An argument can be made that Hollywood Studios may be Disney World’s “best” park when judged purely on rides, as Rise of the Resistance, Slinky Dog Dash, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Millenium Falcon Smugglers Run, Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets, Toy Story Mania, Star Tours, and Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway all call the park home.


Look before you GO GO GO!


Given all those rides – – along with the highly anticipated Monsters, Inc. door coaster coming to Monstropolis – – pretty much every guest who walks through the recreation of the Pan Pacific Auditorium that serves as the park’s entrance is looking for ways to squeeze more rides into their day at the former MGM Studios. There is one way to do it, but it takes a sacrifice.



Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

Guests wanting to squeeze in more rides should consider skipping the park’s nighttime spectacular, Fantasmic!


Fantasmic!


Now, don’t get us wrong, we’re fans of the long-running night time show that sees Mickey Mouse battling Disney’s villains amindst a cacohpny of fireworks and music (even though it has never quite lived up to the Disnelyand original) but given the large crowds that flock to the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater, skipping it is a great way to hope on some of the park’s most popular rides.


Fantasmic! crowds


Lines can be comparatively shorter for high-profile attractions as Fantasmic!’s 9:00 showtime nears, especially in Galaxy’s Edge, which is located all the way across the park from Fantasmic!


New missions on Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run


While you’re riding all those rides, you’ll still need to find time to eat. Our Guide to Disney World Dining pulls it all together so you can stop stressing and focus on the fun without feeling like you’re missing a thing!

This trick can be especially helpful if you’re a Disney Deluxe Tier Hotel guest taking advantage of an Extended Evening Hours night at the park and continuing to ride straight through Fantasmic!’s run, park closing to the general public, and the extra two hours that follow.


Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway


While Fantasmic! remains a popular nighttime spectacular nearly 30 years after its Walt Disney World debut, skipping the show can be the key to getting on even more of Hollywood Studios’ most popular attractions. Stay tuned to Magical Guides for more Disney World tips.
