Trip Report Continued…
Sorry for delay, DW and I have been a bit under the weather the last week. It seems we wind up sick about half the time after a Disney trip.
@Teamubr, I’m sorry I didn’t check with Guest Services about upgrading passes. I went by a few times but they were very busy so I figured I would do it later. That happened until I just plain forgot.
Hollywood Studios and Rise of the Resistance – Monday.
With HS opening at 7:00am, DS and I arrived at the bus stop a little after 6:00am. There about 5 golf carts, and probably not enough people at the bus stop to fill those carts at the bus stop, so I don’t think we got the first bus.
The bus did arrive fairly quickly, and when we got to HS I had to go thru bag check. We got into the park at about 6:50. It was close, but we made it. At 7:00 we got into group 39!
DS and I then went over to Tower of Terror, Star Tours, and hit Rock-n-Roller coaster when the fast pass hit. Then back to Star Tours for a Fast Pass, and finally into Galaxy’s Edge.
For those that haven’t been yet, they did a really good job creating a Star Wars atmosphere. Think the world of Pandora and then some. At least I think so, as someone who likes Star Wars, and as someone who, when I saw Avatar, I thought it was a very nice-looking Pocahontas remake.
Sometime afternoon DW and Mom called and said they would be on the way soon. Figuring it take them about an hour, we noticed that Smuggler’s Run was less than hour so we jumped into that line. After about 10 mins in the line … Call for Boarding Group 39! We go out of line and hit Rise of the Resistance.
Rise of the Resistance is well worth the effort required to ride experience it. I won’t give any spoilers because I didn’t want any, but it was very enjoyable. One time is not enough. The first time I was too busy trying to take it all in to be aware of what was going on. (that's why we sceduled two HS days this time)
We met up with DW and Mom, did the Frozen sing-along, and headed back to Galaxy’s Edge. Rode Smuggler’s Run (now well under an hour), DS and I were Engineers. I have always liked Hondo, so it was interesting to seem him still kicking during the resistance time period.
Dinner that night was a near closing time reservation at Prime Time, food was good as always, and we got a very good server. The server is what makes Prime Time Café worth it.
It was well after the regular bus routes were over when we got out, so we got our own private bus back to the Fort.
And that was HS, next is Animal Kingdom.
, so instead we had take out from P&J's, ribs and pulled pork. It was good, but not brisket sandwich good, lol. We had a pot luck dinner with the group and then take out breakfast from P&J's. We will be back in March for four days and will be doing parks, so I will give a better trip report then.
