wanted to see the tom and jerry cartoons which much to her excitement we saw hehe. Jen had a burger and i had a sandwich... which proved to be a very proud moment for me, i actually managed for once to finishs all my food (it never happens even at home lol), but even better jen who always finishes her food, didn't lol i was very happy hehe (i know i am sad lol).
After our awesome meal we headed back to the star wars shop to look around, and we got a picture taken and i got my spud a fette, i really wanted the storm trooper one but they did not have any
. Our dog, kizzy loves my wee bleeping R2D2 she just goes nuts when we press the button, so we wanted to get her one of her own. But alas they only had packs that were just disney ones to.... if anyone knows where i can get a bleeping R2D2 please let me know hehe, i dont want my toy broken lol. (did i tell you our dog has a perfect mickey head on her body???)
It was off to the muppets next which was super funny as always, and all the effects seemed to be working to. Jen loved the show, we were going to go to the shop but decided that we would just buy stuff we dont need lol so we ran towards the Backlot Tour. On the way we stopped to take a picture by the umbrella and a lovely lady said did we want a picture of the two of us which we did of course lol.
I miss the old backlot tour, this ride is now just taking up space and i thought i used to love catastrophy canon (cant spell if you have not guessed all ready). But the love has gone, it was ok, and jen quite licked most of it, but it really makes no sense anymore lol, i miss the houses and the working film studio and all that, it is sad it has come to this!
Next we were going to try go on Aerosmith, but when we got there it was a 90minute wait and no fastpasses so we thought we would just come back later. We did get some nice pics from the disney photographer in front of the Tower of Terror though on the way back through. I had been on the tower of terror before but it terrifies me and jen under no uncertain circumstances was going on it lol and i do not balme her hehe.
Our fast passes were about to come into action for Toy Story Mania so we headed in that direction, we were a bit early so we jumped into One mans dream for about ten mins then headed over to Toy Story.
We only waited about ten mins untill we got on, we both loved the themeing around the ride and were getting super excited about it. We Got on and had a blast hehe, jen even beat me on the scores, dont know what i was doing wrong hehe. The ride lived up to our expectations, it was totally awesome lol.
We headed back to aerosmith but it was just a slong a queue so we headed to the little mermaid which i had always missed on prvious trips, not for any reason just didnt do it, but this i would discover was silly of me. The show is amazing, the effects they use really make you feel like your under the sea and the actors were amazing.
By this point we were quite tired so we decided to head back out the park to get the boat and just give up on areosmith lol We did have ADR's for the Brown Derby but we cancelled them because we were so full lol.
When we were queueing for the boat guess who rocked up behind us... Another couple in their Bride and groom mickey hats, they were an awesome couple who were not getting married for seven weeks but had came to get the hats. Lots of people had told me that it was hard to get the groom hat, and to be fair there were a lot of couples with the bride hat and not the groom hat, and even a few CM's said that it was near impposible to get the groom ears and i was very lucky... I just ordered them from the disney florist lol If the lovely couple from our boat ride are out there, you guys are awesome and i hope the wedding goes fantastic to hehe
When we got back to the boardwalk we decided to get pizza for dinner and just chill and watch tv, we got an awesome pizza and some champagne and headed back to the room. Jen was quite tired so headed to bed and i watched the rest of Hocus Pocus which i had not seen in years and i really enjoyed seeing it again.
And now its time for some more pics, and sadly our last full day before we left the world
