May the Force Be With Us: A Family Trip Report Summer 2021

We’re so happy we rope dropped! Finished everything we wanted to in the morning with minimal wait.

We were off RotR within 30 min of entering the line.

I like how all the people in front of you in that picture are all looking down at their phones instead of taking in the magnificence of the attraction.

Gotta remember to do that. :slight_smile:

Me and a couple kids are watching the Vacation Fun short while we wait for Rise RS.

@Randall1028 Regarding RotR:

Spoilers

Apparently I have ridden on both tracks at the part with the AT-ATs. I didn’t notice the difference but DBIL did. Yesterday I rode your preferred way and today I did the other way. I can see why facing head on would be cooler.

Also, the cannon did kickback a couple of times while firing this time, I’m 100% sure if it. It was awesome.

That is my favourite as well.

I keep hearing rumours that they may want to change the theme of the ride. I hope that is not true. Love the Twilight Zone spin.

The front view is great. The first couple of times I rode, I did not even notice the Finn Animatronic.

If I recall correctly, if all cannons are working, they are all recoiling an your vehicle is doing its best to dodge them. It is like the you are in the middle of a video game and trying to avoid being hit.

I have always loved ToT, but after riding Guardians in DCA …I have to give that a nod over ToT.

I love the Guardians ride, but it does make me a tad more motion sick. And the part where your ride vehicle exits the shaft makes the Florida version cooler.

I have to say, I know why they do it, but skipping the preshow is a real bummer. It really sets the mood. And at the very end of the ride, Rod Serling is on the screen as you back out of the shaft, and a woman behind me seriously asked, “Isn’t that the guy from The Twilight Zone?” :joy::man_facepalming:t2:

I’m riding for my second time now using Rider Swap. DBIL didn’t want to ride and DW only wanted to ride once so DSIL and I are just riding twice. First time wait was only 26 min. Kids saw Lightning McQueen - I’ll have to ask them how it was.

Now I’m riding for my third time! I’m using DBIL’s rider swap pass. Basically no wait - walked all the way to my elevator.

Fantastic!!! Glad you got to do both tracks.

Sorry, currently out and about right now and haven’t been able to keep close updates on your trip.

Heh or a Galaxy Quest bit. :rofl:

Thank you for the blurring the spoilers again.

Looking forward to experiencing both it and TSL with my boys, all of us for the first time.

Last time at WDW TSL just about to open, and last time at DLR, RotR was also just about to open. Missed them both by about 2 weeks. This Winter will be about doing ALL the things.

Caught a Pixar cavalcade on our way out of the park. The kids were so excited to get a Moana themed gondola at the Skyliner.

During our last trip in July of 2018 my teenagers were SO excited to see Edna that we followed her around Tomorrowland …on two separate days!

Current Covid seating configuration in ToT:

They are currently boarding all rows on both sides. Only one party per half row, unless you can fit an empty seat between two parties (typically 2 + empty seat + single rider). The back row only has plexiglass between the two halves of the row. The remaining rows have an aisle so no plexiglass needed.
