Disney: Day 6

Weeks before the trip (and the entire drive down and every day leading up to our visit to Hollywood Studios), Nathan talked non-stop about the Hollywood Tower of Terror (actually called the Hollywood Tower Hotel)!!! He was SO excited to see it and ride it....until, we got to the doors of the ride--then he wasn't so sure. He got on anyway (and insisted on sitting next to Alan). He did well in the beginning and then lost it when the "elevator" started free-falling and rising at random heights and speeds!! It was definitely a wild ride, but he survived!
Before we got to the ride...

The boiler was part of the setting that you passed on the way to the ride.

 These are the elevator doors--the seats for the ride were inside--this is where Nathan started getting a little nervous..

 Before the ride started, Nathan was nervous but still ready to ride....

 After the ride (and having recovered in the gift shop)....Nathan did an amazing job hanging in there!!

There were all kinds of cool things to look at, rides and shows!! Alan was particularly enamored with the cars!

(more on the stunt show later....)

They had some statues of famous people including
Walt Disney! 

We saw the plane that Walt flew over Florida in order to find the land he wanted to develop into Disney World.

 There was a great roller coaster that featured the music of Aeorsmith!

But I think the best parts were the special effects show, which demonstrated how they make things happen in TV and movies, and the stunt driving show we went to right after the special effects stuff--it was awesome!! They drenched this guy from the audience with water in a scene from a movie about the attack on Pearl Harbor..

A French village was the setting for the stunt driving show--I took video instead of pictures during the show, but not sure I'm going to be able to upload it.....

the show included Lightening McQueen, which Nathan thought was pretty cool!

And there you have Day 6.....almost done.....
