Home Spring Holiday at Disney World 2016

|≤ <<< Sunday, March 6, 2016 >>> ≥| Background

At 0629, it's 60. We left the room about 0845 and took a bus to Hollywood Studios. We walked back to Star Tours, and the wait seemed longer than the 10 minutes on the standby entrance sign. We were accosted by Darth Vader upon departure and then jumped in lightspeed to the planet Jakku where we flew among the ruined spaceships sought by the scavengers. We were given orders by BB-8 and then jumped, again, into a fight of Naboo ships trying to down the droid control ship in orbit. We were hit and crashed into the waters of Naboo and into the Gungan City. We were guided through the planet core, but attacked by sea creatures. We surfaced and flew into a hanger where the nose of a Naboo fighter smashed our front window (a nice 3D effect). We then walked over to use FastPasses for The Great Movie Ride, now sponsored by Turner Classic Movies. The ride is unchanged except most of the narration is by Robert Osborne of TCM, and the clips at the end of the ride have had substantial changes. We walked back to Star Tours and used our FastPasses for a 2nd ride of the day. It followed the same itinerary except, at the end. A droid threw paint all over the front window. We walked in to Muppet 3D and only waited 5 minutes for the show. It's still the same entertaining 3D show, except, inexplicably, only Waldorf was in the balcony, though Statler's voice was there. We walked down Pixar Street and back to the Brown Derby, for lunch. We had fastpasses for the Frozen Sing Along, but lunch ran too long for that so we returned to the room and naps. At 0650, we presented ourselves at the 2nd floor podium and were whisked up to the 15th floor and the California Grill. After dinner we said our goodbyes and went back to the room in time to enjoy wishes, with audio on the room TV-105. At 2155, we were down for the night, with the glass door open to Central Florida.
