I spent quite a bit of extra time at the parks with friends last week! During one of my visits to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, I was able to meet Bolt out in the Muppets courtyard (below left). The Rock n’ Roller Coaster is open but the guitar is being rehabbed (below, right).

Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett) waves to the crowd. Following him is David Prowse (below, right). All 3 weeks have been great, but this weekends guests really played off each other well. Both are wonderfully kind to their fans as well.
