Today we used our "Free" Disney day since I volunteered earlier in the year and made blankets for Project Linus as part of Disney Give a Day Get a Day Promotion. We decided to spend the entire day at Disney's Hollywood Studios. We are so use to having park hopper passes so staying in one park for an entire day was a new experience for us. Not sure if we would do it again except during the busy season where we can collect fast passes all day and there is evening entertainment. But since we travel during the slow season makes having park hoppers necessary in order to go to a non busy park during the day and hop to the park with evening entertainment and more busy park. First up on our day is the Toy Story Midway Mania Dash. To ride this ride you need to be a rope drop to reduce your wait time otherwise you will wait over an hour to 90 minutes and that is during slow times. Herm went ahead to grab fast passes while I pushed Emilia in the stroller to the stroller parking and the standby entrance to be able to ride twice. We went to visit Lightning McQueen and Mater after riding and then went to visit Buzz and Woody. Emilia was so excited to meet Buzz and Woody as you can tell in her face as she came around the corner and it was her turn.
Voyage of the Little Mermaid was up next on our list as we have never seen it. Herm and I took a spin on Rock n Rollar Coaster using Parent Swap passes after watching Mermaid and then we used our Toy Story Fast Passes. Emilia was starting to get cranky so we grabbed a slushie and made our way out to the bus stop. Emilia is sharing the slushie with Julie!
After lunch and a nap we made our way back to Hollywood Studios. I went ahead of Herm and Emilia to grab a fast pass for Rock n Rollar coaster and to ride Tower of Terror since I didn't take a nap with them. After I got of off of Tower of Terror Emilia and Herm were in the park and waiting to meet Mike and Sully from Monsters Inc. We decided to do the Backlot Tour as Herm has never experienced it and I haven't been on it since 1997.
It was an evening extra magic hour so that gave us 3 more hours in the park after park closing. We went to the Playhouse Disney Stage and did a dance party with Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Pluto. Emilia had fun dancing with the characaters. She was a little shy about getting to the front so the characters noticed her but eventually got to dance with Minnie for a few seconds. After this Emilia and I settled down and ate dinner while Herm used fast passes to ride rock n rollar coaster and Tower of Terror. We decided to call it a night after this and head back to the hotel as the park was a lot busier now than it was during the day.
We took Emilia swimming and then spent some quiet time watching tv and eating popcorn in the room.
