Hollywood Studios

We were determined to stick to our schedule. My house got up by 7am, and ate a bacon and scrambled egg breakfast. We picked up the rest of the group at the other house and left by 8:30am. Bill's group left a bit later. We arrived at Hollywood Studios at 9am. Handicapped parking is great at this park, it's right outside of the front gate.

We stayed in our separate groups today and we all agreed we moved much quicker through the park. My group did Toy Story Mania, the Great Movie Ride, Star Tours, the Walt Disney Exhibition, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and the High School Musical Show. Jessica's group did Indiana Jones and the Backlot tour during the day. Genese's group did a mix of the rest. We had registered Karrie for her birthday celebration and her group received a fast pass for each attraction for the day. They had a good time.

Today's park touring went very smoothly. This was a great park for the residents because there were a lot of shows, shade and sitting. I loved the looks on the faces of George, Sherry and Oriana while we watched Beauty and the Beast. George was so funny after doing Star Tours. It was more thrilling than he expected. The picture of Tammy clinging to Bill on Tower of Terror is hysterical.

We arrived back at the houses at 3:30pm. We had missed a delivery of a package, thinking it would be left. We are hoping it will be left tomorrow. The signed paper is stuck to the front door with a band aid.

We all took a 2 hour rest from each other. It worked out well because people were pretty crabby when we got home. Everyone was refreshed and friendly at 6pm. We grilled hamburgers and made salad for dinner. Bill bought an ice cream cake for Karrie's birthday and everyone celebrated. Showers, medications and evening routines ended by 9:30pm.

A couple of the residents keep asking why we only booked a week. Jim is ready to live in Florida. I expected him to enjoy the anticipation more than the trip but he really loves this house/group setting. It's been nice getting to know Ed better. He wants to buy a Mickey shirt. He didn't go shopping with us the other day because he saw the movie. He is definitely looking forward to the roller coasters in the Magic Kingdom tomorrow.

Karen plans on meeting her mother in the Magic Kingdom tomorrow around 10am. She's packed up her things and will spend the night with her parents. She'll return Wednesday night.
