Rope Dropping "Rise" & Using Genie+, Hollywood Studios

To start our second day at Disney World we walked our way from the Disney Fish, er, I mean, The Dolphin Resort to Hollywood Studios. We wanted to rope drop Rise of the Resistance first, since it has switched from a virtual queue to a standard line, we knew it would be a long wait. Since we were close, we jumped on Smugglers Run. After, we passed though Toy Story Land and took our shot on Midway Mania on the way to our first Lightning Lane to ride Tower of Terror. Then we tried stepping over to Rock'n Roller Coaster into the Single Rider line, hopeful for a shorter wait. (Ha!) Next, we had to run over to Hollywood and Vine for our lunch reservations. We have not eaten at Hollywood and Vine in over a decade, it was fun to see some of the main characters in their Halloween costumes. While at lunch our next Lightning Lane reservation opened for Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway. It was our first time getting to see the preshow, since shortly after the rides opening, they temporarily suspended the preshow. We made another Lightning Lane reservation while in line at Railway for Midway Mania, so we passed back into Toy Story Land so Kari could have a rematch. Up next was one of Bill's favorite underrated rides, Star Tours! That's when the rain started - for the first time - we dodged into the tunnel between the Streets of America and Batu to retrieve our ponchos before heading back to Toy Story Land for Swirling Saucers. Before taking a "break" and stepping into Disney's "One Man's Dream" to meet with the former Head Scarer, Sully.
