For fear of leaving out a couple of things, I want to insert them here: We did enjoy a quick walk through of the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground set. We were all too big to play this time, but we liked seeing the giant sized stuff.
I also enjoyed seeing the huge backdrops of San Francisco and New York City.
After we finished our meal in the 50's Cafe, the boys took off to the Lights, Motors, Action Extreme Stunt Show. Us girls were a little behind and got there late. We were afraid we would miss the show or have poor seats. As we were funneled around the stadium, we were brought back to a section in the middle where the cast member opened a roped off area. We got to sit right in the middle in some excellent seats!
We saw some extremely beautiful driving in the car ballet scene. We learned how the cars are able to do backwards stunt driving, how they can jump a ramp and keep driving, and how they can drive on two wheels. We even got to see Herbie!
Next, the motorcycles came out for some cool stunts. One guy skidded into a fire. We were shown his protective gear and how he caught on fire and how quickly this had to be put out, even under five layers of protective clothing! We all enjoyed this show a great deal.
Next we enjoyed the Great Movie Ride, reliving scenes from some classic movies, all housed in a replica of Mann's Chinese Theater. My daughter and I went on to meet Mickey. We had to stand in line for a good while before getting him to sign some Mickey Mouse shoes she had bought!
We met up with the boys and rode the TOT and coaster again. We tried to get in to see the Fantasmic show. We actually could not get a seat at the first show, so we went out and walked around a bit more, grabbed something to eat, then came back to sit outside the gate for the next show.
I got in line early and was able to grab some great seats for this wonderful show, hosted my Sorcerer Mickey! The scenes were wonderful and filled with characters, dancing water, fire and fire works! I adored seeing my teenaged son clapping through the show like a little guy! A great way to end our fun filled day at Hollywood Studios!
I had heard there is a Journey Into Narnia (which will soon be turned into Prince Caspian) exhibit that I wanted to see. We never did see it, but since being home, I heard it is still running. I am sorry to have missed it. We also did not get to see the new Toy Story Mania , which opens in a couple of weeks.
