Here now: great day at Hollywood Studios yesterday

We flew in on the red eye from Seattle and managed to get through the gates by 9:30. My oldest really wanted to do Jedi Training because she loved it at Disneyland and I promised her we’d try. We had to wait about 30 minutes but there were still lots of spots left.

I rode Tower of Terror while the rest of the group watched Disney jr. We also watched the Frozen singalong, Beauty and the Beast and Indiana Jones, and of course Jedi Training. We rode Toy Story with fastpasses. Cute ride, wish the lines didn’t get so long for it. We were able to catch all three of Jingle Bell Jingle Bam, Fantasmic and the Star Wars fireworks and we met BB8 and Kylo Ren. The crowds got pretty heavy mid afternoon but it was never so bad you couldn’t move and it cleared out a lot after the first fireworks. The only thing we’d wanted to do and didn’t was Star Tours. Not bad for the day before New Years Eve.

No...not bad at all. Sounds like you all are having a blast. Wish I was there!

It was the perfect choice for a high crowd day. I have little kids so thrill rides aren’t our thing but we love shows. We headed to the Tampa are now for a week with family and we’ll be back again on Saturday. I’m so happy my oldest could do Jedi Training. She had a huge smile the whole time.

Sounds like a great day! I love HS. It has the best vibe, in my opinion.

Safe travels and check back with us after your return, please!

I love DHS, too!
It gets such a bad wrap.

I kind of get it. If you’ve see. The shows and don’t want to repeat them there’s not a ton there compared to the other parks but we’d never really been to HS at all and I really wanted to before it gets crazy after Toy Story Land and Star Wars. The original plan had been to do MK but we decided we should do something a bit less intense after a red-eye.
