2008 Jun 1 It's Hollywood Studios!

"While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. ... Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord." - Luke 2:6-7 & 11
It Is Disney's Hollywood Studios Now!

This Spring (2008), Disney MGM Studios was officially renamed to Disney's Hollywood Studios. This was our first visit after the change in name. And we were pleasantly surprised when we were greeted at the entrance to become Disney's Hollywood Studios' VIP!

We were ushered to a VIP room where we were greeted by Minnie, Donald, and Stitch. What a surprised! Sonya was excited having their autographs taken. Ethan was excited with the hugs and kisses, and the tickles by Stitch! We took some great pictures with Minnie, Donald and Stitch before saying goodbye. What a wonderful way to start our visit to Hollywood Studios! The weather was wonderful. We headed first towards Playhouse Disney to catch their new show (launched this Spring).
We were "intercepted" by Buzz Lightyear and Woody from the Toy Story, and Handy Manny just outside the Live Stage.







After the engaging performance at Playhouse Disney, we walked down Sunset Boulevard to watch Sonya and Ethan's favorite "Beauty And The Beast".











We returned to PIXAR later in the evening to play the new attraction at the Disney's Hollywood Studios - Toy Story's Midway Mania! It was the most exciting interactive game we have ever played. Sonya and Michele sat in one toy cart while Ethan and I shared one toy cart. We were driven through Toy Story's Midway Mania, shooting paintballs at various targets. Michele topped the game with more than 100,000 points!

It was an exhilerating day at the Disney's Hollywood Studios!
