The temperature and humidity out here are too damn high! So it’s shopping, pin-trading, and back to the room for some home-made lunch before we head out again for our afternoon stuff.

The nerdiest lamps around. I sort of love them.

Back at the resort, before lunch pin-re-organization and securing had to take place apparently:

In their defense, Hollywood Studios was a profitable park for pin trading, a bunch of cool stuff! And anyway, that stripey lanyard is mine. Found a classic Epcot lanyard, and since I’m collecting the classic Epcot pins, I sort of had to.

Decided to try and see if this 360 degree video thing works out. Let’s give it a go, here’s our suite:

Note: Turns out this may or may not work on your browser. :-/ I’ll keep playing with it when I get the chance and see if I can get the 360 video thing working, I want it!

This afternoon back to the park for Slinky Dog Dash coaster, our dessert party, and maybe another ride or two on something we’ve already done. The park is pretty small these days. Hoping the lines aren’t too bad when we go back since we have our FastPass scheduled later in the evening. I want to do Rockin’ roller coaster again!

The content in Star Tours is pretty cool! For example, I now actually want to watch The Last Jedi again, because in the Star Tours version you see the AT-AT’s storming the gate mixed in with the better-armored AT-AT like things (with the knuckles) and you can see that the more sensibly armored ones are actually MUCH larger. I need to see if we saw that in the movie!

Also, the branding at the end where you land in what will be the new Star Wars land is kind of a nice touch. Also, none of our group got caught as the rebel spy this time! [ glaring at Bevin ]

They did have some really cool art after the ride that I kind wish I could buy, really neat art-deco stylings of Star Wars locations. Do want. Should’ve taken pictures, oops.

Or maybe the villain. Everywhere he goes war breaks out. An ominous sign for our future.

Bevin is once again concerned. Everyone screaming worries her.

Oh man, that coaster is fun. The only inversion in Disney World, I love it!

Bev however:

Less pleased with that. It’s okay, we’ll do it again, she’ll learn to love it.

Sunday night we went to The Void, a star wars VR experience.

Way cool! You put on the vest and helmet, can’t see anything but the VR world, and then walk around! Freaky and fun!

Easily the best demonstration of Occulus I’ve seen. I want one.

Okay, off to Hollywood Studios! For towers, and terror!

On our way out of the park. Dark and blurry, but what can you do. Better photo from the in-park photographer later.

No, I’m not showing you video of Rivers of Light, I was too busy watching to hold up my phone. 😂

Really really cool show. I cannot BELIEVE the barge drones driving themselves around the lake. Really cool water projections too.
