Day 10 Disney Hollywood Studios

Not Seaworld i know but we changed our minds after a lazier breakfast than planned. We ended up getting to Disney at about 11. It was the busiest we had seen any of the parks and the wueues were extreme. We had a nice morning, despite the queues and the weather was nice. We did the great movie ride, the incredible Tower of Terror, my favourite ride in the world, getting thrown about up and down, up and down 13 stories in a lift. Matt loved it! We also had a wander around the props area of the new Star Wars films, which was interesting.

We stopped for lunch, pulled pork with mac and cheese, and since we couldnt get into the 3pm showing of the Indiana Jones stunt show,we headed to the Lights, Motors, Action stunt show to make sure we got seats. We waited for an hour and 5 mins before the show was due to start the thunder storm started and they cancelled the show. Big waste of time. We wandered around aimlessly for a while, trying to get a table in a cafe for a hot drink, just like everyone else, with drenched feet and getting cold with only our thin ponchos to shelter us from the torrential rain. The queues were even bigger and we were miserable. We were all set to leave at 6, when the short queue for Toy Story caught our eyes. The ride is fun, your firing at 3d screens from a 'pie gun'. Matt won this time, but ill always have the men in black ride victory.

We managed to get on the Star Tours ride, and then the fantastic rock and roller coaster, an indoor, in the dark zoom around the streets of hollywood. After that, the rain had eased a bit and it was only 45 minutes until the Fantasmic show. We got a churro and chocolate sauce, and i watched as Matt got a true glimpse of tbe Disney magic. The show was great, Mickey mouse, fireworks, villains, heros, boats lit up carrying beloved disney princesses, and scenes from films projected onto screens of water. Wonderful.

When it finished it was only 15 minutes until the symphony in the stars fireworks. They wrre incredible fireworks to the music from Star Wars. The colours matched good and evil depending on the music. Truely spectacular. By now we were having a great time, despite having very uncomfortable wet feet. We saw omeone with a light up light sabre umbrella, and set off in oersuit of making it ours. We scoured the park and blagged our way into a closed shop just to buy it, ours is a darth vader one, with a red handle. I wont tell you how much it cost!

We had only had a churro for dinner so we got a drive through Taco Bell on the way home. Matt panicked when he ordered so we ended up with 12 tacos and a huge buritto!

The weather is set to improve from tomorrow, which is great as we have had rain every single day since we arrived!
