WDW Untangled - Trip Report - Disney October 2008

Day 1 - Disney's Hollywood Studios

We decided to walk down to the Studios, and we'd take the Friendship boat back when we left. So we walked past the Yacht Club, between the Swan/Dolphin and Boardwalk, and along the river - about a 20 minute walk.

On arrival, we check out the hand-written time board. It tells us that Tower of Terror was 13 minutes, Rock'n'Roller Coaster was 30, and Toy Story Mania was 70 minutes. We didn't expect to be able to get on TSM, and planned to hit it the next day in the morning instead. So we went over to TOT/RNRC first. The ACTUAL listed wait times were TOT, 30 minutes, and RNRC 70 minutes. However, we were able to walk right on to TOT, which was DD#2's first ride - she would be turning 4 in a couple weeks, and was saying how she wanted to ride it. She had no problems with it and loved it. DD#1 however likes to get herself worked up before a ride almost to the point of panic...We also got Fastpasses for RNRC, but they weren't good until 6:20pm.

We walked on the Great Movie Ride and Star Tours. And yes, the line was long at TSM. We decided to keep the day short given that we were up early and all the travel, skipped the Fastpasses for RNRC (which gave me a new one to scan for the FASTPASS info page), and hopped on a Friendship boat and returned back to BCV. We'd be back the next day.
