10/7 – DHS. CL 8 (this was a CL 7 until yesterday) During planning, this is the only park we gave one day to. We mainly just want to do the Star Wars stuff. We’re a big nerd family. I had a consult with DH to decide between Fantasmic and the Star Wars: Galactic Spectacular and to decide whether or not to do the dessert party. Star Wars Dessert Party it is! We’re so dang fancy. We’ve got pins to trade with Jawas, so we hope to see some (I’ve heard the Jawas may be gone now, so we’ll see).
When I first planned our days, I wasn’t sure we’d be able to fill a day. I didn’t think TSL would have much of interest to us. I was picturing a baby roller coaster and some kiddie rides. Then I saw the cool videos of SDD and TSM, so, we have a full day planned. I couldn’t get a FPP for SDD, but expected that. It’s the only FPP I wanted and didn’t get. I kept trying, but never was able to get it. Our TP had us arriving at 10 and going to SDD first, but I was able to snag a 9 a.m. FP for TSM, so I’d adjusted our plan to a 9:45 am arrival. With DH’s back issues yesterday, he said he thought he needed more rest this morning. He said we could go on without him if we didn’t want to wait, but we’d rather go as a family. We’ll play it by ear this morning, but may have to cancel a few morning activities today. Luckily, DHS seems like a good park to do that in. We’ve got Path of the Jedi and Walt Disney presents scheduled for the morning, for example and a couple of free hours booked. All of our other FPP are after noon. Sooo, we’ll see what time DH gets going this morning and how he’s feeling. I WAS kind of hoping the Disney excitement got my guys up early for Toyland, but that doesn’t seem likely. I’d like to see Toyland at night, but that probably won’t pan out and I’m prepared for that.
I expect this park will likely be our most problematic for a couple of reasons. It’s the only park we are only at for one day. My motion sickness and DH’s back issues will be tested the most here. For DH, he’s currently planning on skipping RNRC and likely TOT. For me, I have concerns about both of those AND Star Tours.
I vaguely remember the DL Star Tours I rode in the 1990’s or 80’s. I liked it. That was before my motion sickness went up several notches. I’m currently leaning towards giving it a shot. As long as I don’t throw up ON other people during the ride, I’ll chalk it up to a learning experience. I have motion sickness patches, so we’ll get to test those out too. I may also have to take one for the team and ride RNRC if DSS doesn’t want to go alone. We have FPP for RNRC, TOT and TSM. I’m happy that we will end on a high note with the Dessert Party no matter what happens. Disney's Hollywood Studios - Day 1
