Disney's Hollywood Studios

Hollywood Studios used to be dismissed as a half-day park because of its size and show-based attractions. The Studios still has few rides, but it also contains some of the best attractions at Walt Disney World. Navigate Hollywood Studios using the TouringPlans suite of tools and don't waste any more of your vacation time than necessary in line for rides like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Slinky Dog Dash, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, or Toy Story Mania. Our tools maximize your time in the park so that you can ride the rides you want to, see the shows you don't want to miss, have great dining experiences, and be entertained instead of slogging through crowds without a plan.

Every morning at Disney's Hollywood Studios, guests flock to the entrance of the headliner attractions. Crowds in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and Toy Story Land are either busy or insane! However, there are lots of tips and tricks you can learn to make sure you pick the right day to visit The Studios. Our Crowd Calendar will tell you how busy or insane it will be every day for the next year and our Touring Plans will tell you exactly how long you will wait in line when you visit, and in what order to ride the attractions to minimize that wait.

Picking the right day to visit Hollywood Studios means knowing when not to visit. Check out our lists of park hours, park schedules and Refurbishments & Closures. If your group has little padawans, you may want to sign up for the Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple.

"TouringPlans' crowd calendar, blog, restaurant information, personalized touring plans, and especially the Lines chat were a big part of our planning. Plus, we used Lines to optimize our touring plans while in the parks for even shorter lines. Touringplans.com has all the tools you need for navigating and enjoying WDW!"
