As a response to my last post, I actually did enjoy the Studios this time! Of course, I still wish those ears/hat would be taken away, but you know, I could deal. The longest line we waited in (in almost our whole trip) was for the back lot tour. Like I had said before, it was much, much too short, but I really liked the displays after the ride.
The first time we were there was in the afternoon/evening of our first parks day. I can't remember everything we did (Lights, Motors, Action!, MuppetVision for sure), but the day ended with us waiting forever for a possibly canceled Fantasmic. Finally, after realizing the bf had seen the show (and didn't really like it) before, we left the theatre only to stumble upon a line-less Tower of Terror. Whew! It was so much fun! Ben decided this experience was his favorite all trip. We then went over to Rock'n'Rollercoaster just to see what the line looked like there. Same thing! I believe those were the last things we did that night.
The other day we went was my birthday. I briefly lost my wallet which caused me to panic and a security guard to run over and see if I was alright. Of course, it was still on the bench where we just were. Thank goodness! The whole time I couldn't decide if I was more upset about my credit cards, $75 gift card from Disney for my birthday, my driver's license (mind you, it was my 21st birthday) or the fastpasses for Toy Story Midway Mania. It could have been an absolute travesty.
We continued on to Midway Mania, which I found out meant we did not get to see Mr. Potato Head. He only entertains the regular queue, apparently, which I thought was the most disappointing part of the ride. The rest was much more fun than I had expected! It made Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin look pathetic. The movement of the ride vehicles themselves are actually quite fun as well. The bf (who has some trouble seeing) thought it was WAY better than BLSRS because it gave you much better feedback as far as hitting your targets.
We spent much of this day kind of relaxing, waited what was probably the longest wait in the history of Disney History of Animation in order to draw our own figure(40 minutes!). We drew Scrooge McDuck. Totally fun!
We somehow missed One Man's Dream, which I've never seen yet, but have always wanted to. We rode the Great Movie Ride somewhere in there, along with Star Tours. The second day we were there we spent a lot of time finding all the hidden treasures of the Studios
, including looking at all the sets for Star Wars character meet-and-greets. And the parade was a lot of fun, too!
