On our second day we headed to Hollywood Studios. We were so excited to see Toy Story Land, but the new ride at Galaxy's Edge opening a month before our trip had our touring plans kind of screwed up. Plus it was slated to be the coldest day of our trip. We had fast passes for Alien Swirling Saucers, Frozen Sing Along, and Star Tours. We thought we'd try to rope drop Slinky Dog Dash or Toy Story Mania but with the 7:00am park opening and frigid temps we decided we would just go around 9:00 and hope for the best.
It was so cold, and so crowded. So many people. We were underprepared for both!
We arrived and headed straight for Toy Story Land and all the lines were way long. We saw Woody and Bo Peep and AveryAnn was insistent we meet Bo. So we got in line. I was so cold and we were all nearly in tears.
But we finally got to meet them and it was magical! AveryAnn was so excited!
After we met Woody and Bo we tried to find some sunshine to stand in. We ended up going to the Little Mermaid show. It was so neat and the girls loved it! After the show it was time for our fast pass for Alien Swirling Saucers.
AveryAnn hated it! HA! My kids are not thrill seekers!
After that we had lunch at 50's Prime Time Cafe. It was so much fun, we enjoyed this meal a lot. It's not a great use of a table service dining credit because it's not that expensive but we had a great time.
We missed our Star Tours fast pass because I didn't plan that out very well. But we used our Frozen Sing Along, AveryAnn slept through the whole thing.
After we swiped in for Frozen I was able to get two fast passes for Tower of Terror and two for Rockin' Roller Coaster and decided we could use rider swap so all the adults that wanted to ride would be able to.
We headed to Tower of Terror next! John and I rode first!
He had his GoPro camera and got some great video of the whole trip! I loved these two screen shots he sent me. When he and I got off I rode it again with Jeremy! It was so much fun both times.
After Tower of Terror we decided to stand in line for Toy Story Mania. It was posted a 45 minute wait. We waited every bit of that or more and it was as miserable as it sounds with 6 kids 7 and under! But we waited and the kids loved the ride! It was worth it!
I did grab some snacks from Woody's Lunch Box to pass time in line! AveryAnn was a fan!
We grabbed a quick picture at the entrance to Toy Story Land and then headed to use our Rockin' Roller Coaster fast pass.
AveryAnn wanted her picture made with the cars out front at Lightening McQueen's racing academy. (We didn't go in this one but I wish we had)
After Rockin' Roller Coaster we decided to walk through Galaxy's Edge just to see what it was about (we're not Star Wars fans but still wanted to see). I got the blue milk and the green milk to try it out. They were both ok. Then we walked through Toy Story Land one more time to see it lit up after dark and it was amazing!
Then we decided to call it a night because it was freezing!!! We had dinner at the resort again this night!
I wanted to love Hollywood Studios this time but I still didn't. Toy Story Land was amazing and Tower of Terror and Rockin' Roller Coaster will always be favorites but there just isn't a ton of rides for the kids. I think 3 rides with no height restrictions. But we will probably always go because the things it does have a great!
