WDW Hollywood Studios just celebrated its 30th Anniversary, and summer 2019 is here!  You can feel the anticipation all around Hollywood Studios, Galaxy’s Edge is just a few short months away from opening.  Well at least the first attraction will be open, Millennium Falcon: Smuggler Run, along with the dining and shops and unique experiences that can only be Star Wars.  Later this year, the premier attraction, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance should be opening, giving us two Star Wars Grand Openings this year.  If you’re going to Studios before the opening of Galaxy’s Edge, there is still lots of Star Wars adventures to discover: Launch Bay, Star Tours: The Adventure Continues, The March of the First Order, a Galaxy Far, Far Away, and of course Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular Fireworks.

New for the summer of 2019 just past the Rock and Roller Coaster in the Sunset Showplace you’ll find Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy.  The courtyard outside the academy is a perfect spot to get a picture with Cruz Ramirez and the Piston Cup.  Don’t forget to check your times’ guide for DJs dance party –“DJ’s Ready! Set! Party Time!” where you gather around DJ for Cars-inspired dances and games.  Then cruise on inside for the Racing Academy.  The Academy premiered on March 31, 2018.  The show lasts about 10 minutes, inviting guests into the world of Pixar animated, “Cars”, where you become a rookie racer and learn the rules of the road from Piston Cup champion Lightning McQueen himself.  Lightning appears live on stage with a 17-foot-tall wraparound screen stretching more than 200 feet across.  Lightning shares racing knowledge he gathered over the course of his career- and if there’s one thing he’s learned?  Things don’t always go the way they are supposed to, but with some help from your friends – you’ll get back on track.  Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe for more SamsDisneyDiary.com, Youtube.com/SamsDisneydiary
