Monday, January 28th

Today is our last day at the parks (boo hoo) & we're spending the day at Hollywood Studios (aka MGM Studios -- they're still in the process of changing it). We were going to try to do a park hopper to get over to Animal Kingdom this morning (Magical Morning Hours), but due to several factors, two parks didn't work out for us. Annette & Ray however, were able to go mid-day, so you'll have to ask them about it... (*Next time, a day devoted to Animal Kingdom.)
.
There's Mickey greeting us upon our arrival! (He's such a swell mouse.) After eventually meeting up with the others we headed over to Rock 'n' Roller Coaster & the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Next we made our way past the blockcade to Muppet Vision 3D -- Keith & I love the Muppets, so this was a must see for us. ... We also enjoyed ourselves at Star Tours (sorry Reagan didn't enjoy it so much -- but you were brave & handled it well!). We were going to go to the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant for a late lunch, but found you were best off with a reservation... and to seat 8, it would be quite a wait... So we made our way to the ABC Commissary. (Keith & I came to the conclusion we can't pick a good line, next time we're sticking behind a couple from our group.) Eventually we made our way to the Studio Backlot Tour -- got a little wet, but the pictures are worth it! At this point Keith & I broke off from the group & went back to the Muppet Store so I could get a souvenir or two (Keith already bought his after the show.) & then met back up with the others for our last rides of the day. (Rock 'n' Roller Coaster & Tower of Terror if you're curious.)



My absolute favorite! We rode it just a few times... 4 to be exact! :) We got to take each path to the elevators, through both libraries, but never saw a hidden Mickey. (After the fact we found out it is on a book somewhere... next time!)

Keith's favorite! We rode it thrice. Thanks to you, kind stranger with free fasspasses! (We got to ride two times in a row!!! That made up for the slow goings at the beginning of the day.)

Too bad for Fred he lost his sunglasses on it!
