Hollywood Studios

On Sunday we used the last day on our Disney passes to visit Hollywood Studios. Leslie, our tour guide, had a full day planned so we left the RV Park early. Even at that, the parking lot was pretty full and we parked at FILM 32 --


It's a good thing the trams were making lots of trips. We only waited for a couple of minutes.


There's the Sorcerer's Hat.  It's THE landmark of Hollywood Studios --


The entrance to Hollywood Studios with everything built to look like the heyday of Hollywood --


The haunted Hollywood Tower Hotel --


Designed to look long empty with dust and cobwebs throughout the structure --


We passed through the empty lobby to ride the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror -- What a ride!


We spent time in the Animation Studio learning how to draw Dopey --
 
 

We saw the musical, Voyage of the Little Mermaid --


Went on a tour of the backstage lots and saw how many of the special effects were done --


Bill went over to the Brown Derby and returned with slices of this luscious Grapefruit Cake --


This is the set for the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular --


The Streets of America -- How about New York?



Or San Francisco -- Doesn't that hill look real?


We saw another parade -- this one featured many of the Pixar characters -- 
 
 

We went on rides that took us past many of the iconic movie sets --


We had lunch at the 50's Prime Time Cafe -- just look at all that chrome!


What else did we do? Let's see - we saw the Muppets 3D; Walt Disney: One Man's Dream; Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage; and the Star Tours ride. It definitely was a busy day.
