Day Eleven-Disney's Hollywood Studios

It was another late night at The Magic Kingdom last night, but we dragged ourselves out of bed and headed to Disney's Hollywood Studios. Our first stop was Rock n Roller Coaster as it had just opened from a small refurb----love that takeoff! Tower of Terror was next. There are a few signature attractions in Orlando--Pirates of the Caribbean/Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney World and Spiderman at Universal Orlando, but Tower of Terror ranks up there with the best of them.

After Tower of Terror, it was time for lunch at 50s Prime Time Cafe and it was none too early as we were starving. 50s Prime Time Cafe is styled after kitchens of the 1950s with televisions playing clips of old TV series. The food is good, but it's the atmosphere that is the draw. We started with the wedge salad. My wife had the BBQ chicken sandwich with fries and I had the fried chicken which is served with mashed potatoes and southern greens. For dessert, I had the Boston Cream cupcake. Everything was OK, not spectacular and I am not a fan of southern greens.

After lunch, we finished a few attractions and headed out. For dinner, we decided to try The Lake Buena Vista Ale House located right outside the entrance to Hotel Plaza Boulevard. The food was typical pub food, not spectacular but good. We decided to try two appetizers, fried clams and fried mozzarella. For entrees, my wife ordered a quesadilla and I had a steak. We wasted a lot of food.

After dinner, it was time to head back and pack as we were on the road home tomorrow morning.
