Home Fall Holiday at Disney World 2016

Background
At 0713, it's 67 at Walt Disney World. At 0830, we walked down to the bus zone to catch a ride to Hollywood Studios. The crowd was sufficiently large that we couldn't get on the first bus and had to wait for the second. Upon entering the park, we walked straight back to Star Tours, passing the 5 minute wait sign. On this trip, we were accosted by Darth Vader and then traveled to the planet Jakku. We encountered BB8 who sent us to the Gungin City under the sea on Naboo. We quickly reentered the line that still said 5 minutes and deduced that the sign was wrong and reentered using our FastPasses. On this trip, we were again delayed by Darth Vader, and again visited Jakku. This trip, after encountering BB8, we were sent to Corescant and attacked by buzz droids before landing. Exiting the ride, we saw the wait time was now posted at 50 minutes, ending our Star Tours adventures for the day. We tried the Path of the Jedi 12 minute movie, but it was a collage of Star Wars film clips loosely telling the whole Star Wars story. We walked over to the Launch Bay Theatre, but it was basically a trailer for Rogue One, not yet released. From there, we took in Toy Story's Midway Mania. Though I led for most of the ride, Lew beat me ~100,000 to ~91,000. We tried a little shopping, but nothing "talked" to us, so we headed for Mama Melrose's for lunch. Passing Star Tours, we noted the wait time now at 90 minutes. After lunch we returned to the bus zone and back to the room for naps. At 1830, we headed back out to Kona Cafe in the Polynesian Hotel. We took the monorail back to the hotel and spent a little time shopping at Bayview Gifts before returning to the room. Lew was in bed by 2145, and Wishes Fireworks at 2200 did not disturb her.
