Hollywood Studios and the Rise of the Resistance

Here is our confirmation of the Rise of the Resistance ride that I told you about in an earlier post!
Our Star Wars experience at Hollywood Studios made for one fun day!
We explored the park, wandering around and seeing all of the fun things to be seen!
I absolutely LOVED the Toy Story ride, which reminded me of the Buzz Lightyear ride at Disneyworld, but was about 100% more fun!!!
But by far, the Rise of the Resistance ride was hands down the favorite.
All of the effects that were in place even through the line, made it feel like you were actually experiencing Star Wars the entire time, which made the line to actually get on the ride not only enjoyable, but also made the time seem to fly by!
Soooo many cool things to see, especially when Ray appeared in a hologram while we were waiting to get on the ride!
The storm troopers were spot on, and it felt very "intimidating" to be by them...
...especially as the employees and everyone involved, played their roles, and actually made us feel like we were being taken prisoners!
I snapped a couple of pictures while we were actually on the ride, just for my own mind to be able to remember what I saw...
...but pictures, never in a million years can do it justice according to what we saw, heard, and felt.
Trust me when I say, it was AMAZING!
We took lots of pictures and enjoyed taking in all of the sights and sounds that we were experiencing...
...and the TASTES! :)
The Coke a cola obviously tasted even better in these little droid bottles because we were drinking them in the land of Star Wars, right?? ;)
I'm always in wonder and awe of what people are talented enough to think up and then actually do, when I see cool places like these.
And then my mind wanders to all of God's children here on the earth experiencing their own mortal journey...
What things are each of us capable of, and do we believe in ourselves enough to reach those lofty heights of what we really could do if we just put our minds to it??
Being with Clint's family was really a lot of fun. They are all fun people with personalities just like Clint!
Always cracking jokes and wanting to have fun together. We had a blast. :)
And although this was a "senior trip" for these older cousins, I thought it was very cool that Clint's parents wanted to be there too. What fun grandparents my kids are lucky to have!
We did venture out of the land of Star Wars and went on the Tower of Terror, and the Aerosmith Roller Coaster!
And if you can't tell from the wide eyed look of horror on my face, this roller coaster TERRIFIED me!!!
It was so fast, freaky, and totally fun!!!
We ventured down the streets of Hollywood, and even tried some of their yummy treats!
Dallin was so sweet and attentive to me the whole time too! (Which made me feel so happy, like he was grateful that we got to do all of this TOGETHER.
And believe it or not, we ended up back in the land of Star Wars.
Yes, because it was just that cool. :)
We tried the blue and green "milk" which was basically like a smoothie...
...and then we took some pictures...
...and some more pictures...
...and even more pictures!!! :)
But we seriously had a wonderful time, and all of our days on this trip were just cram packed with F. U.N.
I also felt like the luckiest person there because I got to have Dallin as my buddy!
Don't get me wrong, everyone else is super fun, but none are as cool as Dallin!
We ended the night with more Star Wars rides, and some awesome cousin time.
As the night closed in, we left with a ton of happy memories in our pockets, and I was grateful for the experience with Dallin!
And also super grateful that these storm troopers that we got off the elevator to see were not actually going to hold us prisoners!
Clint and the kids would have been so sad if we were to never come home!
