** Hollywood Studios ** 12-4-14

Our last day was spent at Hollywood Studios, not counting Friday that we spent at Downtown Disney!!  There wasn't as much to do and see at this park as there was at the other parks….but we made a day of it and the kids found their most favorite ride in this park!!  The Star Tours ride, which is basically a flight simulator made to feel like you are traveling in space…..like Star Wars……we did this ride several times, and right up until the park closed at night and they would literally not let us back in line!!  The kids loved it!!



My tiny warriors!!



We had to take in the Muppets 3D Movie……the Muppets are Joe's favorites!!  It was awesome!!


We also had a lunch reservation at the Sci-Fi Theatre……which was pretty cool.  There are small tables in front of us in these car seats, and there is a screen out front where they showed movies from the 1950's…..basically like you were eating at the Drive-In!!  Cool, except for the tiny tables and the way too dim lighting!!  But cool experience.

We then roamed and found some characters!!

Green Army Man!! (Toy Story)



Lightning McQueen & Tow Mater!!


Phineas & Ferb…..with Perry spying in the back!!

Mr. Incredible!!

Frozone!!

Big Hero 6!!  (new Disney movie that's in theater's…..)

And a couple of my favorites!!

I think Ella's in this picture somewhere too……hahaha



Sulley & Mike Wazowski!!

This is 'Lights, Motors, Action.'  It showed the 'behind the scenes' of how stunts in movies are done!!  And Lightening McQueen made an appearance!!  It was pretty cool!!

This was secretly one of my favorite things we did while at Disney……it was the Frozen Sing-Along!!  It was basically a short summary of the movie, in theatre form……and every time it was a part in the movie where a song was sung, the music was played and every little girl (and her mom!) sang as loud as possible…….it was so much fun!!

There were a few 'streets' in Hollywood Studios that were decked out for Christmas……and this was AMAZING to see!!  We weren't going to stay in this park too late, just because there wasn't much to do, but we sure are glad we did.  Every inch of every building was covered in lights and it was magnificent to see……and every now and then they would set the lights to music!!  I have a video I will attempt to post (in another post)…….and it really doesn't do it justice, but it's still cool!!  If you are in Disney during their Christmas season……put this on your list of things to not miss.  Our friends (who were in Disney at the same time) recommended we stay long enough to see this, and I am glad they did, because we would have missed it otherwise.  Thanks Lesjac's!!  :}



MERRY CHRISTMAS!!


And the final Character!!  Seems perfect!!


Getting a little Love from Mickey!!  Perfect way to end our trip!!

Joe got a little jealous……   ;}

I love the story behind the Osbourne Family light show... The family loved to decorate their home but neighbors felt bad that they could never keep up so the Osbourne's supplied light displays for all their neighbors! They then donated the displays to Disney! It is AMAZING!
