This was by far the easiest park for me to write about so far because I love it so much. Our favorites today start with you American Idols and come to a complete stop at a really Great Movie Ride…<\/strong><\/p>\n

American Idol Experience<\/strong>
\nI really wasn’t sure how I’d feel about this the first time I saw it. \u00a0I love the show but I couldn’t imagine how it would translate to Disney. \u00a0Having seen it twice now it’s something I really enjoy. \u00a0I’ll be interested to see if the Hollywood Studios version changes at all as the “real” version has undergone some changes. \u00a0Either way I look forward to it and am amazed by the talented guests that have performed. \u00a0If you are there when I am, no need to worry. \u00a0I’m not brave enough to venture out on the stage.
\nBeauty and the Beast<\/strong>
\nTucked over by Tower of Terror and Rock n’ Roller Coaster, poor Belle almost seems out of place and easy to miss. \u00a0Do take the time to find her as Beauty and the Beast is well worth it. \u00a0Kids enjoy the transformation of Beast’s household while adult’s find something special in a simple love story. \u00a0All of course set to a tune as old as time. \u00a0It’s just right for a nice rest from the bustle of the park. \u00a0We missed this last time, but we won’t on our next trip.
\nCupcakes at Starring Roles<\/strong>
\nFor months now every time a blog shows a good looking Starring Roles cupcake I share it on my Facebook page. \u00a0Funny thing is that I’m not a big dessert person. In spite of that I have determined what I am getting and how this will happen. \u00a0We will enter the park, get Fast Passes for Toy Story Midway Mania, go on Toy Story and then straight to Starring Roles where I will order a Butterfinger cupcake. \u00a0My husband can order something different (hopefully that I like). \u00a0We will cut them in half and enjoy two different kinds. \u00a0It is the perfect plan!
\nDine with an Imagineer<\/strong>
\nDoing this is one of my very special plans this trip. \u00a0We’re doing Deluxe Dining and this seemed well worth two dining credits. \u00a0First I’m excited to see the Brown Derby. \u00a0I’ve said this before but I am an incredibly picky eater. \u00a0This is the trip I am planning to not limit our experiences because of it. \u00a0More challenging for me is this has a set menu. \u00a0I found something I could work with. \u00a0What I am really most excited about is the experience. \u00a0A small group of no more than ten of us will dine with an Imagineer. \u00a0How Cool! \u00a0At the end of the meal we get a keepsake as well. \u00a0I’m glad I moved our Fantasmic package to dinner so we \u00a0lunch with an
\nImagineer.<\/p>\n

\nEarful Tower<\/strong>
\nThe first time I saw these (and heard the name) I was a kid and I thought all water towers should look like this. \u00a0They would make people so much happier. \u00a0I believe at the very least Disney should display them more prominently.
\nFantasmic<\/strong>
\nI schedule our trips around Fantasmic. \u00a0I find out when it’s offered and back plan from there. \u00a0It’s one of our favorites shows at Disney. \u00a0This year I booked the Fantasmic dinner package. \u00a0We’ve done it without in the past but we’re going to try it this time. \u00a0At least we won’t have to rush in and try to get good seating, not that any seating is bad mind you. \u00a0With the meal package we get there 45 minutes ahead of time after having a great meal at Hollywood and Vine and they have saved section of seating just for us.
\nWhy all the fuss? \u00a0The show is incredible. \u00a0If you haven’t seen it you don’t know how much you are missing. \u00a0It is a battle between good and evil with our dear Mickey defending good until the end.
\nGreat Movie Ride<\/strong>
\nSome people say it’s dated and boring. \u00a0I love the Great Movie Ride because it helps keep alive many screen legends and masterpieces that might be forgotten. \u00a0Plus it’s a lot of fun. \u00a0Shootouts, aliens, munchies: this ride has it all. \u00a0It’s a great way to relax during a long day at Hollywood Studios.<\/p>\n

Our second Hollywood adventure will start at Hall of Fame Plaza with bronze busts and lead us to an Italian meal that’s more than a meal at Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano. Ciao!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
