Hello, hello, hello! Long time since blogged. Ha-ha. Well here it is our 2nd day at WDW. We have been having such a great time. Today we ventured over to the Disney Hollywood Studios. The most fun attraction I’d say we did today was the new Toy Story Midway Mania. WOW, it was TONS of fun, not only for the youngsters, but for us big kids too! J The wait time was 90 minutes but we figured it’s hecka hot outside so might as well take advantage and wait 90 min in a nice air conditioned building. And guess what???? It only took us 30 minutes to get to the ride. I have to say those with kids and wanting to go to DHS, and do the TSMM is a MUST DO!!! It’s a 4-D midway-style game playing adventure. You sit in little cars and aim at targets and accumulate points. That was the most fun we had all day, well now no that’s not true. I think our favorite part was when we went to see the Studio Backlot Tour. We participated as ‘extras’ as crew members of a ship that was being attacked by the enemy. We got completely drenched but it sure did feel good cuz it felt like over 100 degrees out.
They have some new attractions/rides @ DHS, one being the TSM and the other is Journey into Narnia: Prince Caspian. TSM was really good as you read above but JINPC was rather boring. You go into a room, see a 5+ minute preview of the movie and then you go into another room where they have the costume & props displayed in cases from the movie. It was neat to see those things but it’s led to make you believe there was more to it. Kind of disappointing but that’s just our opinion. We’ve seen many shows and rode many rides. Another must see show is the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular. It was really entertaining. It has edge-of-your seat stunts, adventure and comedy and a must see show.
We had lunch at the 50’s Prime Time Café. I had the meatloaf meal. Jake had the chicken sandwich and fries. See the 50PTC is kind of like stepping back in time to the 50’s and being in Mom’s house at dinnertime where you respected mama’s house and of course Mama. No hats, no elbows on the table, hands washed, and Please and Thank You were the most important words in your vocabulary. It was hilarious. Mama (our waitress) caught me putting my elbows on the table and she scolded me. Of course, Mama scolding me was all in fun and part of the ambiance of its environment. Playing at each table black & white TV’s playing b&w TV shows such as Donna Reed, Dick Van Dyke, Dennis the Menace…well you get the idea. Funny thing we noticed is that each show had something to do with eating in “mama’s” kitchen. J Their dessert menu wasn’t your standard menu; it was one of those old view finders that we used to play with as kids. Several dessert selections and you were good to go.

After lunch we did other rides and walked around. We finally made it to the infamous The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Since me and rides don’t go well together I have a prescription for the motion sickness patches so luckily I had that or else I would have tossed up my lunch. Although I was still a little nauseated afterwards but I rested on a bench for awhile. It was 8pm and the park was closing for the day. We hadn’t had dinner yet so we opted to go to Boma @ the Animal Kingdom Lodge. It was buffet style and African food. It was so yummy. I tried things I never would have thought to try as did Jake. See here I am talking about food again. You all probably think that’s all we’ve been doing is eating. Ha-ha. Well here we are back in our room and getting ready to take a dip in the Jacuzzi to end our evening. Much needed Jacuzzi, our dogs (feet) are barking and the best way to cure that is a nice hot bath, err, uhh Jacuzzi.
