Hollywood Studios has never been my very favorite of the Walt Disney World parks -- that honor goes to Magic Kingdom, followed closely by Epcot -- but I was looking forward to our visit there even more than usual. That's because it would be our first time at Toy Story Land, with two rides we had never before seen.
Even though we arrived at Hollywood Studios some 30 minutes after opening, the bag check and entry was a breeze and we were soon in Toy Story Land. The new coaster, Slinky Dog Dash, was the best of the new rides. It was full of ups and downs, and not just the hills. Edith and Atticus had been looking forward to it for weeks, then got more and more scared as we got closer to the front of the line. But by the end of the day, they said it was their favorite ride at the park! After seeing Atticus's face (I would describe it as a constant state of eek), I was surprised by the proclamation.
Tower of Terror was not a favorite for them, but they were good sports. We also saw almost all of the shows and did all of the rides, plus Edith met Doc McStuffins and Sophia the First. The only character in all of Disney World that Atticus had any interest whatsoever in meeting was Olaf, so we made sure to say hello to him, too.
Around 6 p.m. we loaded the kids in the stroller with cartons of popcorn and made the 30-minute walk to Epcot. It was pleasantly scenic, along the lake and boardwalk. So after a full and fulfilling day at Hollywood Studios, we ended up eating supper at Epcot's France pavilion, followed by snacks and a couple of rides on Gran Fiesta at Mexico. A lovely end to an already fun day.
