food IS a theme park
One of the most high-demand parks in a reopened Disney World is Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Rise of the Resistance
We’re not super surprised that everyone is eager to get into Hollywood Studios. After all, with limited capacities, you might think it would be simpler than ever to get your chance to ride Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. We took a spin on this mega-high-demand attraction today and there have DEFINITELY been some changes. Take a look!
We’re back exploring Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at the reopening of Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Oga’s Cantina with Modified Seating
It’s not a trip to Batuu without a pit stop at Oga’s Cantina! Disney pre-warned us that the dining experience would be a little different than it was prior to closing and we got to see what that was all about today! [Read more…]
We’re back in Hollywood Studios today!
Rise of the Resistance at Hollywood Studios
Like everyone else who’s made their way to Hollywood Studios on its reopening day, we have one attraction that rises above the others on our priority list. Rise of the Resistance is still the highest-demand ride in Disney World. To help with the lines, Disney has implemented a Virtual Queue — and it’s a totally new system than it was before the closures!
Instead of there being one big window to get a spot in the queue, guests in Hollywood Studios have three chances — 10AM, 1PM, and 4PM. It used to be that you had two hours to return when your boarding group was called; now it’s only one hour and we MISSED our window! Here’s what happened!
We’re keeping you up to date everything happening at Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ reopening today! It’s been busy and we’ve noticed crowds backing up in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Pre-Closure
Long waits and crowds are nothing new for attractions like Rise of the Resistance. But, the backups we’re seeing aren’t ride-related!

Crowds
So far, we’ve shown you what the crowds have been like today and talked briefly about some of the wait times we were noticing. Now we’re going to share with you a more in-depth look at what the wait times have looked like in Disney’s Hollywood Studios so far today.
Greetings from Disney’s Hollywood Studios! The final two theme parks have officially reopened today which means all four Disney World parks are now open.
Hollywood Studios
We’ll be providing you with live coverage of Disney’s Hollywood Studios throughout the day, but right now we want to take a moment to show you what the crowds look like!
We’ve had a LOT of feelings about returning back to Disney World during the first round of reopenings this week.
Main Street, U.S.A.
Although we expected to see distancing measures and new places to spot characters, there were quite a few changes that Disney sprung on guests when they entered the parks. Whether you’re someone who really loves riding attractions or you’re all about the food, Disney World has really shaken things up when it comes to how the parks are working now.
We’re just a few short days away from the reopening of Disney’s Hollywood Studios on July 15th.
Rise of the Resistance
We know we’re not alone when we say we’re pretty excited to ride Rise of the Resistance in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge again. Initially, Disney had announced that the Virtual Queue would NOT be returning. However, Disney just announced that Rise of the Resistance WILL be using a MODIFIED Virtual Queue when Hollywood Studios reopens.
For guests making plans to visit Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge when Disney’s Hollywood Studios begins welcoming guests again on July 15th, we have a bit more info for your visit to Batuu.
Oga’s Cantina
Just a few days ago, we shared the news that Oga’s Cantina — the famous watering hole of Black Spire Outpost — will indeed be reopening on July 15th along with the park itself. [Read more…]
