Walt Disney World: Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT update - February 3, 2021

Last week Renée made her first visit to WDW in awhile and sent some great pics of the goings on at Disney's Hollywood Studios and EPCOT.

In addition, she had some amazing pics with Grogu, so if you missed Grogu's Day Out last week, be sure to check it out. You won't be disappointed.

Good morning from Disney’s Hollywood Studios! I haven’t been in this park since July, should be interesting!

And I haven’t been on RotR in over a year. Hopefully the ride is running smoothly today! It was my first time using the virtual queue from home.

Conquered Toy Story Land in less than an hour.

Kylo Ren and storm troopers looking down at guests in Galaxy’s Edge.

I love how WDW has recently stepped up their game with the vegetarian food options. Docking Bay 7 in Galaxy’s Edge has one of my favorites, the Felucian Kefta and hummus garden spread.

The character cavalcades are fun to see. The only thing that bugs me is as they approach, guests don’t care about distancing and get up right next to you at the last minute to see them.

The park feels busy-ish but wait times for most rides are posted at 30-45 minutes and don’t take that long. Love Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway!

Rise of the Resistance was perfect. I hope I don’t have to wait another year till I get to ride it again.

First time park hopping since last March, and also first time seeing these big guys.

Caught the Mickey and friends cavalcade.

I honestly didn’t know that the new area in France that recently opened is literally just bathrooms and bloggers looking through the wall.

It’s nice to see the arts represented once again for the fifth annual Festival of the Arts at Epcot. That animated little f**ker is back as the icon.

The Voices of Liberty are a must see when visiting Epcot. Great to see them on the big stage performing Disney songs for the Festival of the Arts.

I love the new storyline for Gran Fiesta Tour. Donald bails before their big show! Face with tears of joy

Also my first time seeing the fountain, which looks great. Epcot is still very much under construction but if it’s going to look as good as this when it’s done, I’ll take it.

Disney's Hollywood Studios Reopening Cast Member Preview

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.

Good morning from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

Lines are long for temperature check but moving quickly.

Welcome back!

Everyone else must be headed to Batuu.

I’ve never seen Toy Story land this empty!

Social distancing plexiglass at Droid Depot.

Chewie, we’re home.

Lunch at Docking Bay 7. Like all restaurants, your mobile order has to be ready before entering the building.

20 minute wait posted for Smuggler’s Run. Some sections of the queue have caution tape instead of plexiglass.

The preshow is running. Socially distanced, of course.

No cards are given out for flight positions and you can’t freely wander while waiting to board.

No one taking photos at the table today. You then are verbally told your position and each party has their own ship.

Socially distant storm troopers.

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.

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.

Just enjoying some refreshing Toniray wine at Oga’s.

Mickey! I kinda love seeing him cruising around Studios in a car.

Rise up!

Currently in line for Rise of the Resistance, with a 90 minute wait posted. People are respectful and hopefully it’ll move quickly.

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!

No preshow and more plexiglass at Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway.

This ride is the cutest!

There she is!

Tower of Terror is walk on with no preshow running and only one side open. Still one of the best rides!

Empty Rock N Roller Coaster, no preshow, and plexiglass for days.

Back on Batuu to attempt RotR again.

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!

So this is the extended queue for Rise of the Resistance.

I can’t wait to check out this new Star Wars ride.

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.
