Hollywood Studios 2022

In my opinion Hollywood Studios is the smallest park in Disney World (WDW). I got lucky with this park when it came to the day, we explored it. This was the first day where I started to feel "sick". I didn't want to be the person that ruined this new experience for my boyfriend, because of a sniffle (or so I thought...lol). Nope not I! I put my smile on and pushed through (well I tried...)! LOL

For our visit the weather was gloomy-rainy-humid weather (very Orlando, FL). It would rain and shower throughout the day, towards the evening we had to pull out the umbrellas. Purchasing the Genie+ was a wise decision as it got us through the day & rides quicker.

Rides, Entertainment, & Experiences

Star Tours - The Adventures Continue (Ride)
Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway (Ride)
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (Ride) (📸)

We walked the entire park, checked the shops, and the exhibits they had. We didn't do any of the shows because I was starting to feel exhausted and uncomfortable towards the end of the day. My boyfriend made the considerate decision to only do the rides that we can't do in California. We didn't get to do:

Toy Story Mania (Ride)
Rise of the Resistance (Ride)
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run (Ride)
