Need to know the top 10 things to do at Hollywood Studios? With rising ticket prices at Walt Disney World, it’s a good idea to maximize your day in one park. That way you can skip the park hopper ticket! Here’s our list of Disney Must-Dos at Hollywood Studios.

Hollywood Studios Park and What To Do There

So, we’ve written before about Hollywood Studios.  From the Best Hollywood Studios Restaurants to why we think you should be excited for Woody’s Rodeo Roundup BBQ!

Add in iconic shows, and even the Best Hollywood Studios Snacks and you may find yourself visiting this park more than once during your vacation.

What Should I Not Miss at Hollywood Studios?

Be sure to check out our Hollywood Studios Bucket List so you can be sure not to miss a thing, and our Best Days to Visit Which Disney Park post for our top days to avoid crowds. Ok, in no particular order, here are the things we most love about Hollywood Studios and why. If you’re looking to smash your experience into one day at this park, here are the things that most deserve your time. 

Star Wars Rise of The Resistance 

Found in Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge, Rise of the Resistance is a larger-than-life ride combining a pre-show experience with a trackless dark ride featuring all your favorite Star Wars characters as you join the rebels and try to outrun the First Order. This is Lightning Lane Pass worthy and a longer ride with a pre-show, so head to Galaxy’s Edge and make the time for it!

Woody’s Lunch Box

We love Woody’s Lunch Box for a hearty breakfast that is budget-friendly. Or you can grab one of those delicious homemade lunch box tarts, offered in different flavor combinations seasonally. And if you’re stuck on what to have for lunch, the grilled cheese and tomato soup here always hits the spot. Check out our full review of Woody’s Lunch Box in Toy Story Land.

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway

Hollywood Studios’ newest ride is the first to feature Mickey and Minnie! This 2-D ride features sounds from the original Steamboat Willie whistle and all our favorite scenes and songs from the newest Emmy-award-winning Mickey Mouse shorts. Check out everything to know about Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. 

For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-A-Long

Think you’ve heard “Let it Go” one too many times? Think again. This show offers a nice respite from the Florida weather, slapstick comedy at its best, and a re-telling of your favorite story by people who know how to tell it. This Disney show experience gets a Holiday overlay too, so if you’re visiting during Christmas, be sure to stop by! 

Star Tours: The Adventures Continue

This classic Star Wars ride now features multiple storylines, so you never know what’s going to happen each time you ride. And dare we say, we like it better than Smugglers Run. We love this as a family-friendly Star Wars experience.

Slinky the Dog Rollercoaster at Night

Everyone will try to rope drop Slinky Dog Dash. So why not try for a nighttime ride instead. With stringed lights all over Toy Story Land, you can count on amazing views at night and this coaster literally lights up in the darkness. Lines will still be a little long but usually get shorter after 8 pm. And if you’re hanging out waiting for lower crowds, head to Toy Story Mania, one of our favorite rides in Toy Story Land. 

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

The Tower of Terror is Hollywood Studio’s most famous ride. Even if you don’t love the feeling of being dropped in an elevator, the storyline for this classic attraction is worth the visit. And we love the Hollywood Tower Hotel merchandise too, so be sure to check out this gift shop. And the specialty coffees at the Joffrey’s stand nearby are worth the stop. 

Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!

Featuring stunt actors, this experience shows you what it’s really like on the set of a big movie. Complete with explosions, fight scenes, and more! We love that this experience pulls in guests from the crowd, and offers a little respite from the Florida heat.
