Honeymoon Day 5: Disney's Hollywood Studios Thursday Afternoon

So after riding Toy Story Mania, we figured we were better off staying at Disney's Hollywood Studios through our dinner reservation, it was at 5:45, and by then it was already after 1pm. It just seemed silly to go all the way back for the hotel to only have maybe an hour or so there before having to trek back. (Yes, it is THAT spread out). So we started wondering around a bit, and found: Donald Duck!
After finding Donald, we wondered around a bit, we saw on the map that it showed a "Honey I shrunk the Audience"- we thought, SWEET and indoor and Air Conditioned attraction (can you see how hot it was, I'm shinny!) Anyway, we got there and found this:

It was a play ground of gigantic proportions to literally make you feel, shrunken, meaning it was not in fact the indoor attraction I was hoping for. At this point we decided to head over to Star Tours and the "Star Wars" area so I could show Aaron the ridiculously large "AT AT".
I think Aaron started to get excited when we arrived- even though he tried to hide it!
We decided to do Star Tours- we had time to kill, and it again was a way to get indoors with A/C. Aaron was very excited that the line wrapped under a replica of the E-Wok tree house, though he totally didn't believe that I had a replica tree-house as a child (my cousin's and I loved the E-Woks!)
Anyway, so we're waiting in line, and right behind us they start this awesome Star Wars show (it was a Star Wars weekend). Yep, that's Darth Vader behind me!
Anyway, we finally got inside the building, and really the queue was pretty much like the queue at Disneyland, but still one of Aaron's favorites:
We still didn't make it to Endor though :( I believe after this we did the Great Movie Ride- which was kind of my excuse for a nap. It's like a 20 minute indoor attraction, that while cute, is a little boring, but a nice way to escape the heat! While it was a nice break, as soon as we got outside we got a smack in the face reminding us of why we had gone indoors. We ran over to "Little Mermaid" but didn't want to stand in line and not make the show, so instead we grabbed fast passes for the next show, and headed over to the villains shop to get my mom her towel. While inside we noticed the little bakery also had slushie's- SCORE!
So we finish our slushie, and walk outside, and I kid you not all of the sudden it just starts pouring- not like subtly and slowly, like BAM huge rain drops just rushing to the ground. We once again, step to the side, pull out the poncho's and get ready to enjoy the park. We walked over to a little outside pin shop to help the cast member, the pins were blowing EVERYWHERE. So we helped him pick them up (bought a couple too) and then headed off to the Little Mermaid where everyone was seeking sanctuary- it seriously looked and felt like a hurricane!
The Little Mermaid wasn't quite what I was expecting- it was like a 1/2 way done version of the Aladin show in California Adventure- okay maybe like less then 1/2 way done version. While it provided good cover from the rain- it's not something I would rush to do again.

After the Little Mermaid, we really just walked around until our dinner reservation, and even then we checked in early. We were tired, 9 hours of walking around in the Florida sun had exhausted us and we were really looking forward to our dinner at the Sci-Fi Drive In!

Our experience at the Sci Fi was fabulous! Our server was really top notch. I started with some BLT soup that was so good- I'm still trying to figure out how to make it!

At the beginning of our meal, our server asked Aaron and I if we were both over 21, which I found odd, neither of us had ordered alcohol, well after she brought out our dessert, we found out why, TaDa:
She brought us out 2 glasses of champagne! I felt so bad- I can't drink champagne because of my surgery, but we couldn't tell her that- so I took 2 small sips and Aaron had the rest. We just thought it was so sweet for her to sprinkle some pixie dust on us!

Aaron loved the restaurant, one of his favorites yet. The theme is really unique! Your table is in a "car" and your "parked" in front of a huge movie screen that plays Sci-Fi shorts and 50's commercials the entire time.

Once dinner was over- we were toast. We found a couple to give our fast passes for Toy Story Mania too (we had fast passed it again and gotten like 8:30-9:30pm), and headed for our resort bus. We knew we needed to get some sleep to recover from our hot (and rainy) day, and be rested for rope drop at EPCOT the next morning.
