Hi, I'm Pat and welcome to my blog, Life's A Trip!
I love traveling, food and getting a great deal on anything - which is what this blog is about.
I'll share not only my travel destinations including accommodations, dining hot spots, and top (and weird!) travel attractions with you - but how to make any trip more budget friendly.
Lights, camera, action! We're off to WDW Hollywood Studios!
Although this was my least favorite of all of the WDW parks, there was one place that stood out heads above the rest so I'll start with that one. If you visit Hollywood Studios (especially if you're a Boomer like me) then you have to try - 50's Prime Time Cafe.
While the food is good, this is a place you go to for the 1950's kitsch atmosphere.
Believe me, you'll be transported back to the 1950's, your server becoming "Mom".
"You clean every bit of food off that plate! There are starving children in Africa you know!"
"Get your elbows off the table! Were you born in a barn?!"
"Don't chew with your mouth open!"
Our server sounded so much like our stepmother that my sister and I laughed our way through the entire meal.
The menu is just good down home comfort food cooking - fried chicken, meatloaf, pot roast to name a few entrees. We both ordered the sampler plate and it was pretty good for Disney food.
What we both got a kick out of was the fact there was a 50's refrigerator as part of their decor that was a duplicate of the 50's refrigerator in my parents lake house. We took a pic of ourselves in front of it that I still have buried in a box downstairs.
One warning: Go in the FIRST Prime Time Cafe entrance. Apparently there's a second entrance that leads to a buffet that costs way more than the sit down table service you get in the 50's Prime Time Cafe.
On with the rides and attractions...

Blast off on a high-speed indoor roller coaster featuring loops, corkscrews, and an epic rock soundtrack by Aerosmith. This thrilling ride takes you on a lightning-fast limo ride through the neon streets of Los Angeles. Most of this ride is in the dark!

Muppetvision 3D
I love the Muppets, especially the Swedish Chef. Back in the day, Frank Oz was an instructor of mine. This was a cute show and it'll give you a chance to cool down on a hot Florida day.
slinky dog dash roller coaster

alien swirling saucers
Take an intergalactic spin with the adorable aliens from Toy Story.
indiana jones epic stunt spectacular
Cheer as Indy and Marion perform incredible stunts with explosive special effects—and learn the secrets behind the magic.
I'm not all that into Hollywood so maybe that's why I got bored about 10 minutes into this show. I don't really care how they blow things up.
Mickey & Minnie's runaway railway
Zip away on a zany adventure through a cartoon universe crammed with surprises. This is a tame ride more for the kids.
toy story mania
Zip through an exhilarating 4D shootin’ game starring Toy Story characters—and blast away.
This is just basically a replica of the Buzz Lightyear shooting ride in Magic Kingdom.
It looks as though Disney has considerably beefed up the number of shows it's now offering at Hollywood Studios but since I haven't seen them, I can't comment on them. They're shown on Disney's official website.
