Florida: #TBT Hollywood Studios

As I mentioned last week, I don't hate ALL of Florida. In fact, Disney World is one of my favorite places ever, and after my sub-30-degree run this morning, I'm dreaming of places in warmer climates.

If I had to pick a favorite park out of the four main ones, it would easily be Disney's Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM). I'm not someone who is all about present-day Hollywood and all the nonsense that goes on there, but I geek out HARD over the Golden Age of Hollywood vibe. If I wasn't such a feminist, sometimes I think it would be awesome to live in the 30s and 40s, and Hollywood Studios gives you a taste of that. 

Not to mention, two of my favorite thrill rides -- the Tower of Terror and the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster -- are there. The Tower of Terror is a "Twilight Zone"-themed ride set in a 1930s hotel. You ascend to the top, get in the "elevator," watch some trippy "Twilight Zone" shit (which I LOVE), then drop 13 stories. It's basically the BEST. And the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is an indoor 0-60 coaster with an all Aerosmith soundtrack. So fun. And aside from the thrill rides, there's the Great Movie Ride, set in a recreation of Grauman's Chinese Theater, which takes you through several classic movies.

Ugh, I'm making myself jealous of Jen's upcoming trip to Disney World.
