Good morning Hollywood Stars! Today we’re at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to see what’s going on amid the excitement of Rise of the Resistance’s new boarding group procedures and Christmas week crowds. Let’s get going!
First we made our way over to Galaxy’s Edge to see what all was going on. Boarding passes were officially gone by 9:00am, and the ride started boarding around 9:45am.
While guests were waiting anxiously for their Rise of the Resistance boarding groups, Star Tours had a 5 minute wait.
We popped into the Droid Depot and were surprised by an R2-D2 appearance!
By 9:05am the wait for Alien Swirling Saucers was at a whopping 45 minutes.
We saw this cute little block in Toy Story Land with a nod to Punzie and the Corona sun!
Despite all of the excitement, all guests and Cast Members around Rise of the Resistance were surprisingly calm. The area was not crowded at all.
Kermit is watching you.
Santa getting in some toy delivering practice before the big day.
Jedi Stitch might be the most precious Stitch of them all. Just look at his sweet little face!
Over at the pressed penny machine by Backlot Express we noticed that they have a Silvermist penny. Silvermist is a character from the Pixie Hollow movie series all about fairy life in Neverland. It seems kind of odd to have her here.
Then in the Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost we saw a penny machine with Rosetta, also from Pixie Hollow. How strange.
In front of the Chinese Theatre on the Galaxy Far, Far Away stage screens, a text poll was up asking guests if they’d rather ride a fathier or pilot a ski speeder. Ski speeder was definitely winning.
On our way out we noticed a few A-frame boards notifying guests that all boarding passes had been distributed for the day.
There was even a sign in the parking lot.
