Hollywood Studios

On day two, we went to Hollywood Studios.  We found out from a website that Hollywood Studios now opens by 8:45 and there is no rope drop.  This means once you are through the turn-style, you are in!  There is no longer a wait in front of the Sorcerer's hat for the rope to drop followed by the escorted walk to Toy Story Mania.

The day we were there, they opened the turn styles at 8:40.  We were walking off of Toy Story Mania at 9:00 and we had fast pass to use at 10:40.  They are now enforcing fast pass return times.  Up until recently, you could use a fast pass at anytime after the start of the return time.  This fact wasn't publicized but most people probably figured it out and took advantage of it.  Now, fast pass return times are enforced through out Disney World.

Josiah wanted to wear his 3-D glasses like this.

My mom and Wesley.

 This isn't the best picture.  Josiah did wear his glasses throughout the ride. The first time he managed to get 100 points and somehow he got 500 points the second time.

Everyone but Josiah rode Star Tours.  Chris and I rode Rock 'n' Roller Coaster with Wesley.  Lydia can't wait until she is tall enough.  She and Josiah went to see Playhouse Disney with my parents.  Lydia joined us for the Tower of Terror.

 After lunch, the kids enjoyed playing on the playground.

 Josiah found a water fountain that was just his size.

 After drinking the water, he played it.

 I think his fingers were tired at this point and he had to use both hands.  I had to drag him away from the water fountain.

 He posed on a giant ant.

 While Chris walked around and Josiah napped in the stroller, I rode the Backlot Tour with my parents and Lydia and Wesley.
