Disney World day one...

We had planned on waking up really early at about six in order to get ready and be at Hollywood Studios first thing for when they opened early. Well, we actually got there at about 10:30. Needless to say, we all slept through the alarm. More specifically, I turned it off when it went off, with every intention of standing right up after that, and it never happened. ;-)

We got there eventually though, and it made for a very fun birthday for me! We rode all the rides that are there except the new 3-D Toy Story ride. That one had ridiculously long waits on it all day long, so we’re just planning on going to tomorrow night. They’re open three hours later than the general public if you’re a resort guest, so we’ll hit it up then! Anywho, I’ve been collecting shot glasses from every state we visited, so I decided to grab one from the Rockin’ Roller Coaster and the Tower of Terror rides to add to my road trip memorabilia. I also got a guitar pick for my new Strat *excited giggle* from the Rockin’ Roller Coaster ride!

It was Ty and Trapper’s first time in Hollywood Studios, so obviously neither of them had ridden the Tower of Terror before. For those of you reading this that haven’t been, you sit in the elevator shaft, and it takes you through a short passage way where they have some awesome holographic stuff going on, telling the story of the Hollywood Tower Hotel. Everything goes pitch black, and then they drop the elevator that your riding! Up and down, up and down, chicks and small children screaming the whole time! I didn’t tell Ty and Trap what to expect at all either! Ahh… what fun! Very frightening! ;-)

After we were done, tired, and hungry, we headed over to Planet Hollywood for dinner. I’ve never been inside one of those places before. Nice restaurant with entertaining stuff to look at all over the walls. Ty got a little tipsy on some wine though! It was funny hearing him stumble over some of his words all night! ;-) We got back to our room at the nice early hour of 1:oo am though, so we had plenty of time to sleep it off.

It is now seven in the morning on Tuesday, I’ve had my coffee and a muffin, and am ready to do it all over again today!
