On July 9th we planned to go to Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the day. We decided to sleep in a bit and headed to the park a little later in the morning. We got there around 10:00 and of course had some pictures taken in front of the Sorcerer Mickey hat, you know the one they need to get rid of ;^)

We made our way back to Pixar Place and got fast passes for Toy Story Midway Mania. The time we got was a bit later in the day, 2:15, so we decided to head on over to The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Since Brooklyn couldn’t ride and my mom and sister wouldn’t ride they took a stroll around some of the shops and then headed over to Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage.

My dad, Wyatt and I got in line and Wyatt seemed a bit nervous, of course my dad messing with him didn’t help. This was his first ride on anything that just drops you. We got down into the boiler room and he grabbed my hand and wouldn’t let go. The bellhops got us buckled into our car and away we went. I forgot how cool that rise was and when it left one shaft and moved across to the other shaft but once we got there, we heard the locks engage and I told Wyatt to hold on and SCREAM! Our ride took us up and down, I think, five times. Each time Wyatt’s feet came up and he started shaking them wildly. I’m not sure if it really scared him or he was just having a good time but when we got off he had a big smile on his face. On the way out Wyatt wanted to get something from the gift shop with his own money and he picked out a key pin that had HTH on it. (more…)
