Yesterday we spent time at Disney Hollywood Studios; we wanted to try the new Toy Story Mania ride which is very popular, so we got to the park even before it opened, but still with all the queues we didn’t get to FastPass ride for 1-1/2 hours! It was well worth the wait! The ride simulates various shooting arcades in a fun fair, with display screens and 3D glasses – you knock ducks over with shooting balls, shoot rings over alien heads, and basically try to get as high a score as possible … so far, Ian wins 🙂
Next we had lunch in the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater, then headed home for a few hours:

So instead we enjoyed a holiday lights special at the USA street facades, called The Osborne Family Spectacle Of Lights, with many other people; the Osborne Family originally had many of these holiday light displays in their home, and now every few minutes Disney animates them, pulsing them in time to holiday music (I should have had a video camera with me!); Disney also makes it “snow”:
