Theme Park Insider - Park Review

Disney's Hollywood Studios was the third theme park to open at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, debuting May 1, 1989 as the Disney-MGM Studios. The park once was a working film, TV and animation studio in addition to hosting rides and shows, but attractions have taken over almost all the old production space.

This year's top new attraction is the 3D revamp of the popular Star Wars ride, Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, joining Toy Story Midway Mania as the park's top destinations. Get to the park at opening, get a FastPass ride reservation for one ride, then go ride the other before the line gets too long.

Other popular attractions at Disney's Hollywood Studios include The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Starring Aerosmith. At the end of the day, the park presents the live action and fireworks spectacular, Fantasmic! Plan to arrive early to get a seat, or book a special dinner and a show seat package by calling 407-WDW-DINE.

Buy your tickets in advance on Disney's website, or as part of a Disney hotel stay. Check Disney's website for park operating hours, too.
