Disneyworld; Part 3

On the third day of our Disneyworld vacation we had the opportunity to visit Hollywood Studios. This is an interesting movie themed park. It used to have very little to do. But now; with the addition of attractions like The Hollywood Tower of Terror, Rock’n'Roll Roller Coaster, Lights-Camera-Action, and the American Idol Experience, it is hard to fit all of the activities at this great park into one day.

It’s a good place for kids because there are some Playhouse Disney themed attractions and even a great Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground.

There is a new ride at the park called Toy Story Midway Mania that we waited in line for over an hour to go on, but then it broke down and we were kicked out of the line with no Fast Passes to return at a later time- lame!

It was so awesome to watch my son experience things like Star Tours for the first time. He had a great time at this park.

One thing interesting about Hollywood Studios is that it doesn’t quite have the Magical Atmosphere that the other parks do. It does, however, tend to have an overall 1940′s Hollywood glory days theme which is nice in and of itself.

This park has some amazing restaurants; one of which we got to visit: Primetime Cafe. Primetime is a unique dining experience where you eat in what looks like a 1950′s American Suburban House. They serve classical American home-cooking, and the staff acts as if they are your family. They yell at you if you don’t eat all of your food or if you’re using bad manners. They will not bring you your dessert if you haven’t eaten all of your vegetables, etc…

The highlite of our day, by far, was Zion injuring his head. He was waiting in a line to see Buzz and Woody from Toy Story when he hit his head extremely hard on a wooden cut-out of a Toy Story character. His forehead instantly began bleeding and swelled-up larger than my fist (no joke).

I panicked and ran him to first aide at the front of the park immediately. I was so worried that something was seriously wrong with him due to the size of the swelling on his head. The doctor at the first aide center informed us, however, that swelling on the outside of the head is good because it means that there should be no swelling on the inside of the head. Thank God he was ok and didn’t even need stitches.
