[WishUponAStar]

ANYWAY, We arrive to Studios at 6:05pm and thankfully there was no line at Guest Services. Daniel had his annual within 5 minutes and we rushed through the gates & off to Hollywood and Vine. We arrived at the podium RIGHT at 6:15, PHEW, imagine that for timing & were seated within 10 minutes.

Both of us were looking forward to a nice meal, relaxed, good food, etc. to calm down after that panic but once again no dice. Hollywood & Vine was HORRIBLE!!!! We had eaten there 3-4 years ago and the food was good but it was just GROSS this time. TOTALLY gross. The quality of food was poor; green beans soaking in butter (too much), dry breads, even lettuce with a little brown & pink on the EDGES, the meat was only mediocre, etc. It was just bad! We were both able to eat one plate 'cause we were so hungry & the desserts were just ok but we DEFINATELY won't be visiting H&V again anytime soon.

After dinner we didn't have a lot of time to walk around but we did Muppets, tried to see Luxo, Jr. (I was told "someone tripped over his cord & he wasn't appearing for the rest of the evening"), we also did the animation academy, & just walked around for a bit.

The crowds didn't appear to be too bad but getting on Toy Story was impossible at this point (obviously) and our tummies were too unsettled to do ToT or RnRc. We decided to head back to Kidani, unpack, & get a good night's sleep.

Daniel did stop by the front desk to tell them about the 50 minute Studios bus situation & the CM did assure us that MANY guests had already alerted them to what happened.

Stay tuned for a MUCH smoother & wonderful Day 2!
