Hollywood Studios and the 4th July

So on the 3rd of July Hannah and I got up early to get to Hollywood Studios for opening so we could get back and chill in the afternoon before the Magic Kingdom fireworks. We went straight on Tower of Terror which I love but every time I go on it I crap myself at the top and want to get off! It's that wait for the drop that's horrible. We also did Rock'n'Rollercoaster which is great fun and then Star Tours which is a simulator and they have revamped it so now there's new ride sequences and video. We also went on the Great Movie Ride which is cheesy but I love it!

 In the evening we headed to Magic Kingdom as they have their 4th July fireworks. As we headed out there was a massive storm brewing and we sheltered in the shops on MainStreet USA with some tasty treats whilst we waited. They pushed the fireworks back by an hour and quite a few people left which was good as it was soo crowded. It was well worth the wait though as the fireworks were amazing.

Happy 4th of July!

I was lucky to be off on the 4th so I started my day sunbathing. In the afternoon I went with Cherry to visit her friend who lives here and did the CRP 8 years ago! We headed to her friends place in Davenport and on the way there was a massive thunderstorm and the worst rain we couldn't see where we were driving I would have hated to drive in it. We had a fun afternoon celebrating the 4th with drinks and good food. We had a chocolate fountain which was amazing and the tastiest brownie/oreo dessert cake thing. Then we all headed to Epcot for their fireworks. We stopped by Spaceship Earth first and jumped the queue by going in the VIP back entrance which was good fun! Then we had Margaritas from Mexico which were yummy but so strong. We headed to the UK pavillion to watch the fireworks and ended up seeing them from the Rose and Crown Pub and we had such a good view. After the normal Illuminations:Reflections of Earth they had a 4th July finale and they were incredible! There was so much going on, they projected presidents onto the ball in the lagoon, had JFKs speech and it was absolutely amazing and the end was soooo intense the noise was like nothing I've heard before. I'm soo glad we got to watch them it was such a great 4th July and it was really nice of Cherrys friend to take us.
