Even though it’s no longer MGM Studios, Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World remains one of the premier theme park destinations in the world and a must-visit vacation destination.
Disney World Hollywood Studios is fun for the whole family and is where you are immersed in exciting worlds based on your favorite films. There is plenty to do for kids, thrill-seekers, and people that just want to relax and take it all in.
From its inception in 1989, Hollywood Studios went from a working film studio to a theme park only, all the while still keeping that Disney magic alive, and finding new ways to amaze the millions of guests that visit each year.
In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about Disney’s Hollywood Studios Orlando, including all the rides and attractions, entertainment, and restaurants you will find when you visit.
It’s been hard to visit Hollywood Studios at times in the recent past. The park has undergone more transformations than any of the other 3 Disney theme parks in Florida, with a name change, and no original MGM Studios opening day attractions left today.
Instead, Hollywood Studios has transformed into the home of Star Wars (Galaxy’s Edge), Toy Story, and some of the best rides in Walt Disney World. There is still some work left to do, but we’re excited for the future of the park and where it will be moving forward
We’ll also share with you the history of Hollywood Studios and how MGM Studios started, explore each one of its themed areas, and share some of our favorite tips and tricks we’ve learned in the decades we’ve been going to the park.

What is Hollywood Studios?
Hollywood Studios is the third theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake near Orlando, Florida, USA. Its theme is based on the Golden Age of Hollywood of the 1920s and 30s.
Disney-MGM Studios opened on May 1, 1989, from an idea brought to life by Michael Eisner, Marty Sklar, and Randy Bright. The concept was to create a park centered around a real, working television and film production studio.
The design of many of the buildings at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is based on historic landmarks from the real Hollywood, especially at the entrance plaza. On opening day, Michael Eisner declared: “Welcome to the Hollywood that never was and always will be.”
The park has since shifted away from being a production studio to a traditional theme park. Hollywood Studios is home to 9 themed areas each with a unique look and feel, all based around the movies or film industry.
It’s the second-smallest Walt Disney World theme park at only 135 acres, but home to award-winning attractions like Rise of the Resistance, Tower of Terror, and Slinky Dog Dash.
Where is Hollywood Studios Located?
Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida is just one of the 4 Disney theme parks in the Orlando, Florida area. People sometimes get confused, but the park is part of a larger complex of other parks and hotels.
The official Hollywood Studios address is 351 S Studio Dr, Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830.
When looking at a map of Walt Disney World, Hollywood Studios is close to the middle of the property.
To the immediate North East is EPCOT, and farther North is Disney’s Magic Kingdom. Disney’s Animal Kingdom is to the West. Close by there are multiple Disney hotels with convenient travel to the park.
Hollywood Studios or MGM Studios?
You may be wondering: “What was Hollywood Studios called before?” That’s right, “Hollywood Studios” wasn’t always the park’s name.
In fact, when it opened, the park was actually called Disney-MGM Studios. Disney entered into a partner relationship and licensing agreement with production company Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in order to increase credibility in the film industry.
You have to remember, Disney was a struggling studio during the 1980s, with very few big hits. This was before it became the record-breaking box office juggernaut that people recognize it as being today, and they needed the branding help.
Once Disney started changing the focus of the park from a film and studio production area into a normal theme park, they dropped the name MGM Studios and officially adopted the new name “Hollywood Studios” on January 7, 2008.
What is Hollywood Studios Known for?
When the park first opened up, it was known for not having many attractions, and that hasn’t changed much over the years. Even though the size of Hollywood Studios has doubled, it still remains the Disney World park with the least amount of attractions, something guests often complain about.
As far as park icons, when MGM Studios opened, the Earful Tower was the park’s symbol. That changed in 2001 when the Sorcerer’s Hat became the park icon, until 2015 when it was taken down. Since then, the Chinese Theater has become the main symbol associated with Hollywood Studios.
In recent years, Hollywood Studios has become one of the most-crowded park in Walt Disney World due to the extreme popularity of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and more specifically, the Rise of the Resistance attraction.
Getting Tickets
To go to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you first need to buy park admission. That means you need to decide how many days during your trip to spend there.
Hollywood Studios in Disney World is definitely a full-day park, especially if you want to see all the shows and attractions. In fact, as long as it remains hard to ride Rise of the Resistance, you might want to schedule two days just to be sure.
You might want to consider purchasing a Park Hopper Ticket which allows you to visit multiple parks in one day. That would allow you to visit Hollywood Studios multiple times on your trip, without having to spend a full day each time.
Since we often stay at one of the Skyliner hotels, this makes it easy to go to Hollywood Studios in the morning, do a bunch of rides, and then go to a different park in the evening, like EPCOT for dinner.
Both Single and Multi-Day tickets are available to purchase dates for 2025. Tickets are available right now through late 2025.
Disney World park tickets use dynamic pricing which means the cost changes depending on the date you go. If you are trying to get the best value for your money, visit in the off-season when ticket prices are cheaper. The closer you go to a holiday, the higher ticket prices will be.
Make sure you buy Walt Disney World tickets from the official Disney World website or a trusted reseller. If you see an offer on a third-party website that looks “too good to be true,” it probably is. Some resellers even try to sell unusable tickets. Our Discount Disney World Tickets Guide explains what to look for and how much you can save.
Our favorite place to get discounted tickets is Orlando Vacation. Readers of this site will find they usually have the best deals and will save you the most money, which is never a bad thing! We also highly recommend Undercover Tourist for discounted tickets.
For more info on Disney tickets in general, ticket types, prices, and tips read our Disney World Tickets Guide.
How Much Does it Cost to Go to Hollywood Studios?
Like all Disney World parks, a day in Hollywood Studios is not cheap, especially if you are going with your whole family.
Depending on what date you choose to go, a 1-Day ticket to Disney’s Hollywood Studios can cost anywhere from $139 to $189.
And that is only the cost of admission. On top of that, you have to remember that food will cost a lot, and vary depending on if you eat at table service restaurants or quick service. Prices for food at Hollywood Studios can range anywhere from $50-$100 per day, per person.
If you are taking a car or a motorcycle as transportation, parking will cost $30 per vehicle, per day.
All of these things add up and you should plan on a day at Hollywood Studios costing you between $200 and $250 per person.
For more info on all the expenses you will have, read our post on How Much Does it Cost to Go to Disney World?
Park Pass Reservations
While Theme Park Reservations are still required for certain ticket types, they are no longer required for most guests with date-based tickets! What is the Park Pass Reservation System?
The Disney Park Pass Reservation System was implemented back in 2020 due to the health restrictions and helped Disney manage the crowds and kept them from exceeding the capacity limits.
Park reservations can still be made on the Disney World website, but again, you’ll need to have a valid park admission before making a park reservation. Remember, you ONLY need to do this with certain older ticket types.
Read our post on How to Make Disney World Park Reservations for a detailed walkthrough of how the system works.
Park Hours
Like all Disney World theme parks, park hours at Hollywood Studios can vary a bit depending on the season and if any special events are happening. This should always be factored into any visit so familiarize yourself with the hours before you go.
Normal Schedule – On most days, Hollywood Studios opens at 9:00 am and often closes at 9:00 pm. Occasionally it opens earlier at 8:00 am or 8:30 am and it has later closings at 10:00 or 11:00 depending on the season.
These times could still vary greatly in the coming months, so make sure to check the Walt Disney World Park calendar on the official website for the most updated hours.
Holidays and Busy Days – Hollywood Studios park hours can vary during the holidays and the busy season with earlier openings and later closings.
Early Theme Park Entry – This lets guests who are staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel gain access to the theme parks 30 minutes before the general public each day. This is the case for all 4 Disney World theme parks, 7 days a week.
Extended Evening Hours – This lets guests of select Walt Disney World Resort hotels stay in the theme parks for 2 hours after the normal park closing. Right now, Hollywood Studios only offers Extended Evening Hours on special occasions so check the schedule to see if it’s open later during your visit.
Special Events – Hours also vary when Hollywood Studios is running a Disney After Hours event or another special event. Disney recently announced the new Hollywood Nights, which launched during the holiday season and runs on select nights between 8:30 PM and 12:30 AM.
What Time do the Gates Open? – Often, guests showing up at Disney’s Hollywood Studios early will be let in before the official park opening time. Typically they start letting guests in 30 minutes early and line them up on Hollywood Boulevard.
Check the official Walt Disney World park schedule for the latest Hollywood Studios Hours.
Lands
Like any Disney theme park, Hollywood Studios is separated into distinctly themed lands that change the look and feel of every area of the park.
Here are the 9 themed lands at Hollywood Studios:
- Animation Courtyard
- Commissary Lane
- Echo Lake
- Grand Avenue
- Hollywood Boulevard
- Pixar Place
- Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
- Sunset Boulevard
- Toy Story Land
Hollywood Studios has changed quite a bit from the early days of MGM Studios. At that time, each area of the park was different, but for the most part, they all revolved around a romanticized version of the 1920s or 30s-era Hollywood.
Now there is a much bigger difference from area to area and Disney has paved over some of the original lands in the park for more specific movie-themed areas like Toy Story Land and Galaxy’s Edge. Let’s take a look at all the lands at Hollywood Studios.
Hollywood Boulevard
Any trip to Hollywood Studios starts on Hollywood Boulevard. This is the Studios’ version of Main Street, U.S.A., which operates much in the same way, and sets the stage for the rest of your day here.
The entrance gate is inspired by the Pan-Pacific Auditorium. Don’t miss a recreation of the Crossroads of the World tower in the entrance plaza.
Modeled after the real street with the same name, Hollywood Boulevard is the main shopping area in the park and the main access to the rest of the park. Its colorful buildings are a mix of Art Deco and modern architecture and make you feel like you are back in the 30s.
One of the highlights on Hollywood Boulevard is the entertainers, including the incredibly talented Citizens of Hollywood street performers.
You’ll definitely want to stop at the Trolley Car Cafe (Starbucks) on your way through and get your caffeine fix for the morning. Grab one of their amazing pastries or cupcakes too!
Down further on the right, you’ll find the Hollywood Brown Derby, a recreation of the original VIP hang-out in Hollywood.
At the very end, you’ll see the park’s current icon, the Chinese Theater, which is now home to Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway.
Echo Lake
To the left of Hollywood Boulevard is Echo Lake. The first thing that’s immediately apparent is Gertie, the giant dinosaur in the middle of the lake.
Echo Lake has two very popular restaurants in the 50’s Prime Time Cafe and Hollywood & Vine. Both are worth visiting, but we are particularly fond of 50’s Prime Time.
On the right of the lake you’ll find A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration and the new Mickey Shorts Theater.
Can’t-miss attractions on the far side of the lake include the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular show and Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, a big hit with Star Wars fans, but only a taste of what is to come.
Sunset Boulevard
The first right-hand turn off Hollywood Boulevard brings you to another one of Hollywood’s historic streets…Sunset Boulevard.
This is another street that is nice if you are looking to do some shopping while visiting the park as there are gift shops themed to old Hollywood and the film industry.
On the left-hand side of Sunset Blvd you’ll find a number of quick service dining options at the Sunset Ranch Market, so stop and have a snack if you are hungry.
Further down on the right you’ll find arguably Hollywood Studios’ best nighttime spectacular, Fantasmic! It’s located in an open amphitheater after walking down a winding path.
Sunset Boulevard is also home to some of Hollywood Studios’ most beloved attractions. The Tower of Terror is impossible to miss as the Hollywood Tower Hotel is straight-ahead from the minute you step onto the street. This is a must-do classic Disney attraction.
Before arriving at the Tower of Terror, if you turn on the left-hand side and proceed under the arches, this will lead you to the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy.
The Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is the biggest thrill ride in the park and the Racing Academy is a cute show for anyone who is a fan of the Cars film franchise and even has an animatronic Lightning McQueen leading the show.
Animation Courtyard
At the end of Hollywood Boulevard and through the iconic giant gate on the right is Animation Courtyard. There isn’t much going on here these days, but it is home to a few important entertainment venues in the park.
Immediately on the left, you’ll see the entrance to the brand-new The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure show. You’ll find the Disney Junior Dance Party! show on the right side of the courtyard. At the very end is the entrance to the Star Wars Launch Bay, a prop museum for Star Wars fans and it holds various Star Wars character meets.
Our favorite area of Animation Courtyard is The Walt Disney Presents attraction. This is really a museum to Walt Disney and shows the evolution of Walt Disney Studios as an animation and film studio and the creation of the Disney Parks. At the end is a touching tribute film to Walt Disney himself.
Pixar Place
The importance of Pixar Place has reduced over the last few years with the Toy Story Land expansion essentially taking away its only attraction, Toy Story Mania! Now it mostly serves as a gateway to Toy Story Land.
If you are looking for characters, this is where you will find the Incredibles, including an Edna Mode meet.
Pixar Place is also home to one of our absolute favorite snacks in Walt Disney World, the Jack-Jack Cookie Num Num! Don’t leave here without one!
Toy Story Land
Opened in 2018, Toy Story Land was an expansion of Pixar Place and became a full Toy Story-themed area. Guests here walk into a version of Andy’s Backyard where he has set up his various toy sets for you to play on.
You’ll see reminders of your favorite childhood toys throughout the area, as well as Christmas lights strung up over decorating the area and Andy’s giant footsteps on the walkways.
The new land kept Toy Story Maina!, just moving the entrance to the other side of the building. There were also 2 new attractions added in Alien Swirling Saucers and Slinky Dog Dash, which quickly became one of the most popular attractions in the park.
If you are hungry, Woody’s Lunch Box is also one of our favorite quick service restaurants at Hollywood Studios with yummy sandwiches, lunch box tarts, and totchos!!
We think there were some shortcuts taken with the design of Toy Story Land and there are things that will hopefully be improved on in the coming years, but it definitely has been a positive addition to the park, giving kids more things to do.
Commissary Lane
This is not really a full-blown land, but more like a mini-area that is located in between the Chinese Theater and the upcoming Grand Avenue.
There isn’t much to see here, but it is home to the Sci-Fi Dine-In restaurant, and the ABC Commissary quick service restaurant.
Grand Avenue
Grand Avenue is the former home of the Streets of America area, styled after a version of present-day Los Angeles, and tries to recapture the look and feel of the city.
It’s home to multiple dining options with a quick service restaurant (PizzeRizzo’s), a table service restaurant (Mamma Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano), and one of our favorite lounges (BaseLine Tap House).
Muppets Courtyard is now a part of Grand Avenue and it’s where you will find the timeless MuppetVision 3D. This is a hilarious show that is full of cheap 3D tricks that you just can’t help but laugh at.
The tunnel at the end of Grand Avenue is a recreation of the famous Figueroa Street Tunnel in Los Angeles, only here it brings you into a whole other galaxy…
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
This is the crown jewel of theme park lands and Disney’s newest addition to Hollywood Stars. As the most ambitious new land in Disney history, Galaxy’s Edge transports you to the planet of Batuu and into the smuggler’s hideout of Black Spire Outpost.
This is definitely the most immersive land in the park and it merits a few hours to fully explore. Everyone is in theme here, even the cast members sell you on the idea you are in another world.
Right now, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has two rides, Rise of the Resistance and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. Both are exceptional, but Rise of the Resistance is in a league of its own and has set the bar extremely high for future Disney attractions.
There are plenty of dining options in Galaxy’s Edge with Docking Bay 7 and Ronto Roasters both solid options for a quick meal. The star however is Oga’s Cantina, a bar that makes you feel like you are right in the middle of a Star Wars film.
Galaxy’s Edge is also full of unique shopping experiences, with the Droid Depot, Savi’s Workshop, and Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities all extremely popular with guests.
There is no mistake that Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is where you will want to spend a good portion of your time when visiting Hollywood Studios. Read our full guide to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge where we share more details and all our best tips when visiting.

Ever since opening day in 1989, Hollywood Studios (MGM Studios) has always been light on the overall number of attractions which has been a sore spot among guests. Disney has tried to remedy that in recent years and the park has gone through a huge transformation with increased emphasis on rides.
Since 2018 alone, the park has added 7 new attractions, giving them 14 in total. This has helped, but more will need to be added in the coming years due to continual overcrowding.
Some of the best rides in Hollywood Studios are thrill rides like The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, and Slinky Dog Dash.
Disney has done a lot however to make the park more kid-friendly and has added rides the whole family can do like Rise of the Resistance, Smugglers Run, and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway.

Hollywood Studios Must Do’s
While Hollywood Studios might not have the highest number of attractions, it arguably has the best group of must-do attractions of all 4 Disney World theme parks. Here is a list of our favorites:
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance – This is more than just a ride, it’s a one-of-a-kind experience. Rise of the Resistance takes you on an epic journey using 4 ride systems, dozens of audio-animatronics, and live actors to make the story real.
With some of the most amazing special effects ever created, this is the most advanced attraction Disney has ever built and should be the number one thing on your list to do when visiting Hollywood Studios.
It’s really important you read our guide on Riding Rise of the Resistance with the Standby Queue for the latest tips and strategies. It can be very difficult to ride so all the help you can get is needed. If it goes back to using the virtual queue (like sometimes during special events), our article on Rise of the Resistance Boarding Groups explains how to get a reservation for this ride.
Twilight Zone Tower of Terror – When this came online in 1995, it was the moment that Hollywood Studios really started coming into its own. The Tower of Terror is a classic dark drop ride that tells the story of a group of people who mysteriously disappeared from the hotel in the 1930s.
This is one of the most beloved and thrilling attractions in Disney World and not for the faint of heart or whoever doesn’t like closed spaces or dropping.
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway – The newest addition to Hollywood Studios, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is the first full ride dedicated to Mickey Mouse. Guests of all ages will love this trackless dark ride located in the Chinese Theater, the former home to the Great Movie Ride.
Slinky Dog Dash – It’s impossible to miss Slinky Dog Dash when visiting Toy Story Land. All you have to do is follow the screams of the guests whizzing overhead in the roller coaster cars. Built from Andy’s Dash and Dodge Mega Coaster Kit, it’s an incredibly smooth roller coaster that’s not overly intense, and doable for most of the family.
Toy Story Mania! – For years Toy Story Mania! was the most popular attraction in Hollywood Studios, and though that’s not true anymore, we still love jumping on this 3D attraction/game hybrid based in the Toy Story universe.
You’ll want to ride again and again to try and beat your previous high score!
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run – This is Galaxy’s Edge’s “second” attraction, but an amazing achievement on its own. Riders board the iconic Millennium Falcon and go on a secret smuggling mission into the outer rim.
The ride is a flight simulation and the cool part is each guest must fulfill a role to successfully complete the mission. You may even get to pilot the Millennium Falcon yourself!
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster – If you are a fan of thrills, you will love the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. Jam out to Aerosmith as they send you through the busy Los Angeles traffic on your way to the big concert. Just be aware there are inversions and the ride reaches speeds of 60 mph.
Star Tours: The Adventures Continue – Before Galaxy’s Edge there was Star Tours. This classic space flight simulator puts you right in the middle of the Star Wars universe and brings you to many of your favorite locations right from the films.
MuppetVision 3D – If you are a fan of the Muppets, you can’t miss this hilarious 3D show. Join Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the rest of the gang as they perfect their latest invention: “Muppet*Vision, and laugh at all of the corny jokes and “cheap 3D tricks.”
Lightning Lane Multi and Single Passes
Recently Disney made a huge change to how guests tour its theme parks by eliminating the FastPass+ system and replacing it with the Disney Lightning Lane system. This Lightning Lane system includes both the Multi and the Single Pass. What are the differences? And what does all this mean?
- Disney Genie is a free service in the My Disney Experience app that helps you plan out your day.
- Lightning Lane Multi Pass is a paid version most reminiscent of FastPass+ that lets you make attraction reservations ahead of time and skip the lines ranging from roughly $16-39 per person, per day. The price is dependent on the park in which you select to choose your first 3 attractions.
- Lightning Lane Single Pass let you pay to skip the line on a specific ride for one time only and not the whole day. It’s essentially an a la carte offering to pay for one ride. Not many rides offer this, only the most popular rides in the parks.
- Lightning Lane Premier Pass lets you skip the lines for any LL attraction in a given theme park without having to make reservations. From $129 to $449 per person, per day.
Lightning Lane will have a big impact on your next trip to Hollywood Studios, whether you are using it or not. The fact is that with this new pay-to-ride system, guests who are not willing to pay will have to wait even longer than normal. You will need to take this into consideration when planning your day and estimating wait times for the attractions.
You can make your Multi Pass and Single Pass reservations using the My Disney Experience app on your smartphone or on your computer. For guests staying at a Disney World Resort hotel, you can choose to make your Lightning Lane selections up to seven days prior to the start of your trip. (Up to 14 days in total)
And guests NOT staying at a Disney World Resort can select their passes up to three days in advance of their visit to the park. Just keep in mind that you will need to have a valid theme park admission prior to making your Lightning Lane selections. And if you have an older ticket type, you might need to make a Theme Park Reservation still.
If you are going to Hollywood Studios, you need to consider taking advantage of either Lightning Lane Single or Multi Pass. While it’s not as advantageous here as it is at some of the other parks, if you are pressed for time it can be a big help.
The best choices for your Lightning Lane Multi Pass selections at Hollywood Studios are any of the following:
- Slinky Dog Dash
- Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
- Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
- Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
- Tower of Terror
- Toy Story Mania!
Pick as many from that list as you can as they are the best choices. The rest of the attractions at Hollywood Studios typically have shorter wait times and you should prioritize Lightning Lane selections on the above-listed attractions first.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is currently the only Lightning Lane Single Pass attraction, so if you want to skip the lines there, you need to pay à la carte.
If you don’t want to pay for either a Lightning Lane selection you can still wait in a traditional standby queue, it will just take a bit longer.
Virtual Queue
In 2019 Disney introduced a new attraction queuing system called the Virtual Queue. Instead of using traditional queues, this new system is designed to control crowds and let guests skip waiting in line for participating attractions.
Guests joining the virtual queue are assigned to a boarding group for that attraction with a group number. Once that number is called, guests can head to the attraction queue. Boarding groups are assigned using the My Disney Experience app.
Right now, there are no attractions using the Virtual Queue in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, though Rise of the Resistance was using it for almost 2 years. We’ll keep an eye on this and see if any attractions are added.
Read our post on Disney’s Virtual Queue & Boarding Groups to get a better understanding of how the system works.
What’s New Coming to Hollywood Studios?
Over the last few years, Disney’s Hollywood Studios has gone through a tremendous transformation, getting rid of some older attractions and areas in the park to make space for Toy Story Land, Galaxy’s Edge, and all the new attractions with them.
At the D23 Convention in August 2024, Disney announced plans for an immersive Monstropolis Land – an all-new land based on the popular movie Monsters Inc! This exciting new land will also feature Disney’s first-ever suspended roller coaster! While we don’t know the exact timeline for when this is going, we expect it’ll be a few years away.
The only thing that’s opened up recently is the Roundup Rodeo BBQ restaurant in Toy Story Land. It’s a cute table service restaurant with all you can eat barbecue, themed to Woody, Buzz and all the other Toy Story characters.
Besides that, there are no other upcoming projects planned for Hollywood Studios at this time. We hope to soon hear plans on the former Galactic Starcruiser Hotel that is connected to Hollywood Studios.
We’ll let you know as soon as we hear of any new attractions that are coming.
Here are a few links if you are interested in knowing what new attractions are coming to the rest of Walt Disney World soon:

- Rosie’s All-American Café
- The Trolley Car Café
- Woody’s Lunch Box
The number and quality of counter service dining options have greatly increased at Hollywood Studios over the last few years, with the entire food scene in the park changing after Toy Story Land and Galaxy’s Edge opened.
There are currently 20 counter service restaurants at Hollywood Studios, and a good majority of them range from good to excellent. These are great options when you would rather spend your time on the attractions instead of sitting down for a meal.
Our favorite quick service restaurants in Hollywood Studios are:
- Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo
- Woody’s Lunch Box
- Ronto Roasters
- ABC Commissary
- The Trolley Car Café
All of these are solid choices, and Docking Bay 7 and Woody’s Lunch Box are among the very best in Disney World.
Make sure to take advantage of Disney’s Mobile Ordering service which allows you to order your food ahead and skip the lines at quick service restaurants.
Table Service Restaurants
- 50’s Prime Time Café
- Hollywood & Vine
- The Hollywood Brown Derby
- Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano
- Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant
- Roundup Rodeo BBQ
If there is a weak spot in Hollywood Studios dining, the table service restaurants would certainly be it. Right now there are only 5 options in the whole park, but there is at least one more coming soon.
Out of the 5 restaurants, there is only 1 character meal. Even though choices are slim, we happen to really like all of them.
Our favorite table service restaurants at Hollywood Studios are:
- 50’s Prime Time Cafe
- The Hollywood Brown Derby
- Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant
For more info, read our post on the Best Hollywood Studios Restaurants for our recommendations on where and what to eat when you visit.
Since Hollywood Studios is more crowded during the day and wait times for attractions decrease in the evening, we encourage you to make a reservation for lunch if eating at a table service restaurant. This allows you to enjoy the air-conditioning during the hottest part of the day, and enjoy the rides when some guests have gone home.
Whenever you decide to eat a sit-down meal, make sure you make advanced dining reservations ahead of time, especially for the 50’s Prime Time Cafe as it books up really fast. Dining reservations can be made 180 days in advance which we highly recommend.
Read our guide to Disney Advanced Dining Reservations for more info.
Bars & Lounges
- BaseLine Tap House
- The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge
- Oga’s Cantina
- Sunshine Day Bar
- Tune-In Lounge
Drinking Alcohol
Alcohol is plentiful at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and can be found in all table service restaurants, most quick service locations, and the bars and lounges in the park. There are nice options for beer, wine, or cocktails.
Our absolute favorite is Oga’s Cantina. Here it is like stepping into a Star Wars cantina and every drink on the menu is an out-of-this-world take on classic drinks. The atmosphere is unreal and DJ-R3X keeps the place hopping with his intergalactic playlist.
For a trip back in time, head to the Tune-In Lounge at the entrance to 50’s Prime Time Cafe. It’s like going for drinks at your grandma’s house, but way more fun!
If you like beer, the BaseLine Tap House in Grand Avenue offers incredible flights as well as the best pretzels at Walt Disney World!

Special Events & Experiences
Disney’s Hollywood Studios doesn’t have as many special events throughout the year as some of the other parks, but there are still some worth coming for. It makes up for it however in experiences, especially those available in Galaxy’s Edge.
Events
Disney After Hours – Just like the after hours events in the other parks, this hard-ticketed event allows guests to enjoy the park with a VIP-like experience. These events have very few people so it’s likely you will experience your favorite attractions with little to no waiting in line. All-you-can-eat snacks and drinks are also provided to offset the extra cost.
Disney’s Jollywood Nights – This after hours ticketed event takes place between November and December, featuring special holiday fun including fireworks, entertainment, characters and food and drink.
Sunset Seasons Greetings – This special event happens during the holiday season when the Hollywood Tower Hotel comes to life with 4 Disney holiday scenes.
Experiences
Droid Depot – This is where you can customize and build your own astromech droid to take home with you. Choose between an R2 or BB model droid which are remote controlled. A great gift idea for kids especially, or big kids like myself.
Savi’s Workshop Lightsaber-building – Don’t tell me you’ve never wanted to build your own lightsaber before..well now you have that chance at Savi’s Workshop in Galaxy’s Edge. Not only do you get to build and customize your own lightsaber, but the cast members really bring the whole thing to life and leave you with one of those “jaw-dropping” moments.
If you don’t want to build a custom lightsaber, head over to Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities where you can choose from one of the many Star Wars Legacy Lightsabers belonging to your favorite heroes and villains.
Tours
Like all of the theme parks, you can find some behind-the-scenes tours at Hollywood Studios that will show you things you’ve never seen before and give you a new view of the park.
Star Wars Guided Tour – (Not currently offered) This is the ultimate tour for Star Wars fans. Lasting 7 hours long, the Star Wars Guided tour shows you everything related to the fan-favorite franchise at Hollywood Studios, including VIP access.
Best Tips for Touring Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Whether it’s your first time visiting Hollywood Studios or if you’re an experienced vet, here are some more tips that will help you have the best time possible.
Make sure to read our Hollywood Studios Touring Plans post for more detailed instructions and full-day itineraries.
Best Days to Visit Hollywood Studios
Of course, any day of the week is a good day to be at Hollywood Studios Disney World, but if you plan it right, some days are better and give you an advantage with the crowds.
The answer here is going to depend on how many days you have in Disney World and how many of those days you want to spend at the theme parks.
If you aren’t rushed for time, we suggest avoiding the theme parks on the weekends. Not only do you have to compete with tourists on the weekend, but the local crowds always visit the parks more on Saturday and Sunday.
Monday is the best day of the week to visit Hollywood Studios. Most guests arriving on Sunday will make the Magic Kingdom the first park they visit and do it on Monday. That leaves the other parks less crowded.
If you have to visit the parks on the weekend, Hollywood Studios is not a bad choice. Right now it’s pretty packed every day, but the other parks have bigger fluctuation between weekdays and weekends.
It makes more sense then, to avoid the other parks on the weekend and go to Hollywood Studios if forced to choose.
Make sure to read our post on The Best Times to Go to Disney World which takes into consideration all the factors and breaks it down month by month.
How Many Days Do You Need at Hollywood Studios?
Many are under the impression that Hollywood Studios is only a half-day park and not worth staying all day. While that may be true if you only want to do a couple of attractions, you will need significantly more time if you really want to experience it all.
For first-timers, Hollywood Studios is a full-day park, You might even need two days if you want to ride all the attractions and see all the shows.
This is especially true since Rise of the Resistance opened. Whether it is using a standby queue or the boarding pass system, it’s the most popular attraction at Walt Disney World and depending on the crowds it could take quite a bit of time to ride. It’s also possible that it could break down the day you are visiting. To be safe, we recommend spending two days at Hollywood Studios during your visit.
Have a Plan
Do the most important things early in the day in case those attractions close down unexpectedly later in the day, leaving you without other opportunities to ride.
Since there is so much to do and see at Hollywood Studios, you are going to need to have a good plan. Well before you go, decide which attractions, shows, and characters are the most important to your family and prioritize your day around those.
If you are really crunched for time you can make Lightning Lane reservations, and rope drop Hollywood Studios for the other rides.
Look at the list of restaurants and read the menus too. Then make dining reservations for any table service restaurants you want to go to.
If you only have 1 day to visit, make sure it is a FULL day. Get an early start and stay until park closing if possible. That will allow you to see almost everything in one day.
Make Time to Explore Galaxy’s Edge
A big part of your plan should be visiting Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Don’t be one of those people that just rides the attractions and then moves on to the next area. Galaxy’s Edge is a marvel of Disney Imagineering and deserves to be seen right.
Besides the attractions, there are many cool shops in the marketplace area of Black Spire Outpost, with unique Star Wars gifts that can only be found in Galaxy’s Edge.
Look at the insane level of detail that went into each of the buildings and if you are a big Star Wars fan, look for the hundreds of Easter eggs hidden throughout the land.
We also suggest trying as much of the food in Galaxy’s Edge as possible as the dining locations have some of the most unique offerings in Disney World.
Drink Enough Water
This is good advice no matter where you are in Walt Disney World. Hollywood Studios and the other theme parks are extremely hot, especially from May – October. That means you need to stay hydrated and drink enough water while you are there.
All the quick-service restaurants at Hollywood Studios give out paper cups of free ice water, so make sure you stop by often throughout the day.
Go at Night
Visiting the Walt Disney World theme parks at night is always an incredible experience, and Hollywood Studios is no exception. In fact, we prefer going at night rather than during the day.
As you know, Florida is very hot during the day, so going at night is already better knowing the temperature will be a few degrees cooler and you don’t have to deal with the blazing sun all day long.
On top of that, the nighttime shows in Hollywood Studios are great and worth sticking around for. Not everyone wants to do a theme park from sunrise to sunset, so if you haven’t seen them before and don’t want to stay all day, we suggest going a little later and staying until park closing.
This way you can see the nighttime shows and also benefit from lower crowds as the night goes on.
What Can I Bring with Me To Hollywood Studios?
Guests visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida are allowed to bring their own food and non-alcoholic beverages into the park, with certain restrictions. Any food or drink must be for self-consumption, must not require heating, or refrigeration, and must not be stored in a glass container.
If you want to bring some small snacks with you like chips, candy, granola, or protein bars, that might be a good idea if you get hungry while waiting in line or if you are on a tight budget and looking to save money.
Even though you can get free cups of tap water at Hollywood Studios, you might want to bring a couple of bottles with you.
I highly recommend bringing a small backpack with you to the parks, to hold snacks, your camera, a fan, small towels, or any other necessary things.
As with all the parks, make sure you wear comfortable shoes to Hollywood Studios as all-day on your feet can be rough.

History
Even though Disney’s Hollywood Studios has only been around since 1989, it has an interesting history and has changed more than any of the 4 Walt Disney World theme parks.
The park started out as the pet project of then-Disney CEO Michael Eisner. When he took over as Disney CEO, he developed an aggressive expansion plan for the Florida resort, which included building a 3rd theme park.
Eisner wanted to give guests the experience of going behind the scenes of a real, working TV and Film studio and let fans see up close all that goes into making their favorite productions. Disney then signed a working contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for rights to the MGM brand and logo. The name of the park then became: Disney-MGM Studios.
With the pending arrival of Universal Studios Orlando, Disney was also under pressure to open MGM Studios as quickly as possible, and as a result, it only had two real attractions ready by opening day on May 1, 1989 (The Great Movie Ride and Studio Backlot Tour).
Disney-MGM Studios underwent its first expansion project in 1994 with the creation of The Twilight Tower of Terror, which was an immediate hit with guests. There was another big expansion in 1999 with the opening of the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster featuring Aerosmith.
In 2001, a giant blue sorcerer’s hat was constructed at the end of Hollywood Boulevard and took over as the park’s icon, replacing the Earful Tower.
2008 was a big year for the park as Disney made the name rebranding of the park official, changing it from Disney-MGM Studios to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Later in 2008, Toy Story Mania! opened and quickly became the park’s most popular attraction.
In the following years, Disney started phasing out all of the studio-themed attractions which were the main focus at the park’s beginning. Attractions were closed down like the Studio Backlot Tour, American Idol Experience, the Streets of America, the Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show, and the Earffel Tower.
Plans were announced for Toy Story Land and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, which would take over these newly empty plots of land. Toy Story Land opened on June 30, 2018, followed by Galaxy’s Edge on August 29, 2019.
The last remnants of MGM Studios were erased from the park on August 13, 2017, when The Great Movie Ride took its last trip through the movies. Its replacement attraction, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway opened in the Chinese Theater on March 4, 2020.
