Day 2 of our trip to Disney World wasn't as fantastic as Day 1. We decided to go to Hollywood Studios, which we made the most of it, but it was kind of disappointing. There are only a handful of rides, it is mostly shows.
We got there about an hour after the park opened, and headed to Toy Story Mania. A new ride which is all the buzz. And apparently so. The wait was 100 minutes and the Fast Pass was slated for 5:15-6:15. We grabbed one before they were all gone and hit the shows. First up was The Pirates of Caribbean, which was fun since they asked The Mayor to be in charge of the Skeleton Key of the show. He got to stand on a special balcony and when the pirate asked "who holds the Skeleton Key" The Mayor was supposed to say "Aye!". It was cute - he was shy so D had to help hold his hand up with the key.
The hit of the day was meeting Lightning McQueen and Mater. The kids were so excited...The Mayor was actually trying to hug and lie on top of Lightning. They had their pictures taken with Jake (from "Jake and The Neverland Pirates") and Handy Manny.
We went to Lights! Motors! Action! It was a 40 minute live stunt show with cars chasing each other, motorcycles chases, people catching on fire and the real live Lightning McQueen makes an appearance and takes down a bad guy. That show was pretty fantastic!
While D and The Mayor rode Tower of Terror (which FYI - he loved), Love Bug and I went to see the Beauty and The Beast show. It was a 25 minute live reenactment of the movie. It was beautiful and had all the amazing music from the movie.
We ended the day with the Toy Story ride which was tons of fun but so happy we had the Fast Pass. Not worth a 100 minute wait in my opinion - but few things are! We left tired and feverish. The Mayor spiked quite the fever and Love Bug sounded like she had a croupy cough. We really should just pack it in. And that was the plan - we were going to leave today after a quick stop at Magic Kingdom but man, my kids are resilient. They were so excited about coming back to MK. They didn't want to leave. So we stuck it out...but of course...there is more drama...stay tuned.
