Day 4:Hollywood Studios

Hollywood Studios was our Day 4!  We immediately ran to get our fast passes for the Rock'n'Roll coaster and then back to ride the Tower of Terror.  It was fun to see the settings of that time-it was literally a time warp for me as we watched the beginning segment of the Twilight Zone inside the hotel (something I vaguely remember watching as a kid).  I loved the thrill of dropping several floors in the dark and was hoping it would keep going!  After a few rides on that, we headed for the Rock 'n' Roll coaster starring Aerosmith.  I will say....the initial 0 to 60 start took my breath away and finally I regained my stomach and was able to sing along to the Aerosmith song while zooming thru the ride.:) After the adults did all the fun rides, we headed for lunch at Hollywood and Vine. We dined with several of the Disney Jr. characters including Handy Manny, Agent Oso, June from Little Einsteins, and Jake and the Neverland Pirates.  The kids LOVED it!  They were singing and dancing with all the characters and barely sat long enough to eat!  It was worth going for sure.  We also wanted to go see the Beauty and the Beast performace, so we headed there after lunch.  It was great.  Afterwards, we headed to Toy Story Mania, the Muppets Show, Voyage of the Little Mermaid, Disney Jr.Live on Stage, and The Magic of Disney Animation.  I would say the kid's favorite ones were the Little Mermaid and Toy Story Mania for sure, but the others were close behind!  We left from Hollywood Studios to eat dinner at Chef Mickey's at the Contemporary Resort.  This stop was totally worth it, as we used our dining plan points for it and the food was delicious.  It was almost too much to indulge in to be honest and the visits from Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy were so fun for the kids.  They were absolutely beside themselves!  After dinner, we took the Monorail back to the Magic Kingdom and to wrap up our big day.

Since we hadn't had a chance to ride the monorail, we jumped on and rode back to Magic Kingdom to catch our bus back to the hotel. The kids loved the Mickey shaped lights and riding the "train".
