Last full day with a spectacular end!

Friday, our last full day, we decided we would go to Hollywood Studios to ride Toy Story Mania.
First for breakfast we used our snack credits and went to the food court to get a couple of danish. Then we headed to the park. It was very hot outside. When we arrived the wait said 60 minutes for the ride and fast passes were available for 5:30pm. We opted to stand in line and it took approximately 45 minutes. The ride was great and I did much better this time. It is a 3D ride/game in which you pull a string to shoot targets. It is very exhausting for your arm to keep pulling the rope but it was fun. After the ride we went to see the Beauty and the Beast show. We hadn't seen it in years. It was good but they should have enclosed the theater as it is very hot with little air circulation.
For lunch we decided to go to Downtown Disney and eat at Wolfgang Puck Express again. We just loved this place. To get there we took the boat to the Swan/Dolphin hotel and then took the bus to Downtown Disney. The lunch was great. I got the crispy chicken again and Chris had pizza. We then walked back to our hotel. Chris went swimming and I read my book for a bit. My sister called and we chatted and then my mother in law called and we chatted.
For dinner we went to Japan and the Tokyo Dining restaurant in Epcot. It was good. We both had Tempura. It was very hot outside and we took the bus to Hollywood Studios and then walked to Epcot so we were just happy to be in air conditioning.
After dinner we headed back to the resort as the Patriots were playing the third preseason game of the season. We watched the game and stayed up until 11:59pm when to our delight we got to watch the Spaceshuttle Discovery lift off. It was spectacular to say the least. We had a great view from just outside our room and it lit up the whole sky! So glad we had the chance to see a nighttime liftoff.
