Disney Day 4: Hollywood Studios

On our last day in Disney World, we headed to our fourth park, Disney Hollywood Studios. First, if you're planning to head to Disney World with JUST a toddler and no older kids, skip this one. We had an OK time, but the park is smaller, and Maya was big enough for only about half of the rides, and some of the ones she was big enough for freaked her out anyway. We started off with a Little Mermaid show (which Maya liked, but was a little freaked out by the special effects, for example water misting on her during the "storm"). We then headed to the Playhouse Disney show, which was perfect for Maya. We tried to get tickets to the Toy Story ride, but the earliest fast passes we could get were for 8pm. So we missed that. We crawled around a bit on the "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" playground. We couldn't do the Backlot ride because it was closed for renovation, so we did the Great Movie Ride instead (Maya did NOT care for our tour guide being run off by a mobster NOR by our mobster driver being "done in" at the Indiana Jones temple). She DID like seeing Mary Poppins. We watched the parade, which was alright, but no competitor for the one in Animal Kingdom. Then we had a late lunch at this restaurant that was supposed to be like eating in a 60s sitcom. But our waitress really didn't much get into her part, so it was a little lacking. We ended the day back at Downtown Disney, where we found another "Up and down horse" ride, which was the perfect finish to Maya's trip.
