Hey there, thrill-seekers and Disney aficionados! Welcome to our whirlwind escapade through the movie magic wonderland of Disney's Hollywood Studios! Today's mission? To blitz through this park like a team of superheroes on a mission to save the day! So, strap in, folks, 'cause it's going to be one heck of a ride!
Our epic journey kicks off bright and early with a crucial decision: do we zoom straight to the far reaches of the galaxy in Galaxy's Edge, or do we shrink down to toy size and get lost in the whimsical world of Toy Story Land? Decisions, decisions... Let's go with the gut and blast off to Batuu!
(Seeing all of a park in a single day calls for a lot of Starbucks!)
As we speed past the iconic Chinese Theater and Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railroad (Don't worry, "nothing can stop us now" from getting back to you!), the spires of Batuu loom on the horizon like something out of a sci-fi dream. And there it is, the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy – the Millennium Falcon! With our trusty Disney Genie+ pass in hand, we bypass the queues faster than Han Solo outruns a swarm of TIE fighters and hop aboard Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run for a smuggling mission of our own. From dodging blaster fire to pulling off crazy maneuvers, piloting the Falcon is a bucket-list experience for any Star Wars fan!

No trip to Batuu would be complete without a daring escape aboard Rise of the Resistance – the most ambitious and immersive attraction in Disney history! As we join the Resistance and face off against the sinister First Order, we find ourselves thrust into the heart of a galactic conflict unlike anything we've ever experienced. With stunning special effects, jaw-dropping set pieces, and heart-pounding action around every corner, Rise of the Resistance is a must-see for every Jedi, Sith, and droid enthusiast alike! (or a mediocre fan who enjoys a good attraction when I see one🙋🏻♀️)

But wait, there's more! After our pulse-pounding adventure in a galaxy far, far away, it's time to shrink down and play big in Toy Story Land! As we enter this colorful playground, we're greeted by oversized toys, larger-than-life games, and the friendliest bunch of playthings you'll ever meet. First stop: Slinky Dog Dash! Picture this – you're riding on the back of Slinky Dog himself, zipping and zooming through twists, turns, and drops that'll leave your stomach in knots (in the best way possible, of course). It's pure, unadulterated fun that'll have you grinning from ear to ear!

And let's not forget about Toy Story Mania, the ultimate test of speed, accuracy, and carnival game prowess! Grab your 3D glasses, pick up your spring-action shooter, and get ready to blast your way through a series of wacky, wild mini-games hosted by your favorite Toy Story pals. Trust me, you'll be addicted from the first shot! (Warning: this attraction will cause familial strife! LOL)

Now, as the day marches on and the Florida sun starts to sizzle, it's time to consult our handy-dandy Disney Genie+ app and plot our next move. Showtimes are crucial, folks, so make sure to catch the my favorite musical must dos at Hollywood Studios, For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration and Beauty and the Beast - Live on stage. Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular offers a live look behind the scenes of some of the biggest stunts in Hollywood and Muppet Vision 3D is a can't miss family favorite.
As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, we find ourselves strolling down Sunset Boulevard, where the glitz and glamour of old Hollywood beckon. We snap a selfie in front of the iconic Hollywood Tower Hotel (it's a must!), before we enter the Twilight Zone and tackle Tower of Terror then make a beeline for the pièce de résistance: Fantasmic!

As the lights dim and the music swells, we're treated to a spectacular show unlike anything else in the world. From Mickey's epic battle against the forces of evil to the dazzling fireworks and water effects, Fantasmic is a feast for the senses that'll leave you breathless and begging for more! This is the best night time show in all of Disney. You can't convince me otherwise. I literally cry every time I see it!

And there you have it, fellow adventurers – a whirlwind tour through the magic and mayhem of Disney's Hollywood Studios in just one day! Remember this: pay attention to showtimes, make use of Disney Genie+ to skip the lines, and above all, be prepared to watch the ultimate Hollywood Studios spectacle --watching middle-aged men sprinting to Galaxy's Edge at rope drop.
Trust me, it's an experience you won't soon forget!
