Trip Report Day 3

So today Jenea and I went to Blizzard Beach for morning extra magic hours. The best part about it is that we went with rain out tickets that we got in 2001. You have to love those no expiration tickets. We spent all morning at the water park and then came back to the resort, changed clothes, and went off to the Studios.

The first thing we did was to get fast passes for Rockin Roller Coaster. After that we just walked around Hollywood and Sunset Boulevard going in and out of the shops before we got our spot for Block Party Bash. I must say that this was a very cool parade. After the parade was over, we went over the ride Rockin Roller Coaster. Let me tell you, we have a coaster with a similar launch here in St. Louis, but it is nothing compared to the launch and the ride on Rockin Roller Coaster. After that we went towards Toy Story Mania to see what the fast pass times were for it even though I knew they would be crazy. They didn't have any more fast passes and there was no time on the stand by line because it was too long I think. From here we went looking for some place to eat and ended up at the Sci Fi Dine in Theater. It's the first time any of us had been there and it was pretty neat. We were all craving a burger so that what we got and I was very surprised at how good they were. 

After our early dinner we went right over and saw Muppet Vision 3D. You got to love this attraction, I mean it's the freaking Muppets! After that we went over to the Backlot tour since we knew we wouldn't have to wait and Jenea had never done it before. After that we went back up to the Great Movie ride and met up with my Aunt Lynn and her gang. We rode the Great Movie Ride and of course had a good time since when you get that many of us together it's always a fun time. Then we made our way towards the Fantasmic theater to get our seats early, since we had 11 people and we all wanted to sit together. Fantasmic was awesome, as usual, except when it's over and all those people are crowding to get out. So Jenea and I parted ways with the group so we could go take some night pictures around the Studios before we headed back. We decided as we walked down Hollywood Boulevard that we would stop by Toy Story Mania and see what the wait was. 20 minutes! That's right, and it was right before the park was to close, there were 5 people behind us and they closed the doors. I got some great shots of the interior of the queue. The ride was amazing, great fun, and awesome effects. This was a great day. Stay tuned. Peace.
