Hollywood Studios

This morning, we decided to head over to Hollywood Studios. Although this is not usually one of our favorite parks, we had the BEST time here today!!! First up, was Toy Story Mania! This ride generally has long lines, and is still fairly new. We managed to head straight over and jump in line with only about a 30 minute wait. While Mom and Austin got in line, Dad grabbed some fast passes for us to ride later on.

I have to say, if you don't go thru the regular line at least once on this ride, you really miss out! The entire area is designed to make you feel like a toy in Andy's room. We loved checking out all the over sized toys!
Mr. Potato head!
After toy story - which was A LOT of fun! - We headed into One Man's Dream, which we had never been in. Austin enjoyed seeing all the park icons as models. A model of Peter Pan's Flight.
EPCOT
Magic Kingdom
Playing with the robot arms.
Animal Kingdom
Waiting to go into the movie about Walt Disney's life.
After the movie, we headed out to just wander the park a little. Austin saw the Muppet's 3D show and asked if we could watch it. I love that he's old enough to know what he likes to do now! After we came out of the movie, we saw Lighting and Mater, with no lines! So naturally, we headed over to say hello!
Time for Toy Story Mania again! And, thanks to a little Disney Magic and Pixie Dust, we ended up with an extra fast pass! So Austin actually rode this ride three times today! We all rode together once, then once with Dad and once with Mom. Although I tried to get him to take a picture while on the ride with me, he was too busy concentrating on his shootin'!
Lunch time! Austin was being silly while we waited for Dad.
Next up, more fun! All morning Austin had asked us were we going to see the truck on fire. So, we headed back to the Studio Backlot Tour. He loves when they make the truck catch fire and then dump the water on it.
Wandering the streets of New York, we found a running fire hydrant. Although both Mom and Dad told him he could play in it and cool off, he was a little unsure about getting wet!
And finally, as we decided to head towards the exit, Austin noticed this car prop and had to climb in for a picture!
