Day Report 26 - Hollywood Studios - May 2012

I left my house a little after 7:00 am. I got there, parked, walked to the entrance, and saw that the park was already open. I took some pictures of the Stormtroopers and then I was walking down Hollywood Blvd. at 8:00.

Once I got closer to the hat, I noticed that Boba Fett was on the stage.

I didn't know what I wanted to do next. I wandered around for a little bit and wound up on line to meet Darth Vader. I got on line around 8:30 and met him at 9:30.

I then got on line to meet Boba Fett. Unfortunately, he went in before I got to meet him so I got to meet Jango Fett.

I took some pictures of the characters that were out. I got on line to meet Shaak Ti and Anakin Skywalker. As soon as I got on line, Shaak Ti left so I only got to meet Anakin.

Around 11:30, I went to find a spot to watch the parade. All the spots in the shade on Hollywood Blvd. were taken. I wound up sitting right where the parade starts. Once it got closer to the parade, I was surrounded by people. They really need to lengthen the parade route. There are so many people there to watch it and not nearly enough room.

When the parade was over, I followed right behind it to the stage in front of the hat. I was able to get right up front.

I went to Darth's Mall. Princess Leia was out but her line was closed. I looked around for a little bit and bought a Minnie Mouse as Princess Leia vinylmation.

I wandered around for a while taking pictures of characters. I was also waiting around to see Aurra Sing. I was told she'd be out at 3:40 and she never came out. I asked another CM when she'd be out and I was told that nobody knew because they hadn't seen her but they'd let me know when they found out. A little while later I was told that she'd be out at 4:45. While I was waiting for her, I took pictures of characters and met Darth Maul.

I waited for Aurra Sing and she knew that I was waiting for her so she came over to me and we got a picture together. Then I took some pictures of her and some other characters that were in the area.

Jango Fett was out and I heard his handler say that he'd be going in soon. So, I got on line so I could meet Boba Fett. I thought that Jango would be going in by the time I got to the front of the line. I got up towards the front and the guy in front of me told me that I could go in front of him because he was waiting for Boba. I told him that I was also waiting for Boba so we let the family behind me go ahead of us. At that time, they were the only people behind us. They were appreciative but the CM was pissed. She was raising her voice, waving her arms around, and just being rude. Some more people had gotten on line so the two of us just moved to the end of the line to wait for Boba.

I walked through the Streets of America and the Jawas were out. This was the first time that I've seen them out. I grabbed a few pictures, went and sat for a bit, and then left.
