6/23/15 Hollywood Studios Was Much Better?

    Yesterday was a rough start to our "fun" week but maybe we do need to listen to Boy and cut out Animal Kingdom entirely.  It is a hot, humid, smelly park, with little options to find AC places.  I wanted to include it because my in-laws had not seen it.
    Hollywood Studios has a different format.  It is set around big shows/rides/presentations for a given movie.  We walked in and were about 5 minutes from the start of Indiana Jones Stunt Set.  They go through and show us behind the scenes how they prep for a fight scene, or other interesting features in a movie.
    After this, it was to my personal favorite in this park, the Star Wars ride.  It had a "40" minute wait, but did not seem that bad, thanks to the conversing and the fact we were standing in mostly cool shade.  Once in the bldg, it took no time to make it up and we were out in no time.  We then spent a long time in the souvenir store, Chubs wanted a lightsaber built by hand, which takes time only because the kids think the pieces matter.
    We were then able to slide very quickly to the Muppet Show, which is a theater with interactive elements.  I honestly zoned out and Chubs gave me a few elbows when I started snoring.  It is a cute show, but it hasn't changed much from the past.  After, we walked through the souvenir shop, bought nothing, and then we headed to a restaurent where we could eat in air conditioned and relative quiet comfort.  The burger was forgettable, and even the soda was mostly carbonated water, missing the part that makes it yummy cola.
    At this point, we headed to the Great Movie Ride and it took about 110 min to get on.  My m-i-l said she thought the salad she ate might have given her sickness and rushed to the bathroom after standing in line all that time.
    Maybe to be careful, I headed to bathroom, but I just farted a bit.  We then went and got together with My brother in Law and all rode the Toy Story ride which is fun.  
    After this, there were small rides like Ariel's Under The Sea Sing along and then it felt like we saw entire park.  We don't do roller coasters or thrill rides, so the two big ones left were OK.  Wife then expected I would sit for 2.5 hours for the nine o'clock showing of  Fantasm.  She suggested I could leave early, mostly because we have needed fans to be really comfortable.
