Today we went to Hollywood Studios. It was 92 degrees with a dew point of 64. Very hot and humid.
We went and watched the Voyage of the Little Mermaid, which was really neat. They had puppets, actors, movie clips, and special effects.
After the show, Laney wanted to meet Winnie the Pooh. Jilian wasn't interested in him, but Laney was thrilled.

Pete went to get Fastpasses for Toy Story Mania, but they weren't giving out any more that day. We were pretty bummed that we were going to miss it, but we also didn't want to wait in line for 65 minutes. Oh well - there was plenty to see!
We took the Backlot Tour and saw how many special effects are done. We also got to see movie props from Herbie, Pirates of the Carribean, etc.

One of the best rides, was Star Tours. It was a 3D Star Wars destination ride that took you through a thrilling adventure in outer space!
We went back to our lockers, got our lunch, and enjoyed lunch near a pond with some ducks (that Laney talked to).
Mom waited for us while Pete, Laney, Jilian, and I went on the Tower of Terror. It was a blast! A 13 story drop, and up again, and drop again......Laney was a little freaked out because of the dark and the Twilight Zone theme, but she loved it.

We had to wait 45 minutes for our Fastpass to work for the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster (featuring Aerosmith). So, we sat at a table and had lemonade (Pete had beer) and ice cream. Pete, Jilian, and I went on that rollar coaster (Laney was too short). It was the best ride yet! WhooHoo!

We ran (literally) to the shuttle and went back to the resort. We ate supper and enjoyed a few beverages by the pool until it was time for bed. (I also did 2 hours of homework - yuck).
