Day 6, Part 3
We were back in Hollywood Studios!
I knew my uncle would get a kick out of Prime Time’s decor so I took him into the waiting area and let him look around while my dad waited outside with April. He loved it. Mid century modern is one of his favorite decoration styles so he really got a kick out of it. The hostesses loved his enthusiasm and offered us a table, but we weren’t quite ready to eat yet.
Instead, my uncle wanted to go back to Galaxy’s Edge to take more pictures.
We considered Docking Bay 7 for food, even though the options weren’t super appealing to us. Millennium Falcon only had a 30 minute wait, so I offered that up as an option as sort of a “last hurrah” ride. If the wait time was accurate, then it should be enough time for my uncle and I to ride, and then for my dad to ride with the rider swap pass, before grabbing something quick and heading back to the Boardwalk.
Spoiler: It was not accurate.
I think it ended up being closer to 45 minutes. My uncle really enjoyed the ride, even though he’s not super familiar with Star Wars lore. But by the time we got out we were all hungry and my dad didn’t really care about not riding.
I checked the app and saw that Prime Time actually had walk-ups available, but we had to be closer to the restaurant to sign up. So we made our way back towards it and I kept refreshing the app until I was close enough. It said it would be about a 10 minute wait, which seemed like more than enough time to get there, but lo and behold we were told they were ready for us after only about 2 minutes!
We had a lovely meal at Prime Time, which is another family favorite for us. April was a bit too young for the antics, which was why it wasn’t really on my radar this trip, but I think she’ll really get a kick out of it in a few years. For food, I got the sampler and shared it with April.
The park was officially closed when we left, so it was nice to leave a mostly quiet park and then have a leisurely walk back to the Boardwalk.
Since April had had such a late nap, it wasn’t quite time for bed when we got back (we go by wake windows instead of set sleep times, otherwise it’s a fight if we try to put her down too early). It was my last chance to go to Abracadabar this trip and I really wanted to show my uncle, so my dad happily watched April while my uncle and I went down to the bar.
I can’t remember what he got, but I got my favorite drink there and maybe anywhere, the Pepper’s Ghost.
We had some nice bonding time and then walked around the lobby area for a bit before heading back to the villa, where it was finally time to put April to bed, and shortly after, myself.
Up next, our check-out day!
