Day 57 - Orlando

Our last day at Disney!! 😥 Up early for breakfast and called an Uber to take us to Doubletree to pick up our hire car. On the road and this time off to Hollywood Studios!
 
Headed straight down Sunset Boulevard and to the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. It was set in a haunted hotel and we were inside an elevator. It was really good as none of us knew what to expect but all of a sudden the elevator shot up into the air and then fell back down. Very cool.

Next we went to the Aerosmith Rocknroller coaster where Aerosmith was playing loudly as we raced around the track to get to their concert.
  
We saw the Storm Troopers parade down Main Street and learnt the history of Walt Disney.

 
We headed to Pixar Place to do the Toy Story Mania ride. This one was fun. You ride in a cart with 3D glasses and have to shoot things as you go through the ride! Even more fun because I won!

We watched the Beauty and the Beast show, the Little Mermaid, Indiana Jones and the Frozen sing along. They were all really good (apart from getting wet in The Little Mermaid), but the Indiana and Frozen shows were fantastic!!  The Indiana Jones show was a live stunt spectacular that re-enacted some of the scenes and showed you how they were made, complete with fight scenes, gun shots and explosions. It was awesome!

 

  



The Frozen sing along was narrated by 2 people who really made the show. They were so funny and really entertaining! The kids were mortified  that I was singing along at the top of my lungs. 'Let it go!!!' 😂😂😂
 
We did the Star Wars launch ride which was similar to the one at Disneyland. We did the toy story and twilight zone rides again and then called it a day.

Headed back to the hotel and went straight to the pool for a swim and to relax for a bit. Went to a new place for dinner called Cici's which was all you can eat pizza, pasta, salad, soup and dessert. It was really nice, especially the apple crumble and white chocolate dessert pizza. Back to the hotel and spent hours again trying to sort out the next couple of weeks. Hurricane Irma is scheduled to hit Miami on Saturday when our cruise was supposed to leave and they are evacuating everyone from there.  We decided it wasn't a great idea to head to Miami so we cancelled our car and hotel for Friday night, rebooked here for another 4 nights and started looking at a cruise out of somewhere else! 😩
