Disney Day 4 - Hollywood Studios

Here we are:


While we really enjoyed Hollywood Studios, it was insanely busy - like, wall-to-wall packed with people. We couldn't quite figure out why it was worse than the other parks, so we just attributed it to it being in general, smaller, I guess.

We got there just as they were roping off an area for a performance:



Then we had lunch at a drive-in like theatre (old school!)



After lunch, Leah and I auditioned for American Idol (no golden ticket for me:)


The troops thinking about going on a back-stage type tour:


The coolest stunt show:



Monsters Inc.:



Some street set:




Another street party/parade:


The animated PIXAR lamp:


The kids sat in on an interactive Disney Playhouse production (that I have video from) - it was really neat, and had parts of Handy Manny, Mickey and The little Einsteins in it.

It was a good day, but wrapped up early and we were back at the room tucked in bed at a reasonable time that night. Paul cabbed it to Walmart to pick up additional DVDs for the camcorder, then enjoyed the animals from the balcony late over night:
(it was probably the warmest night - and apparently there was even a tornado warning at one point.)



Up next - MAGIC KINGDOM!!
