September Orlando Theme Park Repo: Hollywood Studios 🎬✨

Spent most of my time exploring the Star Wars area! Dressing the part with a lightsaber unlocks tons of character interactions—like stormtroopers stopping to question you 😎. Plus, Photopass photographers snap more pics when you’re in theme! 🚀 Rides & Attractions: Rise of the Resistance: HS’s most popular ride! Only one small drop at the end; the rest is all about immersion. BB-8 is so cute 🤖. Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run: Lucky enough to get the Pilot role! Two people team up—one controls up/down, the other left/right. Coordination helps, but crashing around is half the fun. (Pro tip: Bolt there at opening for a crowd-free pic of the Falcon! 🚀) Star Tours: A classic but updated! Group simulated flight with a goofy C-3PO—cheesy in the best way. Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway: Adorable family-friendly ride with trackless technology—whimsical and fun 🐭. Slinky Dog Dash: Lines were insanely long (and the sun was brutal 🌞). Save time—splurge on a pass if you must ride! Star Wars Launch Bay: Character meet-and-greets with Chewbacca, Darth Vader, and BB-8. Lines are short, and it’s super cool inside—tons of movie posters and props. Perfect for cooling off! 🎭 Shows: Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage: Semi-open theater with plenty of seats. Live singing, and the “furniture” characters are charming—worth a watch 🌹. Fantasmic!: Water/light show with seated viewing (bless!). Grab snacks and drinks—fireworks are minimal, but the water projections and pyrotechnics are stunning. A must-see 🔥. Wonderful World of Animation: Projections + fireworks on the Chinese Theatre facade, featuring Mickey & Minnie. Ends right after Fantasmic—catch a peek on your way out! ✨ Lightsaber Building at Savi’s Workshop: Book ahead! You can bring one person in to take pics/videos. Schedule it for evening if you don’t want to carry the saber all day (plus, night photos are dramatic). Choose from 4 hilt themes—you get a pin to wear. Add-ons like display stands or hooks are available too. 🍽️ Food Finds: Ronto Wrap (Star Wars area, morning): Tasty pita wrap—great for a quick bite. Retro round cola bottles: Cute, thematic, and perfect for photos 🥤. Docking Bay 7: Braised beef is delicious! Desserts and drinks? Just okay. Rose-shaped dessert (stall near Beauty and the Beast theater): Chocolate mousse inside—silky and not too sweet 🍫. BB-8 sippy cup: Available at popcorn stands. Tricky to carry—wait till later to buy! #DisneyWorld #OrlandoTravel #Orlando #HollywoodStudios #GalaxyEdge #Disney #DisneyPrincess #WinnieThePooh #OrlandoDisneyWorld #TravelTheWorld #DisneyMagicDaily
