The Great Disney Blog Post 2: Hollywood Studios

We were up early for our first day in the parks! We didn't really know what to expect, but since I'd been planning (like a crazy person) we knew we needed to be there before park opening to get in line. We conquered the mad rush to Toy Story Mania and got fastpasses and rode once in stand-by with practically no wait. Cooper loved it (rode with Mommy the first time.)

After that awesome ride (Cooper's first Disney ride!) we headed over to meet Buzz and Woody. Cooper was really excited (Buzz is his favorite) but when we got up there he refused to look at them and wouldn't cooperate at all. He managed to smile with me holding him, but afterwards it was ALL he talked about!

After that, we headed over to Toy Story Mania to use our fastpasses. We then had time to ride the Great Movie Ride before grabbing lunch. Cooper was super unsure at first and his fears were realized when the cowboys came out and stated having a real (not) live shootout over our ride car. When the bank went up in flames, he lost it. He cried for most of the rest of the ride, with short breaks for certain non-scary scenes. He still talks about the scary ride. After that, we ate some lunch and Ryan and I went to ride Tower of Terror! We stopped in for the Indiana Jones stunt show (Cooper napped through it) and then Ryan, Emily and I headed to the Rock-N-Rollercoaster to use the last of our fastpasses for the day.

Can you spot us?

We met up with Grammy, Grampy and Cooper while they watched the parade and then Grammy, Cooper and I went to the Disney Jr. Live on Stage show while the others did Star Tours. We all saw Muppets 3D (so cute) after that and went to the Studio Catering Co. for dinner. After a quick meal we headed out to the Streets of America to watch the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights. The lights were beautiful and we got some great pictures! After we had our fill of lights we crossed the park to get into the Fantasmic theater! The show was so cool! It was our first glimpse of Mickey, and Cooper was just in awe the whole show! The park closed after the show and we went back to the resort to get ready for our day at Epcot!
