Summer Vacation Part 5: Hollywood Studios

This is the last post about Disney World, and pretty soon I'll be writing about what I'm actually doing for weight loss instead of what I'm doing for fun.

Hollywood Studios

The Rides/Attractions:

American Idol Experience- A singing competition with people competing to get a ticket to the front of the lines at a real American Idol Audition.

Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular- Stunt actors from the movies along with crowd volunteers do stunt scenes from the movies.

The Great Movie Ride- A slow moving ride which shows you scenes from movies throughout the years.

Can't tell this one came out of a scrapbook, right?

Muppet Vision 3D- The Muppets have a little fiasco with 3D effects.

On our honeymoon outside the Muppets.

The Restaurants:

50's Prime Time Cafe- It is American food served up in a restaurant that oddly doesn't look that different in style from my house when I bought it...

Can't tell it is the 50's or anything...

I always get Aunt Liz's Golden Fried Chicken (and peel the breading/skin off).

Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano- Another Italian restaurant! I have been there several times and know what to eat without talking to the chef. I get the Mixed Greens Salad which has dried cherry vinaigrette, candied walnuts, fresh pear, and imported gorgonzola cheese. They also serve fresh bread with olive oil to dip it in. I forgot to take a picture of this meal, but it was good.

This is from our honeymoon again. Also, we are eating a dessert that is no longer on the menu.

The Recommendations:

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Featuring Aersomith- I used to go on this all the time, but old age has me fearing it a little more than usual this time (along with my neck hurt severely from Expedition Everest the day before). It goes from 0-60 in no time and is an indoor roller coaster that is in the dark featuring the music of Aerosmith.

Another honeymoon picture, but this time we are outside the rock 'n' roller coaster.

Star Tours- A simulated ride (they bump you around and turn you around) while watching a Star Wars inspired movie. It has been redone, but once again the neck pain kept me from riding it this time.

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror- The ride is an elevator in which you sit down and basically get thrown up and down in random patterns. They start you at the top and you can see out the ride to the park to see just how high you are before you do the major drop. It is fun, but I'm not a fan of heights. Once again, I didn't go on it due to my neck hurting.

Oh yeah, there are also attractions where you can walk through and see costumes, props, etc. from movies, so you'll want to do that too.
