disney's hollywood studios theme park at
walt disney world is definitely going
through some major changes right now
there's a lot of construction happening
but in the minds of many people it's
considered to be that disney park with
all the star wars stuff and really when
you look at it they aren't wrong the
major ongoing project right now is star
wars galaxy's edge construction is well
underway on this new 14 acre land and
it's gonna be pretty impressive now this
land isn't opening until late 2019 but
in the meantime the park has many other
exciting star wars attractions to keep
you busy including a brand new star wars
parade
so today we're going to be counting down
the top 5 star wars experiences at
disney's hollywood studios
number five the star wars parade so
disney's hollywood studios has been
without a parade since 2013 but that all
just changed very suddenly without any
major announcements disney finally
debuted a brand new parade themed to
hollywood and the popular star wars
franchise take a look
[Music]
april fools sorry we had to
now in all seriousness maybe this isn't
an official parade by any means but it's
probably going to be the closest thing
to a parade we'll ever see until star
wars galaxy's edge opens in 2019 and
even then who knows if they'll actually
bring a parade back to the park so if
you're wondering what you just saw
those are actually the mobile stages
that are usually in front of the chinese
theater they're used for the star wars a
galaxy far far away stage show
[Music]
on april 3 2016 the show originally
opened with a more temporary slash
permanent stage it was definitely more
temporary than that sorcerer's hat yeah
that hat was originally built for the
100 years of magic celebration in 2001
and was only supposed to be up until
2003 but then stayed an extra 12 years
until 2015 blocking the chinese theater
every single day anyway the problem with
the temporary stage was that it also
blocked the chinese theater since the
park began using projection mapping on
the theater for their nighttime shows
they needed a different option because
as you can see the screen posts on the
stage structures did cause some
obstruction so in october of
2017 disney debuted the mobile stages at
the park when the park opens the stages
are brought into the hub from the
backstage area besides star tours then
after the last performance of a galaxy
far far away they move the mobile stages
backstage to prepare for the nighttime
entertainment now once you experience
the star wars mobile stage parade for
yourself it brings back all those
memories of when the park had a real
parade especially since it travels along
the exact same parade route people are
stopped along the side of the walkway
watching the quote-unquote floats pass
by and cast members follow behind the
last float carrying a rope with a crowd
of people following behind them that's
exactly what happens during any disney
parade so if you're missing that parade
atmosphere at hollywood studios
definitely keep an eye out for the star
wars mobile stage parade and ps that's
not what disney calls this they just
call it let's move the stages backstage
now the star wars characters have
appeared in past parades like the disney
stars and motor cars parade
[Music]
also until star wars weekends were
discontinued in 2015 the park also used
to have a full star wars parade so
disney does have a history between their
parades and star wars i mean all they
really need to do is have the
stormtroopers lead the march of the
first order in front of the stages throw
c-3po on the front float and bam that's
a real star wars parade right there
number four galaxy's edge now in terms
of other ways to get your star wars
fixed at the park there's definitely a
lot of options if you want a little
sneak peek of star wars galaxy's edge
just enter the park through studio drive
and you'll actually get a really good
view of the construction you see just
how big those mountains are going to be
and get a really good idea of the scale
of the show buildings
the entrance into the land off grand
avenue gives you a really good idea of
what kind of immersive views you'll have
from inside this new land also in the
walt disney presents walkthrough exhibit
and animation courtyard there's a small
piece of the model on display which
appears to be one of the major
restaurants in the new land to give you
more of a look into galaxy's edge we'll
quickly head to disneyland where in star
wars launch bay there's another piece of
the model on display the details of this
land are going to be insane and it's
probably going to be the most immersive
land disney has ever built
number three star tours
another way to satisfy that star wars
craving at the park is star tours the q
features the c-3po and r2d2 animatronics
and although the ride's been around
since 1989 they have been continuously
updating it
in late 2017 they added a little segment
to the ride to tease the new land disney
announced that the planet you'll be
traveling to in galaxy's edge would be
called batu and when you take a ride on
star tours you'll be able to see exactly
what the land will look like right at
the end of your tour you land in batu
right in front of what appears to be
that major restaurant that's part of the
model on display at the park
[Music]
the video's sort of hard to make out
here since the attractions video is 3d
but while you physically ride you get a
great look inside this new immersive
land
number 2 character experiences
the park is full of many opportunities
to catch a glimpse of your favorite star
wars characters through multiple stage
shows and meet and greet experiences as
you saw earlier the galaxy far far away
stage show in the hub gives you an
opportunity to see a lot of characters
including rey
r2d2 chewbacca
darth maul
boba fett and bb-8
another place to find star wars
characters is at the jedi training
academy the show is meant for young
padawans to participate in but watching
the show is pretty entertaining seeing
as how these younglings can be pretty
spontaneous
you'll also get a chance to see darth
vader and kylo ren in action
now if you want the chance to see more
star wars characters one-on-one then
head into animation courtyard you'll
most likely get a chance to see some
stormtroopers roaming around but just be
aware that they don't stop to pose for
photos you can take photos with them but
they won't stop
keeping my eye on you this area is under
the protection of the first order
and if you want to see even more
stormtroopers check the times guide for
the stormtroopers march of the first
order it happens multiple times per day
in front of the stage in the hub then
after that you can head into star wars
launch bay where there's meet and greets
with kylo ren bb-8 and chewbacca
number one a galactic spectacular
to close off your star wars experience
at hollywood studios make sure you check
out the projection and fireworks show
star wars a galactic spectacular they
schedule this 14 minute show with a
20-minute gap between the end of
fantasmic and the start of the fireworks
so you're able to watch both
[Music]
seeing the many iconic moments from the
films projected onto the theater with
the mix of classic disney fireworks is
the perfect way to end your day at
disney's hollywood studios
[Music]
and there you have it in addition to the
star wars mobile stage parade those are
some other great ways to enjoy star wars
at the park so do you think hollywood
studios will ever see the return of a
real parade once star wars galaxy's edge
opens or do you think the park might be
too busy and crowded to even be able to
handle a parade leave a comment down
