Disney's Hollywood Studios: The Hollywood that Never was and Always Will Be

For part 3 of my Disney How To series, I'm taking everyone back to old Hollywood!
That's right!  We're going to Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Hollywood Studios has a special place in my heart because I've worked there!In the summer of 2009 I worked as an Attractions hostess at the Voyage of the Little Mermaid/Playhouse Disney Live on Stage shows.Basically, I was that annoying person who yells at you to move all the way down to the end of the row, even though everyone wants to stop right in the middle of said row because that's where the best view of the show is.  


That's my cousin Holly!  This is one of the only pictures I have of the Sorcerers Hat at Hollywood Studios! (And here I just said Hollywood Studios is near and dear to my heart. Fail.)
Anywho, lets get to the goods.
ATTRACTIONS:Hollywood Studios has the best thrill ride attractions.  So this is definitely the park for you if you're a fan of thrill rides.  But they have a mix of rides and shows. 
So here are the worth while rides: The Hollywood Tower of TerrorRockin Roll Roller Coaster: Starring AerosmithStar Tours Toy Story Midway ManiaThe Great Movie Ride
Worth while shows:The Indian Jones Stunt Show Spectacular Beauty and the BeastVoyage of the Little Mermaid (obviously)
There is one hidden gem that I am a HUGE fan of, that I want to share with you guys.It's called the Animation Academy.Not a whole lot of people know about it and it super fun.Basically a trained animator (not a real life Disney animator) teaches you how to draw one of our Disney characters.The best part is you don't have to be good.Look at my drawing, that's supposed to be Woody. womp wompAll that matters is you try and you have blast doing it!

RESTAURANTS: 

Like Magic Kingdom there aren't too many restaurants at Hollywood Studios.

But what they do have is really good!

50s Prime Time Cafe - Great fun! All the waiters treat you like you're eating in your Mom's kitchen in the 1950s.  Once when I ate there, our waiter made me go stand in the corner because he had to tell me three times to get my elbows off the table.  See....fun! 

The Hollywood Brown Derby - Takes you back to old Hollywood.  It's apparently an exact replica of the Hollywood Brown Derby in LA.

Mama Melrose Restaurant Italiano - It's Italian and its good. Not much else to say about this one.

Sci-Fi Dine In Theatre - This one is fun because you sit in convertible cars and watch the trailers to cheesy sci-fi movies, like you're at drive inn movie theatre.

EXTRAS:

Pixar Play Parade - Happens at 3:00pm and stars everyones favorite Pixar characters.

FANTASMIC - This is their night time fireworks show.  It's part live stage show and part fireworks show.  It's probably one of the best shows on property.  But you do have to get there about 45 minutes before show time to get an ideal seat.  Maybe even earlier than that.  But trust me, it's worth it!

Well friends those are the highlights of Hollywood Studios.

If you at least hit everything I mentioned here you come out of your day at this park looking like this.....

I promise!  
Till next time.
