We missed breakfast at the food court, and we didn't have lunch scheduled at Hollywood Studios (formerly known as MGM), so we grabbed a quick meal at the food court before heading out. I had a taco salad that was quite delicious. Guy ate a quesadilla that I do believe I remember him saying was tasty. We laughed and laughed about the huge, scary men's heads hanging from the wall that Disney for some reason thought would be good decor. I wanted to take pictures of Guy imitating the men's expressions, but he told me he would get better at it throughout the week and that we should wait. Of course, I forgot to ever get the pictures, and I'm still mad at him for making me wait. You can see one of the men's heads to the far right in the picture below. The other head must be newer because I can't find a picture of it, but it was just as scary.
Anyway, after eating, we took a bus to Hollywood Studios and started our day. It was drizzling when we got to the park, and that turned into a full-on rainstorm shortly after we arrived. Good thing we had raincoats. We chose to ride Toy Story Mania first, and it ended up being our favorite ride of the day. The wait was 50 minutes, but luckily most of it was indoors. If you haven't seen this ride, here's a description of it. It all went by so quickly, but of course Guy, the video game master, beat my score by about double. I asked him how he got such a high score, and he told me he ONLY aimed for the targets with high point values instead of shooting at them all as fast as he could, like I did for my strategy. :)
After Toy Story, we did Muppets 3-D, which was a typical Disney 3-D show, but entertaining nonetheless, and then we rode Star Tours, which made me feel kinda yucky inside. I'm not good at things that simulate space travel, I suppose. After those two rides and a worthless walk through the Journey into Narnia "ride," it was time for lunch at Hollywood & Vine. I had pre-booked lunch at this buffet restaurant because it came with the reserved seating for Fantasmic!, our favorite show from our last Disney trip.
To our dismay, Hollywood & Vine's buffet food was really not very good, and by this time in the day, we were both soaked to the bone, despite our rain gear. We decided to head out and do a few more things and then make a decision on whether or not to skip Fantasmic.
After lunch, we sat through the Voyage of the Little Mermaid (eh), The Magic of Disney Animation, and the Great Movie Ride before deciding we were too cold and wet to wait around and see if Fantasmic would be cancelled or not. It turns out we made a good decision because we overheard a woman on the bus later in the trip saying they waited till 6:45 to announce the show would not go on.
We headed back to our hotel room, changed clothes, and decided to put our free 30 minutes of arcade time that came with our trip to use in the French Quarter arcade. To my dismay, they no longer had any games that offered tickets to accumulate and trade in for prizes, but I enjoyed about 20 games of basketball, a weird firefighting game, and a few other things before our 30 minutes were up.
All in all, day three was a good day. The weather was disappointing, but otherwise, it was a-okay.

What day did you spend trying to find counter-evidence to my evidence that the Steelers cheated to win their 6th cheat-worthy superbowl? I want to read about that day.
I hate Facebook. Laura's 2 days in and is already an addict.
