Posted April 3, 2021 Paula BrownPosted in Disney's Hollywood Studios, Ten Second Tips

If you hope to get into a Boarding Group for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, you must have a Disney Park Pass Reservation for Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Park Hopping makes no difference. You don’t have to be physically in the park to try for the 7:00am time, but you do need to be in […]

New Foods at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Posted March 18, 2021 Paula BrownPosted in Disney's Hollywood Studios, WDW Blog

Disney’s Hollywood Studios has always been my favorite of the four Walt Disney World theme parks, and this was true long before Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. It’s the place that feels the most like home to me. Galaxy’s Edge and Toy Story Land just make me love the park even more. Since Walt Disney World […]

Posted March 4, 2021 Paula BrownPosted in Disney's Hollywood Studios, WDW Blog

It’s hard to believe that one year ago today (March 4) Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway opened! The first Mickey and Minnie based ride on the planet was the final piece in the Disney’s Hollywood Studios puzzle. I miss The Great Movie Ride as much as the next person, but I really love this ride.

If you’ve been to Oga’s Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, you probably enjoyed the tunes that DJ Rex (R-3X) was spinning. Rex crash landed on Batuu, probably sometime after he was marked “defective” as a Star Tours pilot. You can see his crash site on the Toy Story Land side of Galaxy’s Edge. This […]

Here’s a fun bit of trivia about the trash cans on Batuu. You might notice a number on them. They all say “3263827”. That number isn’t random, it’s the number of the trash compactor that the heroes end up in during Star Wars: A New Hope. There’s one other special bit of trivia about that […]

Posted January 16, 2021 Paula BrownPosted in Disney's Hollywood Studios, WDW Blog

You hear a lot about Hidden Mickeys at Walt Disney World. Sometimes you might also find a Hidden Minnie, Donald, or other characters. Did you know that there’s a Hidden Millennium Falcon in Galaxy’s Edge? I’ve heard that it’s only on Batuu East, but I’m not 100 percent sure about that so don’t quote me. […]

If you want to be a rookie racer with Lightning McQueen, check the hours. Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy often closes before the rest of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This includes the area around it. My family and I recently found this out the hard way…

Ten Second Tip: Is Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Closed?

Posted January 6, 2021January 5, 2021 Paula BrownPosted in Disney's Hollywood Studios, Ten Second Tips

As I write this, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster has been down for several days. That has led to many rumors of what exactly is going on. The ride is not permanently closing, and it is not under refurbishment. Disney has not officially said what is going on, most likely there is a part that they […]

Ten Second Tip: An Early Boarding Group Warning

As I’ve told you before, you no longer need to be inside Disney’s Hollywood Studios to grab a spot in a Boarding Group for Rise of the Resistance. The first chance of the day opens at 7:00 each morning, well before the park opens. There’s something that I noticed the last time that I rode. […]
