Disney World 2009 - Day 3 Hollywood Studios

I was really excited for this day, heading to Hollywood Studios where there was Playhouse Disney, Toy Story 3D ride/game, Lightning McQueen and Mater Characters, and the Big Hat!  What do you think, did I find a hat that would fit my head?
Anyways, back to the vacation,  we got a better feel of how the buses work.  Yeah, that is right staying at a disney resort, you get free transportation to the parks.  Noah loved riding the buses (no seat belts), lots of people to talk too, and there was something different on each bus.

I know I mentioned the huge tree in the airport, but each Disney Park had a huge holiday tree all decorated up, and was beautiful at night (couldn't get a good picture of that).  But the day time photos were just as remarkable.

We showed up a little after the park opened, grabed a map and off to the Toy Story Mania 3D ride.  First pickup a fast pass, OMG what time is the fast pass for, it says please return between 3.45 to 4.45PM.  Wow, show a little late and look what happens.  Once we got our fast pass we decided to see how long the wait was.  It is an hour and half, just getting there and waiting an hour and half for a ride, no thanks.  So we decided to walk the park (or half of it). 

After doing some shopping and getting a good feel for where things were at in the park our scheduled character dining was next.  How they move that many people through a buffet resturaunt with kids waiting for all the characters to visit their table is amazing.  But what is cool is they don't rush you out.  We waited patiently for all the characters to come to our table.  Here is June from Little Einstiens.



After lunch, we went to Playhouse disney, luckily Tiff decided to stay outside, because we had to sit on the floor to watch the "puppet" show.  It was really cool how they achieved the cartoon like puppetiering (sp?). 

We then moved on to the Little Murmaid musical / laser show.  The show was very "cool", that is it had airconditioning, water spritzing, and a very entertaining show. 

Then we went to the far end of the park to meet up with Lighting McQueen and Mater.  Even though it was kind of disappointing that the cars only varoomed, it was cool to get my picture with Noah and McQueen.

After that it was time for the coolest ride at Disney, not that it is fast, or scary, or dareing.  I felt like I was actually apart of Toy Story, and apart of the game.  Wearing 3D glasses, air blown, water spritzing, and spinning cart we sat in all added to the awesome ride.

We then took a walk torward the TOWER OF TERROR, knowing Noah wasn't big enough we didn't go closer.  I think he wanted to go on it.  But we ate supper over on that side of the park, enjoyed the retro sceanery, and then headed over to the Christmas light spectactle.  Which inspires me to decorate more and more each year.  Even though I'll never be able to afford (money and time) to go that crazy.  With that it ended the night for us.  Noah was exhausted spending his first entire day at a park.
