Wednesday was our day for Hollywood Studios. Andrew had been looking forward to this day since we told them we were going to Disney. He was dying to ride the Tower of Terror again. We got there early again right before the park opened. Our plan was this: Marc, Andrew, Mary Mac, and I go straight to Tower of Terror and then Rock n Roller Coaster, while Nana, Pops, and Emma take all our passes back to Pixar Place and get fast passes for Toy Story Mania. I had no idea what the ride was, but evidently it is very popular and Fast Passes run out quickly.

Emma of course was having none of this plan, as she wanted to stay with me. So my mom came with us so she could sit with Emma (aka screaming banshee) while the 4 of us went on Tower of Terror, and Pops went to get us Fast Passes. We went on ToT and Mary Mac didn't like it at all. Well, I take that back, she wasn't scared, and she liked when the lights went out and all the stars showed up, but she did NOT like the falling down, riding straight back up, only to fall again and again, and again.....she was happy to say that she had ridden it, but more than happy not to have to ride it again.
After that, Marc, Andrew, and I went over to Rock n Roller coaster to jump in line real quick, only it wasn't running, and they didn't know when it would be back up again. Turns out we didn't get to ride on Wednesday since it didn't open back up in the time we were there.
Since we couldn't ride that we went to meet up with Pops and go on the Back Stage Tour while waiting for our Fast Pass time. We had fun, the kids grabbed a snack, and we took potty breaks to kill time before TSM. Then our time rolled around:
Toy Story Mania is a 4D almost carnival type game

Let me tell you. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVED this ride.
Probably because of the silly, giggling, little girl riding with me.
But also because it was fun! We got to shoot targets and compete against all the other people in our car. I can see why this ride is so popular too. The wait for stand by got up to over an hour long, and the Fast Passes were almost out by the time we got off around 10:45!

While Andrew and Marc rode Tower of Terror like 5 more times, the rest of us went and saw the Beauty and the Beast show. The girls loved it. Emma sat staring with her mouth agape the whole time. She was mesmerized. When we came out she and Mary Mac couldn't stop dancing like Belle and the Beast. So cute!
After that, we headed to Epcot for the rest of the evening. We wanted to try and find Mulan, and get a couple rides in there before our dinner reservation at Garden Grill.

Mulan! :)
After the Norway ride, the kids found these fun hats in the gift shop. Mary Mac says Andrew is a viking, and she and Emma are Opera Singers. I have no idea how she knew that. Don't you love the braids coming off their hats?

Andrew and Marc got to ride Test Track. Mary Mac and I were going to ride, but she got scared at the last minute, so we just waited for Marc and Andrew to finish.

We were supposed to stay at Epcot that night for the fireworks, but the kids were D.O.N.E. Emma fell asleep on the bench in my lap waiting, and Andrew and Mary Mac were having meltdowns, so we decided to head on back to resort and get to bed before our last day. At least we beat the crowds that stayed for fireworks! ;)
