Grogu's Day Out at Walt Disney World

Picture
Today's update was supposed to be covering Renee's visit to Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot. And we'll get to that. 

But I'm pulling Editors privilege today and I think you'll see why. 

Enjoy Grogu's day out at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Epcot.

Disney's Hollywood Studios Reopening Cast Member Preview

Picture
Hey there readers, Renee was back out at Walt Disney World today for the CM preview of Disney's Hollywood Studios. 

We should point out, this is a Cast Member preview. So your experience at the parks may not match what you see in the pictures below. 



​But I have to be honest, for the first time in almost 6 years of this website, I'm conflicted about posting a park update, and even if it's socially responsible at this point to do so. I'm 3000 miles away, our parks in CA won't be opening any time soon, and even if they did, I don't think I'd be visiting any of them as soon as they open. 

Just know, you may not see too many in-park updates from us until things start getting a bit better. We are definitely conflicted. 

- Gregg

Good morning from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Picture
Lines are long for temperature check but moving quickly.
Picture
Welcome back!
Picture
Everyone else must be headed to Batuu.
Picture
Picture
I’ve never seen Toy Story land this empty!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Social distancing plexiglass at Droid Depot.
Picture
Picture
Chewie, we’re home.
Picture
Picture
Lunch at Docking Bay 7. Like all restaurants, your mobile order has to be ready before entering the building.
Picture
20 minute wait posted for Smuggler’s Run. Some sections of the queue have caution tape instead of plexiglass.
Picture
Picture
The preshow is running. Socially distanced, of course.
Picture
No cards are given out for flight positions and you can’t freely wander while waiting to board.
Picture
No one taking photos at the table today. You then are verbally told your position and each party has their own ship.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Socially distant storm troopers.
Picture
Not sure if this will continue to be the procedure, but we made an in person reservation for Oga’s Cantina this morning and was given a return time a few hours later, which we’re currently in line for.
Picture
Actually got a table at Oga’s for the first time ever. And there’s so much space! This is wonderful. The server also reminded us that masks need to remain on till drinks arrive.
Picture
Picture
Just enjoying some refreshing Toniray wine at Oga’s.
Picture
Mickey! I kinda love seeing him cruising around Studios in a car.
Picture
Rise up!
Picture
Currently in line for Rise of the Resistance, with a 90 minute wait posted. People are respectful and hopefully it’ll move quickly.
Picture
Picture
RotR went down for quite some time so we bailed and hopped over to Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. Both RotR and MMRR have the longest wait times in the park. MMRR had some down time for cleaning, which is what we like to see!
Picture
No preshow and more plexiglass at Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway.
Picture
Picture
Picture
This ride is the cutest!
Picture
Picture
There she is! ​
Picture
Tower of Terror is walk on with no preshow running and only one side open. Still one of the best rides!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Empty Rock N Roller Coaster, no preshow, and plexiglass for days.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Back on Batuu to attempt RotR again.
Picture
The queue for Rise of the Resistance takes you indoors for a bit and then you’re next to the entrance of Muppet-Vision 3D!
Picture
Picture
Picture
So this is the extended queue for Rise of the Resistance.
Picture
Picture
I can’t wait to check out this new Star Wars ride.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Sadly Rise of the Resistance went down, so they finally dumped the queue and we didn’t get to ride. It was still great to spend some time at DHS today, and I wish them a safe and successful reopening this week.

Disneyland Resort Update - March 4, 2020

Picture
Today we have a rather large update from Disneyland and Disney California Adventure for you to feast your eyes on. During our visit last weekend we were kind of all over the place, which was a good thing. 

So this update has a bit of construction stuff, some Galaxy's Edge stuff, and some food and wine stuff (which we WILL get back to soon). Enjoy! 

Written by Gregg Condon
Me: My kids are grown, I avoided ever getting a mini van!
Disneyland: Hold our Moof Juice. 
Picture
Our first stop in the morning was to get the Indy pop. I have to be 100% honest, I didn't realize it was a big one. When we walked into Wunderland Gallery in Downtown Disney to get ours I was shocked, as you can see below. 
Picture
Picture
Before taking Indy back to the car for the day, had to take him around the park a bit. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
After getting our Rise boarding group (18 FTW) I had to actually leave to run an errand. We made it to Rise with 5 minutes to spare. 

I also had to try out my new iPhone 11 Pro, rather impressed with the results. Check out a Rise of the Resistance Slide Show below. 
Video of the amazing ROTR Pre-Show and "transport"
Jake and I also had some fun and did a reverse POV
The extensive rehab for The Haunted Mansion is continuing 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Apparently some of these scrims have come down since Saturday
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture

Over at DCA we took a quick look at the Food and Wine festival. Didn't try any treats, but we'll be back. 
Avengers Campus construction is continuing as well. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
As well as the admin building next to Luigi's. 
Picture
Picture
They're still claiming "Summer" for this to open. We'll see. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
There was some cone'struction going on in Cars Land
Picture
Picture
Picture

Back over at Disneyland, couldn't remember if we had a shot of this during our last update
Picture
And there was this thing. 
Picture
If you've followed our site for any length of time you'll know we are huge fans of single rider lines. That said, not sure it really works for Star Tours. I think our wait was pretty much the same as the stand-by line. 
Picture
No lie, I don't think I'd ridden "regular" Space Mountain since 2012. So yay!! 

​Wonder if they'll bring back the Dick Dale soundtrack for 90's night? That would be worth the admission alone. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
After saying goodbye to Jake (he had woof'ers to take care of) I went and did some other single rider things. Like Indy!! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Look into my eyes 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Mark Twain ... Maaaaark Twaaaiiiin
Picture
It was a beautiful late afternoon, so decided to do a POV of the Mark Twain
Boop
Picture
Sunset over Galaxy's Edge 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Did single rider on the Falcon. I had only done this once before, as a pilot. I will say, there is definitely a difference between being a pilot and an engineer. The ride itself was still a ton of fun, more a difference in the movement of the cockpit. 

​Another slideshow, because why not. :) 
What a piece of junk 
Picture
Picture
There was some kind of lightsaber meet in Galaxy's Edge. This was super cool. These photos aren't watermarked so if you participated and want to use any of them, feel free to do so. :) 
I had never noticed all of the hidden mickey's before
Picture
Over in Fantasyland, some work going on with the Carousel and Snow White
Picture
Picture
It's going to look amazing when it's done 
Picture
Picture
Goodnight sweet Disneyland. We'll be back soon!!
