Ashleigh blogging about my last visit to Disney. Although, my title suggests I was only at Hollywood Studios in fact we visited Epcot and Magic Kingdom all in one day! Talk about park hopping! Well last Sunday was the visit and I should highlight it was marked the hottest day of the year too, we arrived at the park around midday to begin our trip. My trip wasn't with the usual, in fact, I was tagging along with my church friends, Brent, Tracey and Brandon. Upon arrival we decided to make our way to Tower of Terror. It didn't seem to have too long of a line and well most of the line is shaded. Believe me by the time we got in line I was sweating like a pig! In case we haven't mentioned it, the Tower of Terror is an actual Disney Channel movie probably from the 90s and about a group of people who died on the night of a big party in the elevator. Needless to say you ride the elevator up....and well I'll leave the rest for a surprise for those who don't know. It's a classic and a must go! We grabbed some fast passes for later at Rockin Rollercoaster and made our way to check out the Indiana Jones show. This show is family friendly and obviously action packed. It's actually really funny and you might have a chance to participate like Tracey did!
Now one of the biggest highlights of the day was our lunch/dinner reservation at 50s Prime Time Restaurant. Now this is a cool place and must to go eat and check out sometime! Definitely make reservations because it gets packed. This restaurant is based on the 1950s including classic furniture in funky colors, old black and white TVs and super friendly waiters/waitresses who talk the lingo. Needless to say the waiter we had made it awesome and enjoyable. In addition they have great "home cooked" meals and they are quite filling! It's not too bad on prices with typical meals between 15-20 bucks. And before leaving Hollywood Studios, we used fast passes over at Rockin Rollercoaster and of course rocked out :)
After this, we decided on going over to Epcot for some drinks (although yes, we had some beers in Hollywood Studios). At Epcot we decided to make our way to Mexico and brave some tequila shots (which were really good) and road the boat around Mexico. Afterwards we continued our walk around stopping in at Germany for beers and snacks, England to enjoy pictures with Pooh and Tigger and some awesome music by the British Revolution band (and yes we danced unlike most people). We headed over to test track and in an effort to save time, we did single riders and had a blast! And of course, I couldn't forget to get Shannon two Star Wars Edition 2 vinylmations (one which she had and one she didn't).
Finally, we headed over to Magic Kingdom where we finished our day. Here we rode some classics like pirates of the Caribbean, the haunted mansion, tea cups, and buzz lightyear. I have to make a special highlight on the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger ride. On this ride, you shot targets with a laser gun to earn points. Needless to say, I unknowingly hit some high point targets because before I knew it I had over 500,000 points! I ended up maxing out at 999,999 points and feeling pretty amazing at winning! We rode the people mover to get a break before heading back home.
As usual, it was a pretty epic day and awesome to do some things I hadn't before. My biggest advice on this trip is to be prepared for the heat and to make a reservation at a cool reservation to check out! You won't be disappointed!
