We decided to go back to Hollywood Studios so we could ride Toy Story Mania! again. I love this ride! We were at the park when it opened so this time I battled the crowds at the Fast Pass station and got two Fast Passes. Then we got in line and got to ride it without much of a wait. However, when we exited there was already a 45 minute wait!
We went and rode the Rockin' Roller Coaster until it was time to use our Fast Passes for Toy Story Mania!. We made the mistake of getting in the Single Riders Only line at Rockin' Roller Coaster. We soon discovered that it would have taken just as much time to be in the regular line. After the coaster we were able to ride Toy Story Mania! again without a wait using our Fast Passes. By the time we got off this time, the wait was 60 minutes, and by noon it was 100 minutes!
I'm not sure who was Player 1 and who was Player 2, but I do know that I won the first time we played/rode and JP won the second.
We did the Studio Backlot Tour, which we had not done the first day we were there.
We left the park by noon and took the boat over to the Beach Club which is a Deluxe resort. We were going to eat at Beaches and Cream, but once we got there we decided we would rather eat somewhere else. However, it was cool that we got to see the Beach Club's pool which is probably the coolest pools I've ever seen. If I ever go back t o Disney World, ok WHEN I go back, I want to stay there.
We decided to walk over to the Boardwalk to eat at ESPN again. It is here that we learned Chipper Jones tore his ACL and will be out for the season.
We headed back to the hotel. We attempted to swim, but JP thought the pool was "gross" because there were too many "grimy" kids in it. So we rested for a few hours. I'm pretty sure I took a long nap, which is rare for me!
That evening we went off Disney property to find a WalMart so we could replace the breakfast food we had run out of. In the process, we had to run through a Toll because we only had dollars and no change. (Hey, in Dallas I was told that you could run through 3 tolls a month without getting ticketed, so we were hoping it was the same in Orlando). After completing our WalMart trip, we found another Chickfila for dinner. Yum.
On our way back to the hotel, we stopped at Downtown Disney. I really wanted a Disney World cup because I have found that cups are the most practical souvenir you can buy. All the lots close to where we wanted to go were noted as FULL so we were going to have to walk quite a ways. However, JP noticed that Disney's CASTING building was right across from where we wanted to park and they had an almost empty parking lot.
He insisted on parking there despite me saying no. I did check and there were no signs that said we couldn't park there so we did. This saved us tons of walking, and JP was quite proud of finding us a close place to park, although I still wouldn't have parked there if he hadn't been with me!
Downtown Disney has the biggest Disney merchandise store I have ever seen. They have a huge kitchen section and I saw so many things I wanted but I only purchased a cup. I love my Disney cup!
After returning from Downtown Disney, we took the bus back to Hollywood Studios so we could watch the late showing Fantasmic!, Hollywood Studio's fireworks show. Here we are waiting for the bus to come. JP says one day I will look back and laugh hysterically at the glasses I have on. He is likely right.
We decided to see if there were any rides without waits to ride instead of waiting in line to get into the Fantasmic! stadium. So, we walked right on to Tower of Terror. When we were getting off the ride, we found out that Fantasmic! had been canceled for the evening. We were very sad since basically we ended up coming to the park just to ride one ride. Oh well! We still had fun.
