The Plan: Rope Drop at Hollywood Studios is at 0830. Lightning Lane passes will take us to Star Tours; Mickey & Minnies Railway; Midway Mania and Rise of the Resistance. Lunch is at The Brown Derby. After R&R, my scooter will be returned at 1645, and we'll head up to The Top of The World.
ROUGH DRAFT At 6:20 it’s 76 and we’re headed for Hollywood Studios. We left the room at 7:30 and we’re on a packed bus at 8:04 headed for Hollywood Studios. Our first trip through Star Tours, we were met by a security droid then went to Baku. BB8 gave us coordinates, then underground and did the land battle, finally landing in Hollywood Studios. The attendant told us we don’t need to go all the way around; we can just come off, wait, and go back on again. We just can’t take two trips in a row. Our second trip was exactly the same as the first trip, except Mos Cannata gave us the coordinates in the middle. We then went to Mickey and Minnie‘s Runaway Railway where we had lightning lane passes, and walked right in. I videoed the five minute ride. At 10 o’clock Lyd bought me a "Directors Cut." (1650) from the Animation Arch beverage cart. We then used our lightning lane passes at Toy Story Midway Mania, where I finally bested Lydia's score, 91,900 to 83,700, which is highly unusual. We had an 1110 Lightning Lane for Rise of the Resistance, but the ride is down so we decided on the 1130 show of Frozen Sing-along instead, and went to the back row instead of the front row for this show. We then went to Brown Derby for lunch. Lydia has shrimp cocktail and I had hamachi. She followed it with the fruiti-de-Mer, and I had the beef short rib. I also had a Tito‘s and tonic and we split a bottle of Fess Parker Riesling. She finished with a slice of cheesecake. We returned to the room and napped from 1430 to 1600. At 1645, Buena Vista Rentals picked up the scooter. We watched TV in the evening, and, at 8:30, it’s 85.
