So Remember that vacation I took to West Palm Beach and Sanibel Island, Florida in late October / early November? That vacation where I dedicated eh, about 15 posts recapping the family time, the beaches, the magnificent sunsets and of course the dinners and drinks?! Yea, you know the one. The Tour De Florida grand finale as you may recall was a weekend in Walt Disney World. Our time at Hollywood Studios escaped the recap, until now that is!
Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park is dedicated to entertainment. It captures the glitz and glamor of old Hollywood through neon, chrome and art deco buildings mixed with modern day architecture. The rides and shows follow a similar theme, based on film and TV productions both old and new. The streets and sections of this park are designed as a movie set capturing the bustling and behind the scenes Hollywood style atmosphere and action. 
Must Ride: Rock 'n' Roller Coaster® Starring Aerosmith.
This high speed coaster is backed by a soundtrack recorded by the rock legends themselves as you weave through the "LA Traffic" to arrive on time to their concert. We rode it twice!
Must Ride: The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™. In this stomach dropping escapade you plunge down the phantom hotel elevator shaft beyond the eerie 5th dimension.
Must Drink: Below Tricia & I savor our last Yuengling drafts in the warm Florida sunshine.
Must Ride: The Great Movie Ride. Take a guided journey through the set of famous movies scenes, where you land right in the middle of all the action.
Why not: Muppet*Vision 3-D. This one proves to be a whacky 15 minute movie among the Muppets Lab.
If there's time: Walt Disney: One Man's Dream. This is a walk through attraction featuring a multimedia gallery that tells the story of the man behind the magic and the mouse. One of a kind memorabilia, photographs and audio interviews are featured. 
Eat at: ABC's Commissary

A standard burger and fries weren't anything remarkable, as to be expected.


Snack on: Mickey's Premium Ice Cream Sandwich!

Must Ride: Toy Story Midway Mania! This was our last official ride at Disney. The 4-D ride features a medely of interactive games with Toy Story characters.
Hollywood Studios offers some other worthwhile attractions such as Voyage of The Little Mermaid (wish we had time!), Star Tours (was closed for construction), Studio Backlot Tour (there was talk of, but we didnt make it), Indiana Jones™ Epic Stunt Spectacular! (been there done that, more than once.) Plus, we had a 6pm flight to catch!
Our time in Disney was a blast and I would recommend it to Adults of all ages.
This belated recap finalllly and officially concludes our vacation in Florida. Where should we travel to next?!

Fast pass is a must in Disney. I remember standing in the long lines when I was younger. I'm so glad they came out with it.
I think you should go on a cruise next!
The Aerosmith rollercoaster and the Twilight Zone are two of my favorite rides! Don't you wish you were in that warm Florida weather now?
I love the Rock n Rollercoaster too! Rode it like 4 times! Also loved the Mickey ice cream on stick. Not sure why it's better than other ice creams on sticks, but, it is.
I like that Mickey Mouse ice cream sandwich. The weather looks amazing!
Every single one of these posts make me want to go on vacation! Brrrrr. . .
