IanHi all! Welcome to another blog of my adventures; today was Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It was an OK day, but I was a little disappointed with the park. It seems to be one of the smaller parks Disney has and didn’t seem very well managed. Nonetheless, I enjoyed what time I did spend there. This is going to be a short blog today, as I didn’t do much.
My first ride was Star Tours – The Adventures Continue, a Star Wars ride taking you around the galaxy showing key points in the Star Wars series; it was pretty fun!
Next up was Muppet Vision 3D, a 3D movie including the Muppets; this was a fun and enjoyable show with good 3D and 4D effects, like water splashes and heat. It was fun!
After the show, I headed to Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, which is a cool ride where out of the 6 of you riding, you all had certain things to do during the flight, like press the button at the right time and so on. Reminds me of Mission: Space at EPCOT. It was an engaging ride and fun for everyone!
Following that, I went to see the Indiana Jones: Epic Stunt Spectacular. This show explains how they do the stunts and gives you a glimpse behind the scenes of movies; I thought it was exciting and fun at the same time!
The final ride of the day, which has got to be the most frustrating I have felt with Disney, was Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. This was a fantastic ride despite waiting nearly 2 hours to get on it!! This ride takes you on a whistle-stop tour of Mickey’s adventures; you get “detached” from the train and go around the world of Mickey Mouse; this was really fun, apart from someone on my row decided to ram down the bar for the ride squishing me…
To read my rant head here, I won’t force it on you!
After my frustrating experience, it was time for lunch, so I went to one of the eateries and ordered some food. Today was similar to yesterday, a burger with BBQ pulled pork, a drink and a whoopie cookie which was nice!
At this point, the other rides I wanted to go on still had very long waits, like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, which was a 3-hour wait, slinky dog was a 2-hour wait and tower to terror was also a 2-hour wait. I did not have the patience to wait those long hours. I am not sure why it was so busy today! Anyway, I called it quits and headed back to the hotel early. Tonight will probably be a chilled night to recover from my last three trips; it’s been exhausting but fun! Tomorrow is my final Disney Park, which is Animal Kingdom; here’s hoping I will have a better experience tomorrow!! See you later!
