Wet But Wonderful

This afternoon, we went to Disney's Hollywood Studios, previously known as MGM Studios. The temperature was in the mid 70's with a slight breeze and it seemed to be a slow day for the park, so we got to really enjoy the Stars & Cars Parade which neither of us had ever seen before. We didn't even have to wait to ride the Tower of Terror. We had front row seats, and during one of the free falls, my purse was about to sail up and over the rail! It was chest high when I grabbed it.

We ate supper at the Hollywood & Vine Cafe. It is a buffet style place and offers an excellent variety, not as extensive as Fresh Harvest, but still above average. The foods were delicious and I asked for the recipe for their corn spoon bread. To my delighted surprise, our waiter produced it all printed up on a card.

After the meal, we strolled over to Epcot to check out the revised Spaceship Earth ride (I highly recommend it) and revisit our favorite attraction, Soarin' where there was almost no wait. Rain had begun to fall before we made it to Epcot and there was no let up during our stay of several hours. Because of gusty winds, our poncho and umbrella offered little protection and we were both soaked before we got to the first ride, which we stayed on for a second go round because it was warm and dry and mostly empty. This was a very slow night at Disney. We had a wonderful time, rain, wind and all.

It continues to rain here and our transplanted bushes really need that. They can't seem to get enough water.
