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.
