Top 5 Must Do Attractions at Hollywood Studios

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is always changing, but one thing that’s constant is that it offers some of the best thrill rides and shows in all of Walt Disney World.

These are my Top 5 Must Do rides and attractions when we visit the park!

5. March of the First Order

As Star Wars slowly takes over Hollywood Studios (who is else is excited for Galaxy’s Edge?!), this show is by far one of the coolest. Line up on Hollywood Boulevard to watch the First Order come storming through the park. It’s exhilarating to watch, even if you aren’t a huge fan (I wasn’t initially and still loved seeing this). The march takes place every hour in the afternoon, so lots of chances to catch it!

WDW Park Planners Recommendation: for all ages and levels of Star Wars fandom!

4. Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage

Who doesn’t love this tale as old as time?! This Broadway-esque stage show is just a feel-good attraction for the family and one of my favorite shows in WDW. Sit back and relax as you are whisked away into the classic story of Beauty and the Beast. Singing along is always encouraged 🙂

3. Tower of Terror

This Hollywood Studios icon is a must do, if you’re feeling brave! Step aboard if you dare into the Twilight Zone, where you will experience drops and darkness like never before. For an even more thrilling experience, we love to ride this one at night!

2. Toy Story Mania  

This 4D interactive game is so much fun! It’s a step up from the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom, which we also love. Ride through different games, all featuring your favorite Toy Story characters and scenes. Scores are tallied along the way and a winner is announced at the end. If you’re competitive, you won’t want to miss this one!

1. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster

My all-time favorite ride at Hollywood Studios is this famous coaster featuring the one and only Aerosmith band. Everything about this ride is awesome – the theming, the queue and the ride itself. Shoot off in your super-stretch limo from 0 to 60 in about 2 seconds. You have to make it all the way across town for the big show!
