5/21 Star Tours Meet-Up and Dedication, With Extended Star Tours Queue Coverage!

Hi everyone!

It's been a whirlwind couple of days!  We enjoyed the Star Tours Meet-Up at midnight on May 20th, being among the first to ride Star Tours: The Adventure Continues on the Grand Opening day (we had ridden twice earlier in the week).

We drove to Blizzard Beach for the Star Tours Meet-Up, registering and waiting on the bus for about 45 minutes before we left for Disney's Hollywood Studios:

 

 

Jeff won a Disney Parks Blog pin by answering a trivia question right before we boarded the bus:

 

 

The red carpet from an earlier evening event was out, along with other themed elements:

Oopla was looking for someone who looked like a Wookie, and it seems Jeff fit the bill. He was asked to make the sound of a Wookie:

C3PO takes his place in the Star Tours queue, missing the silver leg that he had in the last version. We have a nice video of the evening, including the queue here!

 

 

There are a lot of details in the queue, and I'll have many more in the upcoming pages:
