Disney- Day 3, Hollywood Studios

On our 3rd and last day, we went to Hollywood Studios.  They had some really cool rides for big people, but not tons for Tyler.  BUT, they did have Lightening McQueen (or as Ty calls him- Rocket the Queen) and Mater from Cars- one of his favorite movies.  SO he was very excited to see them.  They were the only characters that he would go up to- I think because they really didn't move.


They had a cool play area from Honey I Shrunk the Kids with slides and thinks to climb.  Everything was over-sized like in the movie- hence the giant Playdough can.  They also had this huge rope maze that went up at least 2 stories that Tyler loved running and climbing through.
It was a little warmer today, so we just had to stop for an Mickey Mouse ice cream.
Jack had his first taste of ice cream.. he liked it, but....
was not too sure about the cold.  I loved watching his face after he would take a bite.
They have the new Toy Story interactive ride. You shoot at the screens as the ride spins you around and try to rack up points.  Tyler and Rich had a blast!
We also went on the backstage tour which was neat.  This was an area that was set up as a tanker truck that caught on fire and then was washed off the road by a flood of water.  Tyler was a little scared as you can see from his clutching Rich, but as soon as it was done he was asking for it to turn on again.  That is what he does with most things- if it scares him, he might grab onto us or hide, but then wants to see it again. 
They also had cool scenes and props set up from different areas of the country- here we are in front of the San Francisco scene.  It looked so real.
And we could not leave without stopping at this huge McDonalds (or "fry store" as Ty calls it) that was next to the hotel.  Tyler loves french fries, so we had to get his picture in front of his favorite "fry store".
