Got up nice and close to watch the Disney villains dance outside the castle. It’s not everyday you get to see Cruella de Vil, Captain Hook, and the Queen of Hearts in a rousing musical number.

Dinner at Tusker House
We ate supper at Tusker House, a buffet style restaurant with mostly African food. (They had a few American dishes like corn dogs and mac’n’cheese for the kids.) The buffet area looks like an African marketplace! We enjoyed the curry chicken, mango chutney, seafood stew, couscous, plantains, roast beef, pork loin, samosas, and of course, the dessert table! The warm banana bread pudding with vanilla sauce (their specialty) was very good.

POP Century 1950s
We are staying in one of the 1950’s buildings, with these giant Lady and the Tramp statues. One of my favourite classic Disney movies 🙂

It’s tough to be a bug
It’s tough to be a bug. Just some posters from the queue. Forgot about the “bee sting” and the bugs running underneath your bottom. Spiders falling from the ceiling were cool.
Nice view outside our room

Finishing Hollywood Studios
Next stop was Little Mermaid play. Hard to tell the story in 17 minutes but they do. Then FastPass+ for Toy Story Mania then Fantasmic. After Fantasmic we did Star Tours then Legend of Jack sparrow. Then we left. Got on a packed bus back to Pop Century. Sure beats trying to find your car and navigating Disney’s highways.

The Great Movie Ride
The Great movie ride. Nothing better than being in the middle of a gun battle and being hijacked by gangsters.
