HollyWood Studio's Day 4

On Weds my father was working so my Mother, Kenn and I set off by boat
to Hollywood studios (or MGM as I will always call it)
Our hotel is in close proximity so they transport you only by boat.
Below is our hotel.
If I haven't mentioned its called the Boardwalk, and is based on Coney Island.
It has stores and food shops, people spinning plates
and juggling etc all night long. It was a really neat place
(we are really spoiled during this trip if you couldn't tell)

Brandon waiting for our boat. his legs are JUST a little to short to put them both up

view of MOST of the hotel from the boat.

After we got in, we first went to the new Disney Junior show.

Brandon was REALLY excited,
its a puppet show made up of 4 different cartoons that he watches

Handy Manny

B popping bubbles from the bubble machine that was fixed

Little Einsteins

Brandons FAVORITE show
Jake and the Neverland Pirates

Using his spotting scope

Pretending to be a crocodile to scare captain hook away.
He liked this part so much he was talking about it later.

catching gold doubloons!

Then it was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse celebrating Minnie's Birthday

After that we went to brandons 2nd favorite thing the Pixar section

The line for the new toy story ride was an hour so we jumped in line.
Luckily B was zero trouble waiting and the inside decorations were amazing!

getting our 3D glasses on for the ride

what you do is 2 people in the "cart" are pulling that string to shoot things or "throw" things
on a 3D screen like an old time amusement park.
(Just like his video game at home! thank you Aunt Cathy and Uncle Bryan)

We went on the Great Movie ride which shows all the old movies and I thought once again
Brandon wouldn't be interested in it... loved it. Although kenn held his eyes shut for the
Aliens movie part...
We had lunch reservations at my moms favorite place the Prime Time cafe.
But directly next to it she noticed this...
So just like any good mom she gave up her lunch so we could eat at a buffet
and brandon could meet his favorite characters.

Dancing with Leo and other kids

After lunch we did the Muppet 3D ride (thanks to bugs life he was just OK with it)
Then we raced off to "lights, Motor, Action: extreme stunt show"
which is about cars and motorcycles racing around doing tricks and showing how they do
it in the movies (doing jumps, fire, fast pace racing)
as you can see... Brandon LOVED IT!

He had the BEST time during that show. Yelling at the cars etc!

Next my mom took brandon to see the Little mermaid show and the Pixar Parade
(I was sad to miss that)
Kenn and I ran over to the Areosmith roller-coaster (which we had never done)
and MY Favorite ride the Tower of Terror.
We learned that if you ride the single riders line you cut down the wait by 3/4.
Its deff a tip we will use in the future.

We came back to find GrandMom and B checking out the map
B liked to point out all the smoking sections so we wouldn't go there.

It started to rain on our way home, we went back to the hotel to change and hang out
then went to downtown disney for dinner.
I tried to get reservations for T-Rex before we left and it was booked all week.
Everyone said we had to go though... So I thought we could take a shot and
see how long th wait was. We were successful!
Basically this place is the sister of RainForest Cafe...
Every 20 Mins they have a Metor Shower, and the place is broken up intwo 4 different areas.
Ocean, Iceage, Jungle, Desert

Sorry pics aren't that great, its really dark in there.
Ocean ceiling that looked like a squid.
Everyonce and a while the animatronic animals would move.
B said "oh the squids eye moved"
So i said "oh i didn't see it"
Brandon - "Be PATIENT mommy!"
So the rest of the night he kept telling me that so i'd see it.
Clearly he must hear that a lot during this trip.

The food was REALLY good... B got a seizure inducing light up cup.
and kenn got me a cottoncandy martini that was awesome.
Here is a picture of us on the way out dinner where we first put the poncho on Brandon.
we did some shopping...
Brandon bought just about every pirate toy they had (a second time)

By the time we were off the bus he was OUT.
Now when i say out, i mean OUT.
He has NEVER been this out in his ENTIRE life!
We undressed him and put him to bed without him waking up ONCE.
