||Day Eleven||
We started our day at Hollywood Studios with the "Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular", which truly was spectacular and also hilarious. After getting pumped up from the show, we made our way over to the The Twilight Zone "Tower of Terror". Somehow I managed to set aside my better judgement and give this ride a try. I was absolutely terrified. And of course it is not until you are strapped into the ride that you begin to debate whether it's too late to risk looking like a pansy and getting the heck out of there, or maybe that's just me.
So there I was, with a death grip on my seat belt (as if that provided me any security or comfort) as the ride climbed it's way up. After braving the first couple of plummets I began panicking, crying, and ultimately resenting myself for thinking I might enjoy this. In hindsight, it probably wasn't the worst ride I've ever been on, but that still doesn't stop my heart from racing and my palm from sweating just remembering it.
After surviving the Tower of Terror, I was skeptical of doing the Aerosmith Rock 'N' Roller Coaster. But after some consolation from my dad that it "wasn't too bad", I decided to wait in line and give it the old college try... that is, until we got to the front of the line and I saw that thing take off. This time, I went full pansy and I have no regrets.
Among the other rides and attractions that we did, Star Tours was probably one of my favorites of the day. It wasn't a roller coaster (i.e. no feeling of impending doom) but it was motion simulation attraction that was more entertaining than simply watching a video but yet did not make my heart jump up into my throat, a win-win in my book!
The whole day was full of fun, sun, and a definitely lot of walking. And while I am enjoying my vacation, especially my time here at Disney, I can't help but start a countdown for myself.
1 day left of Disney, 2 days left in Florida, and 3 days until I'm home. I am so lucky.
