Another Birthday Trip, Oct 2019 - Day 14, Hollywood Studios, Magic Kingdom, Swimming and Millers

[Lisa29]

The previous day is HERE.

Wednesday 16 October 2019

Despite a very long day yesterday, I was awake just before 7.25am. I caught up on social media on my phone and could soon hear movement downstairs, along with Madison and Kaley waking up. At just after 8am, we were all up and having breakfast.

We got ready to go out, the kids all watching the TV for a bit first, and left at 9.50am.

The road name our house was on

We were going back to Hollywood Studios this morning. Our first FP had been for Star Tours at 9am, but this was just made as part of the three you have to book. Our main purpose for going today was for our FP for Slinky Dog Dash.

As I mentioned yesterday, we had been included on the booking for BLT so were classed as onsite guests today, meaning we didn't need to pay for parking. We were parking in Mickey 309 at 10.08, just in time for the start of our 10.15am FP window for SDD.

We walked from the car to the entrance. They had just opened up some new bag check lanes so it didn't take long. Saying that, the guy that Phil went to was very slow.

We stopped for a few photos on Hollywood Boulevard, though not for any PP's as the lines for them were all long

Looking back towards Crossroads of the World, it was very busy

We quickly walked round to Toy Story Land (busy, busy)

The detail for this land, and this ride, is brilliant

It was just after 10.25am when we got here, and the standby time was 70 minutes.

Madison had decided she didn't want to go on so Phil took Kaley, whilst Madison and I went to wait to see if we could see them

I think it was at this part of the ride that we did see them. I hadn't watched a ride through of this so thought that the curved drop part that you walk past when walking through TSL was after this so we rushed there, not realising they had already done this part of the ride.

Their ride photo

We met up with them at the exit to the ride. They had both loved it and Kaley wanted to go back on. As we had FP's for the four of us, Kaley and Madison swapped Magic Bands so that Kaley could use Madison's FP. We went and joined the FP line

We tapped in at the second point at 10.42am and were off the ride at 10.52am. Though that wasn't long, the way they opened up the lines and mixed the FP's in seemed odd, and people behind us in the FP line ended up on the ride before us.

Anyway, this was a brilliant ride and I was glad that I got to go on it and Kaley loved getting a second ride on it. Annoyingly, our ride photo never appeared in our MDE account and we realised too late to do anything about it.

We met back up with Phil and Madison and walked through a very busy TSL (the wait for Alien Swirling Saucers was 35 minutes ) to Star Wars Land

Busy-ish

Some photos as we were walking through

It had gone very sunny again

We hadn't had the PP photo taken where it is one of those zoom in, taken from a distance ones, so joined the line for that

The normal picture, before you turn around for the long distance picture

We carried on walking through

And had a quick look in the shops

This price!
