The Stage

It seems to be a capacity crowd but I’m sitting closer than I had expected to be. I didn’t realize that American Idol was still so popular!
The Judges

Just like the real American Idol, they have celebrity judges. These must be very minor “celebrities” because I’ve never seen them before and have no idea who they are. There is a third judgeWeiterlesen
The First Contestant

As the first contestant is brought on the stage there’s a bit of “getting to know you” talk with the host. This show is put together very well and I think that it’s staying very close to whatWeiterlesen
A Hopeful Contestant

There are several shows of this contest each day. Each show will have a winner. For the last show of the day, all the winners compete and one daily winner is declared.
Trying Her Best

The prize that is given to each daily winner is a golden ticket that gets them to the front of the line for auditions on the real American Idol show in whatever location the contestant chooses. IfWeiterlesen
Singing Her Heart Out

She’s doing very well! I haven’t heard the other contestant yet but I’m thinking that she’s going to be very hard to beat!
Contestant Two

That’s the second contestant, and the host, watching the first woman perform. If she’s not getting nervous yet, she should be! Contestant One is really good!
Taking Her Turn

Although I prefer the music choice of the second contestant, the first contestant is clearly the better singer. My pick is for singer number one.
A Good Effort, But....

Although this woman is a very good singer, I’m not sure if she should even be in this contest. I know that American Idol has certain age limits in order to qualify someone as a contestant. I can’tWeiterlesen
The Judges Verdict

The judges, as expected, say that everybody did a great job and they wished that both of them could be winners but now it’s up to the audience to decide. That’s so stupid! If they can’t decideWeiterlesen
The Winner!

I voted for contestant one and I’m guessing that most people in the audience agreed with me because she was declared the winner. Yay!
Contestant One Goes to the Next Round

Contestant One will now be performing in the last show, along with all the other winners today, to compete for that coveted American Idol golden ticket. I think that she deserves to get it.
Come Back and Vote!

The judges remind everyone to come back for the last show to cheer on, and vote, for your favorite contestant to make sure that “Your American Idol” gets their spot on the show.
Bye, American Idol!

This was a very good show, and I really got the feeling that I was watching a live episode of American Idol, but there’s too many other things to see at Disney’s Hollywood Studios rather thanWeiterlesen
Imperial Walkers

The next area I came to in Disney’s Hollywood Studios was the Star Tours section. This is one of the best, and most exciting, areas of the park!
Darth Vader

I got there just as the Jedi Academy show was starting to wind down. It plays throughout the day so I’m sure that I’ll be able to see it from the beginning later.
Feeling the Force

I can’t resist a Star Wars show and decide to stick around for the few minutes this performance has left. It’s always such a thrill to see the Star Wars characters in person!
The Padawan

This is the padawan , Jedi in training, who helps out the kids during the show. Although looks can be deceiving, she looks kind of cold and very stern. I’m hoping that another padawan is on dutyWeiterlesen
Stormtroopers

A pair of stormtroopers round out the Star Wars costumed characters on stage. These are the soldiers and enforcers of the Empire but, in this show, they seem to function more as Darth Vader’sWeiterlesen
The Treehouse

The Ewok’s treehouse, standing right next to the life sized Walker, really help you get ready to be immersed into the Star Wars Universe! I’m ready to ride Star Tours!
Under the Walker

I’m always so impressed by this giant Walker display. It looks exactly as it did in the Star Wars movies! Passing under it to get into the Star Tours attraction is always a thrill!
Star Tours

As soon as you enter the queue, Star Tours blows you away with it’s attention to detail. Everything looks amazing!
Starspeeder 3000

I really love this queue area! I could stay in here for hours looking at everything and trying to capture it from every angle. There’s much more excitement ahead though!
Threepio

The figures of C-3PO and R2-D2 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios are standard Audio-Animatronics but the ones in Disneyland are actual props from the original film, modified to operate asWeiterlesen
C-3PO

I know that these are animatronic figures but they are so convincing that I feel like I’m looking at the real C-3PO. Even the characters voice is the real voice from the movies. This is all soWeiterlesen
