special effects set on the Backstage Tour
We arrived at Hollywood Studios in time for lunch at the ABC Commissary (Sci Fi Theater was so backed up there were probably 75 people waiting). From lunch we went straight to Star Tours which ended up being one of my favorite rides and while Ben was making his own lightsaber it began to POUR outside. We ended up buying ponchos and braving it once it became a drizzle. We wandered around on the sets of re-created cities, sat in for a great stunt show and then did the Backstage Tour to see a special effects set, a water war (Pearl Harbor) like show, behind the scenes Disney departments and props. Very neat to see.
After this and a walk through to see the Tower of Terror and Rock and Roll Rollercoaster we caught the shuttle back in time to catch some of the guy's "olympics".
Also, I forgot to add in my earlier post that this was Gina's first visit to Disney. It was very cool to go to the parks with someone who had never been there to see their amazement at Disney's creativity and ingenuity!
