Hollywood Studios ...

Yesterday (Thursday) we went to Hollywood Studios. We decided to take it easy in the morning, so we didn't get there until noonish. It was a really nice day, although at Hollywood Studios, most of the attractions are not out of the sun, so I didn't get to work on my tan (or lack there of)

Arriving at Hollywood Studios

The first attraction we went to was Indiana Jones. This is the one show I remember seeing when I was last at Hollywood Studios (formerly known as MGM) when I was 11. People in the audience were asked to volunteer as extras. Of course I jumped up right away. Who doesn't want to meet the hunky man playing Indiana Jones? lol. Luckily I was picked - along with 8 others - to go on stage, dressed in a very unflattering costume :).

The entire FLA4 loved the American Idol experience. We went at 2 to see the show and then again at 7 to see the Finale. It was a lot of fun with cheering, booing and some excited singers.



Near the end of the day (8:10) we got in line for the Toy Story ride. As there aren't a lot of rides at Hollywood studios, we were very excited! The estimated wait time was 70 minutes, but we all agreed it would be worth it. (Note: Prior to this, the longest we had to stand in line for at any of the parks was 35 minutes and this too was rare.) The actual wait time was 55 minutes and we all quickly boarded the cars for a 4-D laser challenge. As we rounded the first bend, the carts stopped. Over the loud speaker we heard an announcement indicating that the ride had experienced technical difficulties and that it would be up and running soon. After 10 minutes of waiting we learned that it had broken down and we would all have to get off. Sadness came over the FLA4. We decided to get a few photos taken and then headed back to the hotel.
