Because the first day at Hollywood we didn't make it to the Star Wars portion, we booked it there at the beginning. Ok, also, there was a new ride "Rise of the Resistance" that you had to enter a chance to ride....and there were only 2 times each day you could enter....and 0 out of 4 times....we never got to go. It was a big bummer! Luckily our kids really haven't gotten into Star Wars so they didn't understand what they were missing. I will admit, the way they made it seem like we were right there on the planets. It was so cool!! Again one of the few times Joseph asked me to take his picture.
We did get to ride Millennial Falcon Smuggler's Run, which simulated us actually flying the space ship. It was pretty fun. We did that twice. The kids really enjoyed it.
"Take Control of the Fastest Ship in the Galaxy
Ride in the famous cockpit of the Millennium Falcon on a daring flight—and whether you’re a pilot, engineer or gunner, every role is crucial.
The engines rumble as the Millennium Falcon blasts off, pushing you and your crew back into your seats when you jump into hyperspace towards adventure. Along the way you’ll face danger at every turn.
Will your mission succeed or fail? It’s up to you—find out if you have what it takes to outmaneuver the odds aboard the Millennium Falcon.
Get ready to punch it!"
We also rode Star Tours twice. The second time when Darth Vader "boarded" the ship and was searching for a member of the resistance. He pulled up a picture of the traitor and it was Joseph!! It was so cool!
"Explore a Galaxy Far, Far Away
Board your Starspeeder 1000 and prepare for take off! When a series of mishaps unwittingly causes your starship to launch too soon, protocol droid C-3PO takes the controls.
Suddenly, the ship is intercepted by Imperial—or First Order—forces searching for a Rebel spy. To avoid capture, you’ll embark on a thrilling, unpredictable flight that rockets you to the farthest reaches of the galaxy.
Featuring a flight simulator, digital 3D video, Audio-Animatronics characters and “in-cockpit” special effects and music, this attraction immerses you in the Star Wars mythology for an unforgettable intergalactic adventure.
Will your starspeeder elude capture and make it back to the base? May the Force be with you—always.
Featuring Favorite Star Wars Characters
Always a New Adventure
Find yourself in a unique story again and again—including one inspired by Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
Anytime you ride, you might fly into the middle of a furious battle on Crait, dodge blaster fire from TIE fighters on Jakku, swoop into the dreaded Death Star or dive deep under the oceans of Naboo.
Plus, to celebrate Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Star Tours now features an all-new destination from the movie—the ocean moon of Kef Bir.”
Because the many story twists are random, you never know where you’ll go or who you may encounter along the way! "
Your adventure may take you face-to-face with First Order villain Kylo Ren, menacing bounty hunter Boba Fett, ace pilot Poe Dameron, Princess Leia or Jedi Master Yoda—plus many more.
We decided to eat there, which was pretty fun. It essentially was a polish sausage with sauerkraut on a pita. But it was cool with the atmosphere. And it was nice to have shelter while it poured rain.
As we walked through the town, Kilo Ren and Storm Troopers were out recruiting "volunteers". It was fun to hear them improvised interaction with the crowds. Joseph and Addie were so worried they were going to be recruited.
We also saw Ray and Chewbacca patrolling along the parameters:
One of the few times we saw a Parade of the characters:
Addie was really excited about Minnie Mouse and liked how Minnie pointed to her shirt.
And Joseph was very excited to see Buzz riding a Buzz car.
We ended the day by riding the Tower of Terror, and Rock 'n Rollercoaster.
