120 speakers worth of awesome blastin’ tunes at your head and a stretch limo that pulls major Gs under your feet, then over your head, then under your feet again…..it can only mean you’re taking a ride on ROCK ‘N’ ROLLER COASTER!! If you’re a thrill-ride-lover, then you’re sure to think that it’s one of the most awesome rides anywhere in Walt Disney World.
Enter Hollywood Studios, pass all the boulevard-style shopping, and take a hard right on Sunset Boulevard. You will see the awful, dreadful looming hotel with screaming folks plunging into a basement on an elevator gone wild (that thing makes my stomach turn), but turn left just before you get to the Tower of Terror monstrosity. That is where you will find the enormous guitar and the exhilarating coaster ride that will make you get back in line to experience it again and again.

Exploring Disney: Getting the Most Out of Character Interactions
If you’re anything like me or my kids, you get a little starstruck after waiting for an hour in line and it’s finally your turn to have a 1:1 conversation with your favorite Disney character. I go into it knowing that the awkward photo will someday become a priceless memento so we smile and nod before striking a couple of different poses and moving along. Generally afterwards, I’m left thinking, “why did we wait in line all that time and then not even say anything?” The characters are probably asking themselves the same thing. Bo-ring! Read more
