The Poprik's Go to Disney - Part 4 Hollywood Studios

On Tuesday we headed over to Hollywood Studios to spend a day seeing shows and checking out rides.

The first thing we did was head to Sunset Boulevard to check out the Tower of Terror. Alan hated even being in the line and we ended up making a quick exit after Ashley and David got on their elevator.

We headed over to the Animation Courtyard to see Voyage of the Little Mermaid which the kids really enjoyed. Afterwards we headed of to the walk through exhibits at Magic of Disney Animation while we waited for the Disney Junior show to start. We were able to see several displays of Cars 2 and the new Winnie the Pooh movies coming out this summer.

When the Disney Junior show was over, we headed over to Pixar Place and the Toy Story Mania ride. This ride is incredibly popular and the lines were really long. After going in we could see why! This was definitely a family favorite and we rode it over and over again.  We liked this one so much that we even got the Wii game version as soon as we got home!

After a picnic lunch we headed over to the Streets of America and all of the shows in this area. We really enjoyed everything in this section of the park. The Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show was  really fun and sparked an interest in the Herbie movies! It was really interesting to see how well choreographed the cars and drivers are for these stunts. This also had the kids new favorite Muppet*Vision 3d. It .was a silly movie with lots of fun effects that also spurred a spree of Muppet Show rentals when we got home. The Swedish Chef was definitely a big hit.

After the Muppet movie Alan, Rowan and David headed over to the Honey I Shrunk the Kids play area, while Ashley and I ran over to use our fastpasses at the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. The ride was really fun and ended up being Ashley's favorite of the trip. I just didn't like that it took off so fast that I felt like I left my face back at the beginning.

After using up our fastpasses we decided to have Pizza Planet for dinner!

After riding Toy Story Mania again, we headed back to Hollywood Boulevard and the Great Movie Ride. There are several props displayed along the line and we got to see one of the kids favorites.

By now it was getting late and we decided to head out while the crowds were at Fantasmic! After a quick tram ride to our car, we we headed back to the hotel to get some rest for our next adventure- Typhoon Lagoon.
