Some Star Wars themed hacks from our most recent trip to Disney's Hollywood Studios, on this very special day! #MayTheFourthBeWithYou

 

It's still a few years before Star Wars Land will open at Disney's Hollywood Studios, but that doesn't mean you can't have a load of Star Wars themed fun now!

Here are a few of my favorite hacks!

 

Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/entertainment/hollywood-studios/star-wars-jedi-training/

Watch younglings train in the ways of the Force and put their skills to the test against the Dark Sides greatest villains!

 

Hacks:

- Get there EARLY! I cannot stress that enough

- You MUST have your kid with you to get them signed up

- Return for your show with plenty of time for your kid to get checked in and receive their instructions

- This will also determine which of the villains your kid will battle during the show

- Don't plan your FastPass+ too close to the showtime

- Because this is an outdoor show, it is subject to cancellation due to inclement weather

- Make sure you get a PhotoPass card from one of the photographers next to the stage

- That being said, get a good spot to take your own pictures/video

- Assess your kid and see if they are possibly too old or nervous in front of a crowd

- Getting a Star Tours FP+? Get it for the end of the show since you're going to be there anyway

 

Star Wars: Path of the Jedi: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/attractions/hollywood-studios/path-of-the-jedi-film/

A 10-minute film retelling the blockbuster Star Wars saga 

 

Hacks:

- A great place for anyone in your party who is not comfortable riding a motion simulator like Star Tours to wait

- Also a good place to get out of the elements if it's too hot or raining. 

 

 

Star Wars Launch Bay: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/attractions/hollywood-studios/star-wars-launch-bay/

Check out movie props from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, play games, snap photos, screen videos, and greet heroes and villains.

 

Hacks:

- Plan to spend some time there, especially if there's a Star Wars fan in your group

- Guests with PhotoPass will get the most out of this experience

- Meet Chewie, Kylo Ren and BB-8 (NEW)

- Bring something to trade with a Jawa (I hear they like shiny objects, like Tamatoa)

- Bring a Fiver ($5) for the penny smasher located just outside the gift shop (No pennies required)

- If a Storm Trooper asks you to go with him, do it! (You can thank me later)

 

Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/entertainment/hollywood-studios/star-wars-galactic-spectacular/

 

Hacks: 

- Position yourself in front of or between the projector towers (Follow these guidelines by WDW Prep School: http://wdwprepschool.com/the-best-nighttime-show-and-fireworks-viewing-spots-at-disney-world/)

- Use the restroom before the show

- Have someone in your group grab a spot while you take the kids on one more ride 

- If you're going to hold your kid, put them on your hip and NOT on your shoulders

- Get a snack to enjoy while you wait for the show to start
