Saturday morning we were up early to take advantage of the extra Magic hour for Hollywood Studios. When we arrived, the girls and I headed to Rockin’ Roller Coaster with Aerosmith while Susan headed to Toy Story Mania to get our Fastpass tickets. After riding Aerosmith twice and the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror we headed to the Back-lot  Studio Tour. A quick stop at the Muppet Fountain.

It was almost time for our Toy Story Fastpass.

At 10:30 in the morning the line-up is already 60 minutes.

while we were waiting, we were able to get another set of Fastpass tickets for Toy Story. Angela holding our tickets for 4:30 PM (six hours later).

We waited to see Buzz Lightyear and Woody.

Not sure which one is the stinkiest?

When you hand your camera to one of the Disney Cast members you never know what kind of picture you’ll get.

We had a lunch table service meal reservation at the Prime Time Cafe restaurant.

While we were eating it started raining, it was a loud thunderstorm, even though the forecast was only 10% chance of rain. We figured all their efforts were put into Hurricane Irene.

We headed for the Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show. Last time we didn’t get to see it as it was rained out.

They showed us a full size remote control car, they had a kid from the audience think they were controlling it.

Some falling off of roofs.

Some catching on fire.

Afterwards we met Sully from Monsters Inc.

We headed back to Tower of Terror. While the girls rode it again, I went and got Fastpass tickets for Rockin’ Roller Coaster. We rode it twice more before heading to get a seat at Fantasmic.

Fantasmic is a fireworks and water show in the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater.

This was a very good show, we all enjoyed it.

It was a full day at Hollywood Studios. We were there almost 12 hours. Only one full day left at Disney, tomorrow is another busy day with two parks and a water park planned.
