Top 10 Must Do's at Disney's Hollywood Studios



Disney's Hollywood Studios has so many amazing attractions and entertainment that this Top 10 Must Do list was incredibly difficult to narrow down!  After much internal debate, here are my top 10 Must Do's at Disney's Hollywood Studios. (Plus an Honorable Mention because I just couldn't narrow the list down!)

10.  For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration 
Relive the magic of Disney's Frozen with this sing-along spectacular!  If you just can't get enough of the songs from Frozen, this is the attraction for you!  Even if you don't love Frozen or are slightly sick of it, it's worth a visit at least once.  The 30 minute show is actually pretty funny with the help of some Arendelle Royal Historians who relive the tale of your favorite Frozen characters.  You also get to sing-along to the amazing songs and the oh-so-popular, "Let It Go"!  Don't be ashamed to belt out the lyrics because everyone else in the theater will be doing it!

9. Fantasmic!
Fantasmic! is Hollywood Studio's nighttime entertainment spectacular.  It combines pyrotechnics, lights, dancing water, a great musical score and a ton of Disney characters.  The show takes place nightly in the open-air amphitheater, and occasionally has two shows a night. Visit the My Disney Experience app to check show times. If they are showing two shows, go to the second one for lighter crowds.  You can also purchase a Fantasmic! Dinner Package to get reserved seating. 


8. Star Tours - The Adventure Continues
Explore a galaxy far, far away on the reimagined Star Tours!  Based on the blockbuster Stars Wars series, the attraction combines characters and locations from the movies with 3D video, Audio-Animatronic characters, special effects and music. There are more than 250 storyline variations so you get a unique experience each time you visit.  Who knows?  You may even be the Rebel Spy on your next flight!  If you love Star Wars, this is a major must do!

7. The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Is your party dragging right at rope drop?  There's nothing like dropping in on the Hollywood Tower Hotel to wake everyone up!  The Tower of Terror has, quite possibly, one of the best back stories and theming of any Walt Disney World attraction.  The attraction is based on the popular television series which aired from 1959 to 1964.  Take a look around the lobby and the library to see some artifacts from some episodes of The Twilight Zone.

6. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith
There is something about roller coasters and rock music that just work great together. If you are a thrill ride junkie, then Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is the ride for you! It's a roller coaster in the dark complete with three inversions. The best part of this ride is the launch. You go from 0 to 60mph in 2.8 seconds!

5. Toy Story Midway Mania
Simply put, this attraction is so much fun!  It combines 3D and 4D effects, competition and Toy Story so it's hard for it not to be great.  It's also a fun competition to see who can get the highest score. 

4. Millenium Falcon: Smugglers Run
There was no way I could write this Must Do list without including flying the Millennium Falcon! I mean, who hasn't dreamed of flying the Millennium Falcon?! This attraction let's you take control of the fastest ship in the galaxy as either the pilot, engineer or gunner. It's a major Must Do for any Star Wars fan. 

3. Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway
The first attraction to feature the mouse that started it all, Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway is based on the award-winning Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts, available on Disney+, and features Mickey and his pals on a zany adventure through their cartoon universe. It also has an incredibly catchy song so be prepared to sing it for the rest of the day!

2. Slinky Dog Dash
This family-friendly coaster isn't just a fun ride, it's super cute too with a ton of neat details! Located in Toy Story Land, Slinky Dog Dash takes you on a wild ride through Andy's backyard with curves, drops, and a neat launch sequence. Make sure to keep an eye out for Wheezy who serenades you with a song toward the conclusion of the ride. 

1. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
 Even if you're not a Star Wars fan. It's a massive attraction with multiple ride systems that is unlike anything you've ever experienced. It's the ultimate Must Do attraction in all of Walt Disney World! 

As you can see, there is a lot of competition to get to the top of our Must Do list!  There are so many wonderful attractions to choose from that you really can't go wrong at this park.

Cruising with a Baby: A Complete Guide

You took a baby on a cruise!? Yep, and I'd do it again knowing what I know now. So, say goodbye to months of research - Everything you need to know is here!! One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise   We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug...

Universal's Volcano Bay Private Cabana Review

On a recent training in Universal Orlando Resort, the agents rented a private cabana for the day at Universal's Volcano Bay. There are multiple locations around the park along with the option to have an upper or lower level, all of which reflect in various pricing. We received an email the day before informing her of where to check-in the next morning. While we were personally escorted to the cabana shortly after check in, the line at the check in location is the same as those getting towels, meaning it was not short. As expressed by an additional guest checking into a different cabana, we would have greatly appreciated a separate line, since this caused our group about a half hour wait. We're all adults and made great use of our time getting some fun pictures before the park was filled with guests, but this is important to be aware of if you are traveling with children.  We had an upper level Cabana which came with a splendid view! We arrived to a welcome basket of various fr...

The Villas at the Disneyland Hotel Review

I love staying at the Disneyland Hotel so when I got the opportunity to stay at the new Villas at the Disneyland Hotel during opening weekend, I couldn’t pass it up. Because it was opening weekend, we were greeted in the entrance way of the lobby with balloons and many photo opportunities. When we arrived, there was a mural of the Haunted Mansion. I love how the seats in the main lobby were designed like the teacups in the parks. You can check in using the Disneyland app, drop your bags with bell services and head into the parks or use the amenities why you wait until your room is ready. When your room is ready, the resort will send you a text and you can use the Disneyland app on your mobile device to unlock the room. We dropped off our bags and went straight to the parks. We received a text around 1PM that our room was ready. In the new Discovery Tower (the Villas), you'll find that the lobby is very spacious with many places to sit while you read or wait for your family. Th...
