Grant... We'd booked breakky at the Character Cafe at the Nickelodeon Resort for 8am. What a peaceful start to the day... NOT!! Lots of little kids, all screaming, some in excitement, some in fear, as the Nick characters wandered the room posing for photos with kids. Jo got a photo with Dora the Explorer especially for Harriett. After we escaped the cafe, we trundled to the shuttle bus en-route to Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Now there's good news and bad news... Good news first: we didn't spend much money at the park. Bad news: it rained continuously and we resorted to trudging around the park, along with everyone else, draped in Disney ponchos ($8 each!!). We did manage to visit all the main attractions, including a new Star Wars simulator ride, but we did miss the Aerosmith Rockin' Rollercoaster.
We started on the Tower of Terror ride (where the lift rises and falls a few floors in the dark) and Lucy got a bit scared but recovered quickly. She was very brave. When we went on the Star Wars flight simulator, Tom & I came out feeling a little nauseas. It was still fun, but not as much as we'd hoped 'cause of the rain. We got home mid afternoon and were relieved to get out of our wet clothes.
We've had 2-1/2 inches so far, it's still raining now and there's more to come overnight and tomorrow. The forecast is for it to improve slowly through the week so we'll be happy waiting it out.
Grant.
