We arrived to Walt Disney World's Hollywood Studios at 8:30 a.m., but I would have been happy to get there even earlier! We started with two Star Wars rides -- Rise of the Resistance and Smuggler's Run. After that, there's not much to say except we rode every ride and saw every show exactly once.
Not a disappointment exactly, but I was hoping to ride at least a few of our favorites again. A surprise favorite of mine and Edith's was Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railroad -- not a thrill ride by any means, but very cute. We all like Slinky Dog Dash (in fact, we ended the night there), and Paul and Atticus both rank Rock 'n' Roller Coaster among their top. The kids don't care for Tower of Terror, but at least they agreed to ride it once!
The weather was hot, and the park was certainly crowded. I'm glad we fit everything in, but it's hard not to compare it to our last WDW and Disneyland trips, when we fit in multiple faves and (at WDW) had free Fastpasses to speed up at least a few rides. The slow standby lines at several rides scattered among the parks were the biggest disappointments of the trip.
We did encounter a little rain on this day, but luckily it fell while we were in or heading to shows. Lightning cut the Indiana Jones show short, but that was the biggest casualty. A successful day overall.
