Today was my day to finish off all that I had not yet done in Hollywood Studios. This was my final park to complete.
I had arranged with Stacey, Rory, and Mallorie to get the 11.50 bus with them. I was ready and waiting in the apartment when I suddenly realised the bus left in three minutes. Stacey was still getting ready- but I ran down to the bus. I got on and got a seat next to Mallorie, and Stacey was walking around the corner just as the bus pulled out.
Her and Rory ended up getting the next bus and meeting us a little later on.
The first stop for Mallorie and I was the Indiana Jones Stunt Show. This show as fab. You get to see them perform all these tricks. It made me think of cousin Nick who was friends with Indiana at Tokyo Disney. There was one point of the show when I was thinking, I think that volunteer who they chose from the audience is actually part of the show- I was right! I would be such a fantastic detective.

Next stop was the Lights, Motor, Action car stunt show. Mallorie and I met up with Stacey and Rory on the way to this.The show was exactly the same as the one Sam and I had seen at Disneyland Paris in 2012. And I mean exactly the same. Even the scenery at this one had french shop names etc! It was pretty great to see this again. The stunts they do with the cars are quite amazing. I especially love when the cars drive on one side.
It was then off to The Great Movie Ride. On this ride you sit in an open topped tram thing and go through a series of sets from great movies. My favourite sets are The Wizard of Oz, and Mary Popppins.
THe main point of us going on this ride was because our friend Cary Joe just recently got moved here as his work location. We wanted to see him being the show guide. So we got ushered down this side line and had to wait until our 'show request' was ready. He was very good at his job- much more suited than his previous role as a lifeguard I think.

Stacey headed off to Epcot for the evening, and the other three of us went to see the Beauty and the Beast musical. So brilliant, I am pleased I got to see it again.
We then went and lined up single rider for Rockn Roller-coaster. This line was crazy long and took quite some time more than anticipated.
We were then ready for some lunch. We went to the ABC food place. They had some awesome cabinets holding props from TV shows. I particularly like the Revenge cabinet, and the cabinet which held Sue's DisneyWorld planning folder from the recent The Middle episode filmed here.
We wanted to do some drawing at Animation Academy. Our only criteria was that it wasn't Olaf as Mallorie had drawn him the last three times she has been. As we walk up the lady says, 'Just so you are aware in the next class you will be drawing Olaf'. We were turned around and out of there before you knew it. Instead we went and lined up for Toy Story Mania. The line was showing 65 minutes, but we were on after 30.
On the way to our next ride we wandered past a street packed full of characters to meet. It was fantastic. They had Stitch, Max, Chip n Dale, Mary Poppins, Geppetto, Aladdin and Jasmine, the Queen of Hearts,and Pinnochio.
Muppets was the last attraction I needed to visit before completing Hollywood Studios. We went and wacthed the Muppets show and BOOM- I was done!
All 4 parks completed, (apart from The Lion King show which started up after I finished Animal Kingdom last week- but don't you worry, I will be going to see it).

We made out way back to Animation Academy and drew Sherif Woody from Toy Story. I had already drawn him- but was quite happy to do it once more!
I had one gift to pick up before leaving Hollywood Studios. I got to the one shop in the park which sells it- and it had closed. WHAT? So... I will return tomorrow to pick up that undisclosed gift.
It was then home sweet home. Good Job Hollywood Studios, we had fun.
