MGM Hollywood Studios

MGM Hollywood Studios is where we spent Tuesday. In the morning there was an opportunity for the families to see the radio station and speak about the trip. So we waited our turn and Ellie did a great job talking. I was sure she'd be too shy but she shined! This is Ellie looking at a park map before her turn.




 Also on Tuesday was the Mickey character greeting. This is where the kids got to meet Mickey and get pictures with him. Here is the fam with Mickey.
 Ryan, nurse Ann Marie and Dr. Kim Neumann visiting with us while we waited our turn to be on the radio.
 I caught a picture of Ryan wearing Nate's pirate Mickey ears.
 Daddy and his princess in her Minnie ears.
 All the kids with Mickey.  Nate didn't want to stay in the pic.
 We went on the ride called the back lot tour, or something like that. So these are wierd looking props used in past movies.

                       We saw Mike from Monsters Inc.
                           Miss Piggy's fountain.
                      Lightening McQueen and Tow Mater.
 The monsters were at this part of the Block Party we saw right before a rain storm that stuck around the rest of the afternoon.  This started as a parade, then stopped and it turned into a block party with trampoline stunt people, dancers and green army G.I. Joe guys. Other parts of the parade/Block party had different characters to enjoy. This was a very up beat musical party that was prety fun!! At the end they threw balls at us for the kids.
 We found a building to get in out of the rain and it had many many characters that all changed every half hour.  Here is Handy Manny. One of Nate's faves!
 Ellie got so excited jumping for joy when she saw June and Quincy from Little Einsteins.  She used to watch these guys every morning and weekends. She loved this cartoon. Her pics with Annie and Leo didn't turn out clear.
 Characters from The Incredibles. We haven't seen this movie though.
               
                    The wonderful Snow White!
                                           
                  Mary Poppins and penguins.
                                          
                              Chip and Dale
                                        Mulan.

 We saw a stunt show where this red car races around this set being chased by four black cars.  This is the end where they reveal that the red car is really 3 red cars adapted in different way to drive backwards and split in half the long way with a driver on the outside. 

 On the Back Stage Tour ride we went into a cave and saw this truck sitting up there. Then a fire began and explosions....
 ...then water came rushing down...
 ...and over us.  Thankfully we didn't get wet.
 This is the stunt car jumping.
Hollywood Studios was a place we could have spent two days. There were so many great shows to see here we didn't get to do it all.
