Our Favorite Things: 10 Things We Love Doing at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

10 – Olaf and Frozen Sing-Along Celebration

You might be saying, really Frozen… please “let it go” already! Yes, this is a bad pun, but trust us when we say meeting Olaf at Hollywood Studios is especially heartwarming with his warm hugs. Then, continue your Frozen fun by heading over to the Frozen Sing-Along Celebration attraction. This 30-minute show includes the retelling of the adventures found in the film Frozen with lyrics to sing along to some of the film’s most popular songs. Plus – Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff might even make a special appearance!

9 – See Mickey & Minnie in Red Carpet Dreams

We love this new meet-and-greet location where Mickey and Minnie get to show off their stuff on the red carpet. Mickey is actually Sorcerer Mickey at this location, which has to be our personal favorite, Mickey! Don’t forget about the sweet and beautiful Minnie Mouse, all dolled up, ready to dazzle on the red carpet. This is a great photo op location, so get those cameras ready.

8 – Eat at Themed Dining

Themed dining at Hollywood Studios is arguably some of the best at Disney World. 50’s Prime Time Café holds the bar high with its’ 50’s theme and fun “Mama”, “Uncle” and “Auntie” serving up fantastic food with a slice of humor. Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant is another awesome place to dine, as you get to sit in a specially designed car booth, watch old shows with aliens and monsters on the huge screen, and order great American food and desserts! Let’s not forget about the character dining option, Hollywood & Vine, where the Disney Jr. characters visit during breakfast and lunch, and Minnie and Friends visit during dinner. Finally, you can dine in Andy’s Room at Roundup Rodeo BBQ in Toy Story Land!

7 – Watch Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage

A “tale as old as time” but undoubtedly one of our favorite things we love doing at Hollywood Studios time and time again. Watch Beauty and the Beast come to life with live stage performances, as if Broadway has come to Hollywood Studios! It’s a beautiful show and makes us tear up with each visit. This is one that simply never gets old for us.

6 –  Be Amazed by Fantasmic!

Fantasmic is a spectacular show for all ages and a must-do on our Hollywood Studios list. Watch Mickey dream of a battle between good and evil. See numerous characters, from our favorites to the evil villains, trying to convince Mickey that his dreams can’t come true. It’s an outdoor extravaganza of water displays, music, and fireworks. A true celebration of what Disney is all about… making dreams come true!

5 – Join the Star Wars Craze

We surely must mention what Hollywood Studios is all about these days…STAR WARS! Hollywood Studios is bursting with Star Wars attractions, entertainment, dining, and merchandise around every corner. Head into the Star Wars Launch Bay for some great merchandise and a chance to meet Darth Vader and Chewbacca! Catch the Path of the Jedi film to learn about what might be coming for Star Wars, then head to Star Tours for a thrilling ride through the galaxy. As you exit Star Tours, be sure to stop and make your very own lightsaber. And all of this is outside of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge (#2)! It seems like there is something new every day that involves Star Wars at Hollywood Studios. You know you can’t resist the force!

4 – Play in Andy’s Backyard

You are a toy! The new Toy Story Land, inspired by Pixar Animation Studios’ Toy Story films, turns guests of all ages into “honorary toys” and allows them to “play big” in the whimsical world of a child’s imagination. In Toy Story Land, Woody, Jessie, Buzz Lightyear, Slinky Dog, Green Army Men, and other fun-loving Toy Story characters come to life in the outdoor setting of Andy’s backyard. A world of toys surrounds guests: giant building blocks, Tinkertoys, yo-yos, board-game pieces, dominoes, Scrabble tiles, and even a giant roller coaster set. The entire land encourages the best playtime ever. It really is a very cool-themed land. The land is very immersive, and you’ll actually feel like you are in Andy’s backyard. There is so much to see and do in this new land. The land has been a huge hit with guests! Don’t miss it!

3 – Go on a Picnic with Mickey and Minnie

2 – Immerse Ourselves in a Galaxy Far Far Away

1 – Ride Disney’s Most Thrilling & Best Attractions

We feel Hollywood Studios holds some of Disney World’s most thrilling and best attractions – specifically Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, Toy Story Mania, and Slinky Dog Dash. These attractions have guests running into the park as soon as it opens to beat the waits and maybe ride a few times if possible. We love that they are unique and completely exhilarating in different ways. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance sets a new standard for what a Disney theme park experience can be, as guests become heroes of the Resistance in a climactic battle with the First Order. In one of the most immersive, ambitious, and technologically advanced attractions ever created for a Disney park, guests launch into space aboard a transport shuttle, only to be captured by a Star Destroyer and pursued by Supreme Leader Kylo Ren as they frantically search for a way to escape the clutches of the First Order. The Tower of Terror provides guests with a chill and a stomach-lifting plunge down an elevator. The Rock ‘n’ Roller Coast launches riders into loops, twists, and turns by traveling a whopping 60 miles per hour with incredible G-Force. And while Toy Story Mania isn’t necessarily considered a “thrill” attraction, it is one of the most popular attractions at Disney World because, well… it’s AWESOME. 4D effects allow guests to ride along as they blast targets. It’s rather addictive and an attraction we could do time and time again! Finally, you don’t want to miss Disney’s latest family coaster, Slinky Dog Dash. The coaster is well-themed and a whole lot of fun for guests of any age!
