Hollywood Studios!! & An American Idol Experience!!


Day 2, of our Disney fun, was located at Hollywood Studios!



The little ones LOVED the 'Honey I Shrunk the Kids Playground,' while the BIG kids rode the BIG rides.


 There was a huge sniffing, dog's nose and a sprinkler spraying water.....


And, an ant busy at work. :)



 Todd took Tanner, Zach and Hannah on the 'Rock N Roller Coaster' a couple of times that day!



The 'Tower of Terror' was also one of their favorites.



All through out the park, you may run into one of the many characters.  We thought the 'Green Army Man,' from Toy Story was too funny!  Look at his shoes!  I LOVE all the little details that Disney does so well.




The Toy Story ride was definitely a favorite for the whole family, too.


Many of the rides are in 3D!!   TOO FUN!



These boys are out for blood.  What do you think? HA!



This Extreme Stunt show was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!


Not only were there racing cars doing all kinds of fancy-scary thrills.......



But even Lightening McQueen showed up!  WHOO HOO!



 They also showed motorcycle stunts, fire, water explosions and much more.  LOVED it!


They also have a cool Star Wars ride, which is also in 3D.


I thought Zach was going to explode with excitement. :)



At the end of the day, we made our way to the stadium for the spectacular "Fantasmic" show.

It features Mickey, all of the princesses and lights, fireworks, puppets, smoke, water.....AMAZING!




This was Emily's face the ENTIRE time!  She kept screaming out all the princesses' names.
 Pure joy. :)

Another fun part of our Hollywood Studios experience was Todd auditioning for 'American Idol Experience!'  It is part of the American Idol family, but not the REAL show.  They have 'found' many of the top 10 singers for the REAL show, though, so it is definitely an avenue for anyone wanting to see if they have what it takes. :)


So, since Todd is 42 years old, and can't audition for the REAL one, we all thought it would be fun to see what the 'Experience' is like!

After two different auditions in front of the producers, HE MADE THE SHOW!!!!

They interviewed him, filmed all of us playing around the park, and took many takes of him, showing the fun and exciting side of the audition process.

It was SO fun!

He sang "Amazed" by Lonestar, and received nothing but praise from the judges.  The other contestants, unfortunately did not get a lot of praise, and I was a little embarrassed for them.


I know that I am biased.
I know that I am married to this man, but SERIOUSLY!!  THIS MAN CAN SING! :)

When it was all said and done, a younger girl won.  :(  That's o.k., she can actually have her chance to audition at the REAL American Idol now.
It was SOOOO fun to see Todd on the big stage, in front of a thousand people, with the lights and music and judges and everything.  It was a great experience and we were all SO proud!



Hollywood Studios was a blast!


Blessings,
Steph
