23.02.09 – Disney Hollywood Studios
Today we – that is Felix & Max, Thomas and myself – decided to go to Hollywood Studios.
The rest of the clan enjoyed a peaceful, quiet day. The boys (finally) were eager to join us in the Star Wars ride, a nice simulator experience.
On the way in there are always funny characters performing a little act.
First we went on “The Great Movie Ride”. This ride goes through famous movies, such as gangster movies of the 1930s, Alien, westerns, Tarzan, and many more.
After that we had to get on the “Star Tours Experience”. As serious SciFi fans we love this ride. The boys enjoyed it also and wanted to go right back.
We decided to first visit the 3D Muppet Show and then come back to see how long the wait would be. The way to the theater was filled with funny Muppet Movie announcements.

I think we have seen this show each time we visited Orlando but we still like it – 3D is great.
After a bit of walking around we went to the “Journey into Naranja”. So far we haven’t seen the movie. It seems to be really interesting (in the meantime we bought the DVD).
After that we had to hurry to get to the “Lights, Motors, Action! Stunt Show” in time. There are only two shows during the day and although the stadium is big we were lucky to get some seats way up.
Soon after we sat down the show started.
Loud music, squeeking tires and gasoline – the boys loved it.
The motorcycle that races through fire is always a highlight. They show later how many layers of protective clothing the rider is wearing so he does not burn.
Then we did another round of the "Star Tours Experience”.
We called the rest of the clan to find out what their dinner plans were. They had none so we agreed to meet at “Chillies”.
While you wait for your food there is someone to make nice things out of balloons. Max was really proud of his read motorcycle.
Felix got a sword and should all of us his “I am a mean pirate” face.
This was another super day. We have less than a week and time seems to really accelerate now. First you wait sooooo long until the holidays are there and then – whoosh – they fly by as fast as lightning.
