 Hey friends today, we are hanging out at Disney's Hollywood Studios I hear that Star Wars launch bay has reopened and Darth Vader and Chewbacca are both meeting and greeting guests again And I'm so excited. I cannot wait to get a hug from Chewbacca It's literally one of the best meet and greet you can find on property and then we're gonna hang out ride some rides Try some new food and just have a beautiful Hollywood Studios kind of day. Anyways, let's go do this It is a beautiful day here today at Hollywood Studios 93 degrees out a little bit hot, but there's some wind so that makes it a little bit easier And I'm just excited to be here. I'm excited to see some of the characters back and just enjoy a Hollywood Studios day Looks like Donald and Daisy are coming out. Oh Donald's telling everyone to be quiet. He's sneaking up on Daisy. Look at this Daisy's like what? It's really amazing seeing a lot of things make their return a lot of characters are coming back for meet and greets Restaurants are opening back up shows are coming back, and I cannot wait till everything is like a hundred percent again I mean we're getting there Like I said, I am very excited for things to get back to the way they were before But here at Hollywood Studios, there's still a couple of key things that haven't opened back up like Phantasmic like I cannot wait for phantasmic to be back voyage of the Little Mermaid now Star Wars launch bay has reopened I think all of the character meet and greets and most of the restaurants have reopened Maybe some quick service spots and like snack carts But I mean those are the big things like we need phantasmic back and then Hollywood Studios will be a hundred percent again. I Feel like Hollywood Studios compared to like Magic Kingdom Epcot and Animal Kingdom is the least back to a hundred percent. You know what I mean? Magic Kingdom Epcot both have their nighttime shows back We still want a phantasmic here, but I mean it's getting there and I'm excited to go to launch bay and meet Darth Vader I'm actually wearing my journey to the dark side Roosevelt. I figured that was fitting So I think we're gonna head down there first As I was making my way down the launch bay I noticed that Mickey and Minnie's runaway railway has basically like a walk on it says it's a 45 minute wait But there's nobody in queue here. So the queue is immediately inside the theater and that's awesome That's a good way to kind of you know predict how the day might go. Maybe it's gonna be a very Easy-going day with no long lines. I Say that in the hopes that it's not gonna be a busy day But I know that a lot of people are gonna be wanting to come out in see Vader and Chewbacca So I'm sure we're gonna see long lines there, but maybe the attractions won't be that bad And here we are Star Wars launch bay Do you guys remember when this was a mask relief station used to actually go in here to take your mask off? And now the meet and greets are back I'm also excited to see if the visa or the chase card meet and greet is back and oh boy Encounter with Darth Vader 50 minute wait meet Chewbacca 30 minutes. I told you I mean this is a popular thing That's returning so I'm excited Luckily the 50 minute wait is gonna be all indoors and it's gonna be nice a C So we're gonna be able to just relax and chill out and we're gonna be able to see Chewbacca and Darth Vader And I don't know about BB-8 yet though. We'll have to see we'll see about the special chase photo and BB-8 because they're all in this Building they're all in launch bag As of right now BB-8 is not back meeting a great guest, but he is coming back soon He they did announce it I'm not sure if this is all just a soft opening that we're getting to check out But they did announce that he is coming back So hopefully very soon and it looks like the doors are still shut for the visa I keep on saying visa chase it used to be visa used to be chase But they have a special meet and greet and it'll probably be Kylo Ren I don't know if it's gonna be coming back or not. It's usually right there, but no access access denied All right, here it is we have Chewbacca over here and then we have Vader over there and Kylo Ren was actually there before I mean Kylo Vader was here first then Kylo Ren now it's back to Vader So I'm excited to see Vader again, and we're gonna do both of them. I Think I'm gonna start with Vader instead of Chewbacca. I mean I know Vader has a longer weight But there's less people in line to meet Darth Vader than there is Chewbacca. So I don't know how it's a longer weight There's only 20 people waiting to meet Darth Vader and there's 35 people waiting to meet Chewbacca So this is definitely got to be the lower weight time I'm also curious to see if there's a human photo pass photographer in there or if they're using those like automated like boxes I like the human photo pass photographers bring back the humans Okay, so that was a five minute wait That went by super fast Lord Vader my excellence. Thank you. I've come to show you my journey to the dark side There is loyalty admirable trait Ensure that is not Absolutely not. Thank you And have a wonderful day Lord Vader. I'm out Goodbye That's amazing So there wasn't an actual photo pass photographer in there It was in a box and when you come out they have a little machine here You have to tap to get your photos. That's what I have to do. Look at those are all my photos right there see Isn't that so amazing, but I really I missed a photo pass photographer They add a little bit of a better experience, but that's my that was my interaction He was right up in my face Vader was so intimidating I even called him Lord Vader because I wanted to kind of gain his trust Because you know, I'm not really for the dark side even though I am wearing a journey to the dark side shirt I'm not really on the dark side, but I wanted to gain his trust and I also wanted to make it out of there alive Now we're gonna go straight from Darth Vader to the wookiee on base and Chewbacca says 30 minute wait, but it looks like there's one two Oh, there's definitely way more people in line to meet Chewbacca. I mean, it's a better meeting great I mean, it's not a better meeting great. It's a funner meeting great There's nothing really funny about meeting Vader. It's actually a very serious Encounter so Chewbacca is a little bit more life-harded There he is Chewie you're home I'm so excited to see you. Oh wow. It's nice to be back Very fancy Yeah, that's very cool. Yo, can we just uh, can I log? Thank you, seriously, that's awesome. Yeah, always the best. Yeah. Oh, yes Oh Very fancy. Well, I appreciate it And it's great to see you can we do a photo too? Yeah. Oh, all right. I'm in it I like how you I try to do like a Chewie call, but I'm not really good. I Think I sound like a bird That one's better. All right you win We'll see you soon You're still my favorite Chewie was amazing that was great I really really loved meeting him and like I said between him and sully best huggers for me recently So I just I mean I like hugging the characters I mean, I love him hugging like Mickey Mouse and stuff like that, but like damn. It's just so awesome when I don't know That was great. I mean what you can hug Darth Vader. I don't think he accepts. Oh, I think he just straight up says no I mean somebody should try try to go in for a hug on Darth Vader. I want to see what happens Now it looks like the characters are coming back out over here by Disney jr. There's Vampirina Look at this. It looks like the characters are all coming back out now The rain is gone. Oh Well, that's fancy While we were in launch bay meeting Vader and Chewie it looks like we got the afternoon Florida shower like and we missed it I feel like I'm the luckiest person in the world right now like I am thrilled Oh, I see it's just like puddles everywhere and as soon as I walked out I felt the change in humidity, but we missed the Florida afternoon shower Up and now here comes Pluto too. That's really awesome Now that the Vader business is taking care of I think maybe we'll grab something to eat maybe a drink I want to ride some rides, but after her brains It always seems like everyone runs their attractions because you don't mean they were basically hiding from the rain So they run to the attractions afterwards So for the next hour the attraction wait times are going to be up a little bit So I think we'll grab something to eat or maybe some of the drink and let it cool down or let it get back to normal a little bit Ah see what I'm talking about as we were walking in there was nobody in line for Mickey and Minnie's runaway We're away and now look at it. That's usually what happens because you know what I mean Like there's a big group of people they all basically chic shelter chic chic shelter and then Once the rain is over. They run to the attractions. I Was trying to decide where I wanted to grab a quick bite from and there's not many quick service locations here at Hollywood Studios And I haven't eaten at ABC commissary like very like often So they have some shrimp tacos there and I'll say about getting some shrimp tacos I'm on the shrimp like kick right now, and I'm loving it I'll tell you what the ABC commissary really changed up their stuff a lot I remember for a brief moment there They were doing like dining reservations like they switched like to like sit down reservations and it was so strange But now the menu is like a pretty good mix They have all different types of tacos and then they have some sandwiches and burgers Let me show you oh, yeah They got a buffalo chicken grilled cheese or a buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich a chicken club sandwich There is the pork tacos and then they have a California burger, but I'm all about shrimp I want the shrimp ones and I mobile order it so it's ready. So we got a head in All right, we're gonna head right on in I love coming into ABC commissary They have some awesome things like they have some props from dancing with the stars over here They even have some props from the Connors right over there, and we're gonna grab our food I don't know if I'm gonna sit down and eat it here. I think I might actually take it over the baseline I mean I mean number two number two. Oh, that's me Seriously these shrimp tacos look amazing and it was only like 13 dollars. They give you two tacos They give you rice and beans. I'm impressed And here they are the shrimp tacos look at them. They look really really fancy That's a mango salsa on there, and I can't believe it was only 13 dollars and instead of sitting down in ABC commissary I brought it over to baseline. So I'm excited. I'm gonna squeeze the lime in there grab a little drink a little shrimp toky toky a little shrimp taco All right, let's dive into these shrimp tacos now gonna grab one right here. I can't wait to try the shrimp too. It looks pretty good Oh, wow. This looks good though for real. I love it It also comes in mayonnaise, but I got it without the mayonnaise. You know, we don't need mayonnaise in life Not on shrimp tacos. I'm all about the mango salsa, but here we go first bite Oh, wow, that's good That is very good a little bit of spice not too much and I can't wait to try this rice too Yeah, a little scoop of rice, then maybe I'll put the rice on the tacos There we go That is good And of course I need to get the lime on there I actually forgot it on my first bite, but I've just been obsessed with drenching everything in line Look at it. We're gonna get the most of it get the beans get the beans limey beans Oh, by the way, I met up my friend Beth. Yeah, right here at baseline limey beans Honestly, I really do love the shrimp tacos. I mean, they're okay They're like the best you can get for like a shrimp taco here at like Hollywood Studios and the line just makes it better Now that we got the shrimp taco business taken care of I think we're gonna make our way over to Toy Storyland I've been wanting to ride Slinky Dog Dash for a while and today seems like a nice day. Hopefully it doesn't rain though Walking through Toy Storyland you really could feel the heat. I know I know what you're like We always talk about how there's no shade over here But it is a super hot day today and after the rain storm the humidity just rises I mean, I'm excited to ride Slinky Dog Dash because that's a good way to cool off We're just about to get on but my favorite thing to point out whenever I come ride Slinky Dog Dash is all the other Slinky animals. I feel like the cat. Yes, as I was gonna say Slinky cat Slinky bird They even have a slinky frog. I feel like they don't get a lot of attention. There's even a slinky warm. Oh There's a slinky snake A slinky a slinky snake Doesn't sound funny a slinky snake Yeah, not to be confused with a limey means but it's true looking at a little slinky rabbit right here All these slinkies they all get overshadowed by Slinky Dog There's the slinky snake a book for you to color Slinky Dog Dash is one of my favorite ride. I just love it I think it's a fun ride and it's actually one of my favorite roller coasters and a lot of people like to sit in The front but I like to sit in the back I like to ride in the back because I feel like when you go over that like first big drop They feel like a little bit more uplifting, but you feel like you're coming out of your seat a little bit more Looks like here's our dog oh Fancy and we're doing the back row just the way I love it little springy tail on there. This is the way Oh Look at that I just cools you off so much Seriously slinky dog dash really cools you off like it's a hot day go right slinky dog dash like just the breeze alone It feels great. Hey, how are you fancy? but like I said it is so fun and Yeah, now. I think we're just gonna move along figure out what else we want to do walk through Toy Story Land I am very excited for when Woody's Roundup the barbecue restaurant opens up. Are you excited for that too, Beth? Are you? I mean it looks really good. I mean the walls are there. We're there. It's almost I think no announced You kind of yeah and some barbecue Yep, Hollywood needs that Well a little bit of a surprise but since I'm here and I'm hanging out with my friend Beth And you guys might have seen her before she has villains and vice YouTube channel we met up with some other friends and we got to talking and We were looking to get something to eat and we checked in Topolinos had an open walk-up reservation So since we're here at Hollywood Studios, I guess we're gonna switch things up And we're gonna go grab the skyliner and head to the top of the Riviera and have a very fancy meal So kind of fun. I like mixing things up a little bit Honestly, it's hard to pass up going to Topolinos and I'm actually more excited to go ride the skyliner I feel like I have a road to skyliner in months. So it's gonna be really fun And to be honest it got super busy here at Hollywood Studios the wait times are very very long Like we waited a while to get on some of the rides, but holy moly. It's too hot It's like so hot out today. July in Florida is brutal. So a little skyliner escaped. I think that sounds like the perfect plan And on our way over to the skyliner, we get to see the gigantic Baymax. Look at them up there peeking over the top I love Baymax. Honestly, so we're you know, we were talking about character meet and greets and like hugging Chewbacca and Sully But out of all the character meet and greets that have ever existed now, of course the Baymax one doesn't exist anymore That was the best literally a fluffy hug from Baymax. That was like the best thing ever Looks like there's nobody waiting to get on the skyliner in the middle of the afternoon And I'm excited. Oh, it looks like we're getting an unwrapped one too. I Remember when the skyliners first opened up people were afraid they were gonna be too hot now you go and ride them to cool down Yeah, we're coming in hot and also take a look at all the sleeping skyliners over here. This is where they come to go to bed at night A whole bunch of skyliners over there I always get nervous at this point right here, right? Okay, can you imagine me just Oh I am so excited that we're gonna be going to eat at topolinos. It's such a beautiful view from up there We're gonna be able to drink some drinks and have a great meal with an amazing view and it's a fun Tour switch of events their turn of events Also, I wish I can buy these pictures take the skyliner Discover the world Epcot then they have a Lonnie here and then right here is topolinos where we're about to go eat flavors of the Riviera Well having then we have a cocoa themed one The last time I stayed at Riviera. It was such an amazing experience. I got to stay in the tower like the studio towers and there's the smallest rooms on Disney property, but it was so Amazing and you got to see the fire so can we imagine like what it's like to stay there for like a fourth of July fireworks because that's got to be amazing But right here are the tower studios and this little like rounded shape there and they're the smallest rooms on Disney property They don't have a bed. They just have like a Murphy bed and that's it you guys have to check the video I'll put it in the description if you want to look at it It's a great video, but it's amazing because then you get to see Epcot fireworks from there and Then of course this breeze right right here is so amazing. Look at this. I Love it Peter Pan And then you got Rapunzel over here very fancy We have to go all the way up to the 10th floor to actually get the topolinos and We're gonna head right up. I Am so excited to be eating up here, and I think I'm actually gonna get the pasta this time I've heard amazing things about the rigatoni. Just look at that It's a good-looking pasta there, and I just love this restaurant in general. It's very beautiful very elegant Definitely one that you have to take your hat off We're sitting over here Look at this very fancy Now that we're up here Let's take a look at the menu a little bit and also it's getting close to Sunset so you might be able to see a beautiful sunset from outside and Maybe even some fireworks. I mean who knows we're just kind of winging it They always have amazing drinks here like they've got the modern fashion Which is a modern twist to an old fashion, and I like that a lot and then they've got some pretty good Appetizers and some starters. They actually have an asparagus soup, which I've never had I don't know if you can see that too much, but it's got a bunch of stuff that I'm really not too well with pronouncing I know the quail egg and the carrot to the Lou parmigiana and prosciutto prosciutto, but as you said just the dust Just the dust yeah, you know, you know, you don't want the whole prosciutto and Yeah, just the dusting and then they also got some handcrafted pastas They've got rigatoni, which I hear is amazing lobster linguine, and then they have the foie the French veal chop So I don't know I'm gonna have to you have to think about it I'm really excited to try the asparagus soup I think I am gonna give it a go and also I want to try the burger Tony, but I'm not too sure if I like the sauce I think we're gonna have to maybe try maybe substituting the sauce or maybe I'll ask if I can have a little of the sauce Just to give it a taste. You know I mean I Decided on getting the modern fashion look they have a Riviera resort branded ice cube You know, it's fancy when they got their ice cubes branded. I love this. I've had this drink before it's very very good very very smooth Well cheers Yeah very very fancy I Decided on getting the burger Tony But I am gonna get it with the red sauce and the bread service has arrived and I love the bread service here Look at this. Look at the fancy little Riviera resort. I love how everything's RR Oh, is that what it is? I'll do one if you do one Can you imagine? shots of oil But it is it's really good bread and it's fancy looking bread too. Look at that.

That is a really really good dish and like I said, normally I would have get the filet from up here But I'm impressed My friend actually got the rigatoni the way that it comes so I am gonna give it a try Just so that I know whether or not I would have liked the sauce. So here we go You know, I probably would have eaten the sauce. Oh Well, well now I know next time next next time I know Now even though I do like the way that it comes naturally I have to say I think I like the red sauce a little bit better I mean, I just really enjoy this dish and adding the shrimp to it.
