Park Info

Hollywood Studios has some of Walt Disney World's most popular and highly-rated attractions. Don't missMickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, a family-friendly ride with everyone's favorite mouse, and Slinky Dog Dash, Disney's top family-friendly roller coaster.

 

We think Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is the best ride Disney has built in decades.

Disney's Hollywood Studios has something for everyone in your group. Thrills for the teens, live shows for the tots, and musical performances for seniors. Little snowpeople, little Skywalkers, and little rockers will all find one-of-a-kind experiences at Hollywood Studios.

Animation Courtyard

This area is to the right of Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway in the middle of the park. It holds two large theaters used for live stage shows, plus several character-greeting locations. We think it’s just a big swath of asphalt in desperate need of some landscaping or a water feature.

Grand Avenue

The small Grand Avenue, a remnant of the old Streets of America also encompasses what was briefly called Muppet Courtyard, an area containing a Muppets-themed attraction and restaurant. Most of the area around it is a someday-to-be-Star-Wars-Galaxy's-Edge construction zone.

Hollywood Boulevard

This palm-lined thoroughfare re-creates Tinseltown’s main drag during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Most service facilities are here, interspersed with eateries and shops. Merchandise includes Disney trademark items and movie-related souvenirs.

Hollywood characters and roving performers entertain on the boulevard, and other happenings pass this way.

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is a full land themed after the ever-popular Star Wars franchise. The area, which officially opened on August 29, 2019, includes two rides: Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.

Galaxy's Edge is also known as the Black Spire Outpost, a crossroads on the far-flung planet of Batuu. Not long ago, the First Order showed up searching for something, although what that something is remains unknown. Even more recently, the Resistance set up camp in the wooded area of the Outpost and began, well... resisting.

The area has two main sections: The south end is where the Resistance is and this tree-lined area contains the entrance to the Rise of the Resistance attraction as well as a few well-known ships like an A-wing and an X-wing fighter. Leaving the forested area brings you to the Marketplace, a shopping and dining area, where you find most of the inhabitants of the town. At the far north end of the Black Spire Outpost is the section controlled by the Red Fury, the 709th battalion of the First Order. There you will find a TIE Echelon fighter guarded by some comically aggressive stormtroopers.

When you are in Galaxy's Edge you are not on Earth, but on the planet of Batuu and in the middle of the Star Wars movies. Do not expect the inhabitants to discuss Terran problems, but do expect them to talk at length about the goings on of the Black Spire Outpost. In the Star Wars timeline, you are in between the events of Episode VIII: The Last Jedi and Episode IX: Rise of Skywalker.

Toy Story Land

The 11-acre Toy Story Land is the first new land at Disney’s Holly wood Studios in more than 20 years. The idea behind it is that you’ve been shrunk to the size of a toy and placed in Andy’s backyard, where you get to play with other toys he’s set up.

Toy Story Land’s attractions are designed to appeal to younger children and they succeed in being bright and engaging and quite fun.
