The Wonderful World of Disney

Day 4 and 5 – 10/10/2022 and 10/11/2022

The next two days we went to Disney World, Hollywood Studios. We were primarily interested in the Star Wars theme park called Galaxies Edge. So that is where our time was spent. Both days were very hot so we had to constantly work to stay hydrated. Water was extremely expensive. To buy a single bottle of water it cost $5.

Also just walking around throughout the Galaxies Edge area you often see two Storm Troopers. They typically go up to little children and say funny things to them such as “You are being inspected, please show us your ID”. It was so funny watching the expressions on kids faces.

Day 1:

The first day was when we had both workshops scheduled. We had Savi’s Workshop at 9:45am and the Droid Depot workshop at 4pm. These were our main goal for the day. We also used this day to buy gifts for anyone we were getting them for.

In Savi’s workshop we went into a cave and got to build our own custom lightsaber. We got to choose the kyber crystal for the color as well. We both felt that this was probably the most fun of our entire time at Galaxies Edge.

We had lunch today at a restaurant called Docking Bay 7. The food was good although, as expected, it was quite expensive.

We did get to go in and spend some time, and money, in Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities. This is where I bought the Darth Sideous legacy lightsaber, some extra kyber crystals and a couple holocrons, one sith and one Jedi.

Later in the day was the Droid Depot workshop and it was more like a normal workshop where we selected what kind of droid we wanted to build. Then we selected custom pieces. Once we had all that done we went to a station and they helped us assemble our droid and put in the personality chip to get it working.

The last thing we did this first day was to go get some of the Blue and Green milk. It’s just one of those things you have to do. It wasn’t actually milk but was more like a Slurpee. They were really good but we both liked the Blue Milk the best.

Day 2:

The second day we spend riding all the rides we wanted to. We concentrated only on the Star Wars rides. Today we ate lunch at Ronto Roasters. Their food was basically wraps and were really quite tasty. It was really neat as they had a podracer engine with a droid working it. He would say something such as “Turn, turn, turn, it’s what I love to do all day”. It was quite funny.

We started off with a ride called “Star Tours – The Adventures Continue“. This was quite fun as it felt as though we were flying through space on a big spaceship.

PXL_20221010_215815667~2

Next we did the “Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run” which is the ship that Hans Solo flew in the movies. This was also a simulator but was quite fun. They selected people in groups. Debby and I got to be the pilots. We basically guided the ship through the story. There were 2 engineers with us as well as 2 gunners. The wait in line was about an hour. Disney has restructured all their passes to skip lines and you can basically only get 1 per day. Unfortunately we didn’t know that and used it on the first ride which we didn’t even need. So we had to stand in line for the remaining two rides.

The final ride for the day was the “Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance“. This took us through the empire. We got to see Imperial troops and AT-AT’s. It also then went through a section where we were involved in a battle with lasers shooting and things flying around. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately the line for this ride was about 2 hours. It was grueling. By the time we got to the ride we were so exhausted of just standing that we were constantly looking for small places to sit just to give our legs and feet a short break.

Overall the rides were all quite fun but the huge crowds and long lines almost made it feel as though it was not worth it.
