Well, hello travelers! Welcome back to Walk About the World. We are your weekly audio stroll through the parks and resorts at Walt Disney World, and hey, even an occasional stroll through Disneyland in California. Oh, here's our safety spiel. Wouldn't be an episode without it. You're welcome. My pleasure. It's just great to be here.

Anywho, my name is Josh, and I'm once again behind the mic as your co-host as we share a wonderful January Florida afternoon. And where are we today? Can you tell? Yeah, we are back at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Hey, what's the plan today? Well, what do you say we spend some time with our favorite droids? Maybe take a star speeder to a galaxy far, far away. What do you think? Yeah, let's go check out that classic here at the studios and head over to Star Tours. Of course, we will enter beneath that massive life-size AT-AT or AT-AT.

How do you say it? I've always just said AT-AT. But I think either one is acceptable. Then we'll head into the queue inside the starport to catch our flight. Where do you think we're going to go, travelers? We'll find out soon. As we walk about the world attention please star tours flight 629 service from Nauvoo is now arriving at gate 1L. Passengers may met at the arrival sign at level 1. Thank you. Galactic regulations require all passengers be screened by security prior to boarding. Droids and domesticated creatures must be cleared by customs.

Thank you for your cooperation. Star Tours is pleased to announce its inaugural flights to the great city planet Coruscant. Sign up for a closely guided tour of the Imperial Senate and watch the Guardians of Peace and Justice in action. Then be sure to explore the skywards and byways of the megalopolis that never sleeps, Imperial City. The streets are alive with state-centered excitement at every hour of the day and night. Enjoy a night at the opera or party all night long in Coruscant's famous club district. It's all waiting for you on Coruscant. Non-stop flexed-in-life daily. Consult a Star Tourist Association for further details. Now, that sounds like a fascinating tour.

I might just join you. On second thought, I just remembered how much I hate station levels. You have a nice trip though, aren't you? There has been a gate change for Star Tours flight 610, Starspeeders to the Pacific Cushies. Flight 610 will now be departing from gate 1D. This is a gate change announcement also. Thank you. That's one planet I'll certainly avoid. Bookies can be very unpredictable. What is it now, R2? Don't get technical with me, what pressure? The fuel pressure? Well, why didn't you say so in the first place? Let me check.

I am getting a run. I can even hear it. So, yes, I'm shutting off the main line right now. Just you get back to fixing that motivator. It's impossible to let go so easily. Star Tours is proud to introduce the Star Speaker 1000, the most sophisticated and luxurious space liner in its class. While other space lines pack you in like a herd of tom-toms, Star Tours offers you the widest seats and the most legroom of any carrier. Every Star Speaker is equipped with the most reliable pilots, advanced astromechs,

and the latest IC360 camera drawings. With more flights to more destinations, why not take your tours with Star Tours? Convenient daily departures. Star Tours is not responsible for lost or destroyed luggage. Disruptions and service caused by imperial entanglements, video showers, asteroid melts or black holes. These and other toys may vary. Hover space travel and cam toys have no worn-on flights. Brings a subject to change without notice.

Have a nice flight. The space around the galaxy is. And me. And the robot. The place around the galaxy is quite beyond me. But I'm certain you'll have a wonderful flight. I'd give it really quite lovely if you would find that sort of thing. Attention, please. Galactic Security would like to remind you to keep carry-on luggage and packages with you at all times. Never accept packages from any life form or droid you are not familiar with. Um, is anyone here traveling?

Cabin 4. All of the secret ammo bags. Oops. All of the secret ammo base. Oops. All of the previously secret ammo base. Have a nice flight. Well, what have we here? Clearly some sort of alien weapon technology. Oh! He's shooting at us. We're under attack.

Everyone, don't. Don't worry. Don't worry, everyone. I'll save the day. Destroy. Destroy. Thank you. Thank you.

That may look like I'm looking directly at you, but I'm actually looking at that over there. Do you have any skills? Yes. I totally see that. Keep it. Good? Okay. I'm sorry, but you may not bring your jaw on through here.

Oh, those are your young legs. Oh, wow. Wow. Just what you to you later. Depart. You just do your job, and I'll do mine. Ah, excuse me. Who are you? See, radio. Systems amethyst. It's about time. The binary motivator's acting up. Well, binary is like a second language to me, but I can't fix the motivator from here. Just make it quick. Reschedule the department a few minutes. Then there's no time to lose. Off you go.

Turdroid's British. What? Oh, now this is now functioning too. This took any longer than I thought. Hey, have a seat for a game. Wait for scheduling partner for minutes. Please pay attention to the following safety information. When the automatic doors have opened, please proceed directly across the ramp into the cabin. Continue to move all the way across your aisle, filling in every available seat. The lactic regulations require that all carry-on items be safely stowed beneath your seats. Continúa moviendo todo el camino a través de tu isla, recogiendo cada silla disponible. Las reglamentaciones galácticas requieren que todos los objetos de transporte estén seguros debajo de tus sillas.

Para cerrar tu restringente, usa la tarjeta amarilla para sacar la tarjeta de la derecha de la silla y apretar la tarjeta hacia el bucle a tu izquierda. Para tu seguridad, permanece sentado durante tu viaje con tu restringente seguros. Y por favor, cuide a tus hijos. Para su seguridad, permanezcan sentados, con el cinturón de seguridad ajustado, y cuiden a los pequeñitos. No pongan en su clase de avión hasta que sea instrucido a hacerlo por un miembro de la compañía.

Una última recomendación. La fumada y la fotografía nunca son permitidas en never permitted on any Star Tours flight. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask a Star Tours agent. You'll be boarding in just a few moments. Thank you. All passengers, please prepare for immediate boarding. I don't care. Star Tours 1401, you are cleared for departure. Initiate takeoff sequence. What? Takeoff sequence initiated. R2-D2, what's going on here?

We are not ready for takeoff. The captain isn't on board yet. You know I can't fly this thing. No, neither can you. We need them from our pilot. Attention. All transport calls for security clearance. Those stormtroopers

will be deactivated for sure. Hold it right there, Captain. I'm not activating the captain. We're looking for this rebel spy. Have you seen them? No one on this transport could possibly be a spy. This is the speeder we're looking for. Blast them. I'm going to be in a mess! This is madness! I'm going to be in a mess! Arty, don't you dare make the wrong choice!

Arty, where did he go? We just passed the end of Moon. No! No, no! Arjo, fix the trenches immediately. You know I can't swim. And neither can you. Arjo! I'm on! What a ghastly place. Go away, beastly thing.

Go away! Go away! Out of the way! R2- Listen, the First Order is rallying its forces. We need your help. Rendezvous at the coordinates I'm transmitting. Good luck. R2, I really don't think we should project this. R2, I'm sure these are the right coordinates. Help me out! Help me out! I wasn't thrown of this! No! No! No!

Where's the next car? Yeah, we go again! Okay, keep it tight! I can't see a thing! Otto, do something! Star Wars, you shall recover. I have to make a curve. I see.

We're hitting the spitt switch, don't we? On to Brandon and Gurry. All right, we'll take from you. Well, shut up. Now let's go. Bestie, we're going to walk a mile. We will be landing shortly. I do hope you have enjoyed your flight. Thank you for joining us. Oh, thank you.

Thank you for joining us. Hey, that's my ship. We've got a lot of exciting things to do. Thank you for joining us. Hey, that's my ship. We've got a lot of extra meeting up there. I'm going to have to stop. Thank you for joining us. We look forward to seeing you on another flight. ...until the captain has opened the exit doors. You may then unlatch your safety restraints

by pressing the release button on your left. Make sure you have all your personal belongings as you exit. Thank you for flying to Star Tours. Bye-bye. Hi, I got... What happened? She had a little thing that we did. That one mom. Were you on the team on that? Yeah.

What if she got her off your side? She might have been on the other side. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, well, there you go, travelers. I hope you enjoyed touring the galaxy with your ears. Hey, until next time, remember, give us a follow over on Instagram. That's at walkaboutwdw. You can get updates there on our episodes
