Disney's Hollywood Studios Touring Tips

 

If you arrive in time for park opening, head straight for the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, then to Tower of Terror. Next go on Star Tours, then the Great Movie Ride. Then see Voyage of the Little Mermaid & MuppetVision 3D. Fit in 'Lights! Motors! Action!' in between according to showtimes.

Check out the tip boards for current attraction wait times, one is at the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard & Sunset Boulevard, the other is on New York Street.

The most popular attractions are the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, 'Lights! Motors! Action!', Tower of Terror, Great Movie Ride & Star Tours.

On the Tower of Terror, follow the left queue from the basement, it's usually shorter.

On the Tower of Terror, when you enter the library, walk over to the far corner (diagonal from the door), you will then be first through the door for the ride.

If you plan on seeing any of the live shows, check the times on the guidemap then plan other attraction visits between the show times. The earlier shows will be less crowded.

To get a good seat at shows, you need to arrive at least 30 minutes before the scheduled show time. You'll be entertained by the pre-show while you wait.

At MuppetVision 3D, any seat in the theater has a good view. Be sure to catch the pre-show.

Seats at Beauty and the Beast show are adequately raised, but seats at the front still offer the best views.

In Voyage of the Little Mermaid, all seats are good, but seats towards the centre have the best view of the special effects.

Queues at most attractions will be shortest during Fantasmic.

If there are two showings of Fantasmic, see the second, it will be less crowded.

To get a good seat for Fantasmic, you need to get in line around 1.5 hours early, or earlier on very busy days. The pre-show is good & keeps you entertained until showtime.

People sitting on the first few rows at Fantasmic will get wet from the spray off the water screens.

The quietest rest rooms are just outside the main entrance, inside the Hollywood Brown Derby, and inside Mama Melrose's.

"After you exit the theater of Drew Carey's Sounds Dangerous, you come to a room with different activities. Most people just pass these by, but you shouldn't. The station where you can record you voice over a scene from a movie or TV show is especially fun. Also, if you really liked Sounds Dangerous, there are booths with headphones that offer a similar 3-D sound experience."

"One of the best days to go is an overcast day in the summer especially august. Tourists not aware of the intense humidity and sporadic rain showers of Florida will be scared away but it will still ne "nice" and warm."
