Disney Hollywood Studios: Part 2

We headed back to Disney Hollywood Studios on Friday morning. Of course it was raining in the morning when we arrived at the park. We got in and had to wait on Hollywood Boulevard until the official opening. It was a little soggy.

Hollywood Studios  

We headed down to Toy Story Midway Mania! that we didn't go on yesterday. It was a 25 minute wait by the time we got there. The ride is new for 2008, it is like the Buzz Lightyear ride, but better in most of our opinions. It is 4-D midway style ride.

Toy Story

Mr. Potato Head looks like he is grabbing Gillian's head.

We grabbed Fastpasses for Toy Story for later on, it was for 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm. We did the Voyage of The Little Mermaid musical theatre.
