Got boarding group 49 this morning at 7 AM. Walked into Hollywood studios at 8:01AM. This is the line after walking straight to Tower of terror. Not too shabby.
The line to rock’n roller coaster is to the left. It is probably twice as long. We plan to ride that after tower of terror. We will see how that works out. Update. They opened both rides at 8:30 AM on the dot. Walked on TOT and now in the line for rockin roller coaster at 8:44 AM. Off the ride at 9:12 AM
Got in line for Smugglers run at 9:25 AM. Posted 60 minutes, now 90, now 115. We have been in line for 40 minutes now and made it to the main standby entrance. The CM said it is roughly 30 minutes from this point. Line definitely keeps moving. We ended up waiting 90 minutes. I asked the single rider line how long they waited and it was only 20 minutes. LOVED Smugglers Run. My daughters were the pilots and I swear they were trying to kill us all.
We have Hollywood Brown Derby reserved for lunch. We all plan to try the Cobb salad. Update: We all ordered the Cobb salad and all enjoyed it. (Although my son could probably take it or leave it). The restaurant looked about 2/3 full. Very nice guest service.
Took the boat back to our resort for an afternoon nap around 1pm. Back up and about at 3 PM now, and Rise is back up and running and our boarding group 49 looks to be ready in about 35 minutes. Will probably take the boat again. Standing in lines does take a toll on your feet. I am fit and I’m still a little leery how this will play out over the next 10 days. Heading back to HS in a few minutes! Beautiful sunny and hot here.
Update: Got in line for rise at 4:05 PM, and got on the attraction in 20 minutes. All I can say is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !! Major props to all those involved with creating such an imaginative and awesome attraction!
5:05pm Toy story mania, Posted wait time of 45 minutes. Waited in line 30 minutes.
6pm Window, Mobile ordered Ronto Wraps and Batuuan Beef, and an Outpost Puff. All excellent. Order was ready under 5 minutes once I said that we “are here”. The heavens opened while we were eating so we stuck around and ordered a dessert rather than walking around and getting wet.
We have Oga’s reserved near park close (7:50) tonight. Will report back. Update: you can check in for reservations 20 minutes early. That is what we did for Oga’s. Honestly, not really sure what all the hype is about. The drinks were unique and cool and the interior was interesting but wasn’t really feeling impressed with it especially for how difficult it is to get a reservation. Our drinks were a Carbon Freeze, a hyperdrive and a Jabba Juice. The carbon freeze was cool because it had the contents jumping all around inside the glass. (Drinks on the ends of the photo)
Update: Did not spend very long at Oga’s, and booked it over to Tower of terror. Got in one minute before closing. We were literally the last 5 people on the ride. Posted wait time was 30 minutes and we were on the ride in 10
Overall a productive day, despite the long lines, especially Smugglers run.

Extra bonus: Could not be happier with the room we were able to get at the boardwalk villas. This was the view from our balcony this morning just after getting our boarding group at 7 AM
Extra extra bonus: I guess we are sadistic because we decided to park hop over to Epcot still so we could do Soarin. Posted wait time at 9:25pm is 30 minutes, we were on in 5.
Grabbed an Impossible Slider on the way out because my son was hungry.
