Whether you’re acting as Indiana Jones™’ sidekick or braving a 13-story free fall, Walt Disney World® Resort’s homage to Hollywood will make you feel like a star.

The magic of the silver screen comes to life at Disney’s Hollywood Studios®. One of Walt Disney World® Resort’s four theme parks, it feels like a sprawling movie set. Once you step inside its boundaries, you are transported far from Orlando, Florida to the glittering world of Hollywood’s heyday.

Begin your visit at the park’s main entrance, Hollywood Boulevard. Much like its inspiration in Los Angeles, this street is lined with shops and restaurants.

Just off Hollywood Boulevard is Echo Lake, the setting of For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration. Relive the magic and wonder of Disney's animated hit Frozen when two royal historians recount the windswept story of Anna, Elsa and the icy kingdom of Arendelle.

Dive into the imaginative world of today’s most beloved animators at Pixar Place. Carnival games take on a whole new dimension in 4-D at the Toy Story Mania!® Attraction.

Stop by Animation Courtyard to learn how Disney brings its characters to life. Explore Walt Disney's legendary creative legacy through a fascinating multimedia journey that includes rare artifacts.

Disney’s version of Sunset Boulevard offers more excitement than its Los Angeles counterpart. Fantasmic! Show, which is performed after dark, takes you on a magical journey with Mickey Mouse. Enjoy a live condensed telling of Beauty and the Beast. Take a wild ride on the Rock 'n Roller Coaster® Starring Aerosmith, where you are racing against time on the streets of Los Angeles to get to an Aerosmith concert. Thrill seekers love The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™, a 13-story free fall down an elevator shaft that will leave your stomach churning.

The industrial buzz of modern-day Downtown Los Angeles is bottled in the re-imagined Grand Avenue area of Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Reach Disney’s Hollywood Studios® by car or by Walt Disney World Motorcoach or water transportation. It is conveniently located next to Epcot®.

Very long wait time for the new Star Wars rides. We had to get to park gates before 7am just to get a boarding pass for the ride. They message you to say when you can then enter the queue for the ride! We was text around 4.30pm with a 2hr time slot, we then waited in line for 2hrs and the ride broke down just as we was about to enter They issued us with a fast pass to come back the next day at anytime. After all that the ride was okay but certainly not worth all that hassle!

Invest in a water proof pouch to keep valuables/mobile phone etc as saves locker cost, rest of your stuff (clothes/shoes) can be left by a lounger. Link your credit card to taputapu (wearable device provided in admission) so you don’t even need card or cash) in advance and on arrival go to Krakatoa, click onto virtual queue and enjoy other rides until your allotted time. Visit between 7 and 9pm to get onto rides without waiting/minimal wait time.

3/5 - Okay

Too busy and lots of construction. Fastpass choices are too restricting at this park.
