Disney World 2023 -- Hollywood Studios

 EPCOT was a total hit with us and no doubt hard to top.  Hollywood Studios, though, gave it a run for its money -- especially thanks to the show stopping Star Wars experiences and rides.

Our hotel was right between EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, so our location was great.  We could walk to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios was also walkable, but a little longer (i.e. 20 minutes).  We also had the option of a pleasant boat ride, which we took, and which was perfect.

We're here!

Just walking around the Star Wars area of Hollywood Studios was an experience.  



It felt like being in the movies and shows!

Gloria has the Force.

Chad, Luke and Oliver.



Cool Young Jedis.  

We were trying to be on extra good behavior around this guy.

Time for our first official ride -- Star Wars Smuggler's Run.

Cool to be on the Millennium Falcon!





What a ride!

Oliver

We also did the Star Wars the Adventure continues, which was also fun.

Luke, Chad and an ATAT.

The big showstopper time arrived -- Rise of the Resistance! Time to use our Individual Lightening Lane tickets for the ride we've been waiting for!





We had no idea we'd get to see the inside of a First Order Star Destroyer!




The rest of the ride was something else!  What an experience!  Felt like we were in a Star Wars movie!  


The Star Wars part of HS was amazing!


Long Live the Resistance!

We caught the Beauty and the Beast show.

Then we took a break back at the hotel to recharge after all our morning victories.

Amy booked us a hot ticket:  Oga's Cantina, for a snack break.  Luke above.

A lot of rough folks here in the Outer Rim!  


Quite a day at Hollywood Studios!



We returned to the hotel this time by Air Gondola!


We ended the day with a nice swim at the Yacht Club.
