Disney Hollywood Studios (Formerly MGM)


The third Disney park that we visited was Disney Hollywood Studios. I remember it as MGM Studios, but there must have been a falling away with MGM. Lots of fun things to do at this park. We took a 30 minute class with one of the Disney cartoonists and she showed us how to draw Tigger. That was fun for the kids. There is a backlot tour where they show how they do special effects and we looked at a lot of movie props. We also went to a stunt show that did chase scenes with cars, motorcycles, and a jet ski.

There were a few rides that were fun too. This park is where Tower of Terror is located. Ashley and Megan would even consider going on that ride, even when we called it the Tower of Fun. Kaitlyn went on it twice, and Britney somehow snuck onto the ride once, and she did it without crying. Ashley and Megan did go on the Rock n Roller coaster which is fast with loops, but the little girls were too short. Britney still wanted to go on it though and said, "I will be tall Dad." We thought that was pretty funny. There was also a ride we had never been on before. It was the Midway games with all of the Toy Story characters. You were 3D glasses on the ride and shoot cans and target in a video game style play. It was fun and is actually the most popular ride in all of Disney World.

We saw a few characters in the park including Mike Wyzowski of Monsters Inc. We left the park before dinner because we had reservations at Medieval Times. The girls enjoyed that and Britney and Ashley caught roses from our knight.

I still can't believe Kaitlyn and Britney went on the Tower of Terror, shown in the background.

Waiting for everyone else to ride the Rock n Roller Coaster, some of us are too short.
