Alright, Hollywood Studios fans – this one is for you! Here’s a rundown of Hollywood Studios from A-Z. Let’s see if your favorite part about Hollywood Studios lands a spot!

A – Aerosmith’s Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster

Get ready to rock and roll with Aerosmith at a 60 mph start into rollover loops and corkscrew, all while cruising along in a super-stretch limo with a 125-speaker, 24 sub-woofer, 32,000-watt audio system. This coaster will leave you a bit dazed but once you get your feet back on the ground, you’ll be ready to get back in line for a second ride!

B – Batuu

C – Chewbacca in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

A legendary Wookiee warrior and Han Solo’s co-pilot aboard the Millennium Falcon, Chewbacca (“Chewie,” for short) came to Batuu aboard the damaged Falcon. He needs special parts to fix his ship and the Resistance needs fresh supplies, so Chewie made a deal to loan Hondo Ohnaka the Millennium Falcon for a few smuggling runs in exchange for the items he desperately needs.

D – Disney Junior Dance Party!

Singing, dancing, and playing with puppets, your kiddos will be thanking you for taking them to this fun show. Plus, just outside of the stage show, you’ll get to meet with some of Disney Junior’s most beloved characters like Mickey Mouse, Timon, Vampirina, and Doc McStuffins.

F – Fantasmic!

Editor’s Note: During the phased reopening of Walt Disney World, nighttime spectaculars, including fireworks shows, are temporarily suspended.

30-minutes of live-action, fireworks, water images, characters, music, and an inspirational plot about dreams coming true lands Fantasmic as one of our absolute favorite parts about Hollywood Studios.

G – Galaxy’s Edge

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is the largest and most technologically advanced single-themed land expansion ever in a Disney park. The 14-acre land transports guests to the remote planet of Batuu, full of unique sights, sounds, smells and tastes. Guests become part of their own Star Wars stories as they experience galactic food and beverages, such as iconic Blue Milk and Green Milk. They can craft their own lightsabers or build their own droids in immersive, interactive retail experiences. They can explore an intriguing collection of merchant shops and may even come across iconic Star Wars characters.

 

H – Hollywood Brown Derby

Pull up a chair for some signature dining at the Hollywood Brown Derby. This American cuisine and star-studded atmosphere will have you feeling as if you’ve landed in the Golden Age of Tinseltown!

I – Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular

Editor’s Note: During the phased reopening of Walt Disney World, Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular is temporarily suspended.

If you have always wanted to experience this entertainment now is the time, as time can only tell how long this production will remain open.

The Supreme Leader of the First Order strikes fear in the hearts of his foes with his imposing mask, long dark robe, iconic hilted red lightsaber and notoriously violent temper. As a highly trained, Force-sensitive warrior, Kylo Ren is determined to root out the Resistance and travels to Batuu to search for and destroy any traces he can find.

L – Lunch Box Tarts

Woody’s Lunch Box is a very popular quick-service restaurant at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Woody’s Lunch Box serves tasty meals and old-fashioned soda floats from a walk-up window in a setting surrounded by Andy’s favorite toys and a giant vintage thermos. Make sure you get the Lunch Box Tarts-available in raspberry and chocolate-hazelnut flavors. Although they are sort of like Pop Tarts in design, these Disney treats are so delicious they blow away a regular Pop-Tart. They were our favorite item on the menu!

M – Midway Mania!

One of the all-time most fun and unique attractions at Disney has to be Toy Story Midway Mania! Ride along on an adventure as a toy in this 4D attraction where you shoot at targets and collect points. We can’t wait to see this attraction expand!

P – Pluto and the Picnic Basket

In the story of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Mickey and Minnie set off on a journey to find the best spot for a romantic picnic, taking their little red convertible for a drive through Runnamuck Park. Little do they know Pluto has accidentally stowed away in the trunk of their car, so when the roadster hits a bump and the dutiful dog flies out … mayhem ensues. It’s at this point Disney magic brings guests through the movie screen and into the cartoon world, where they join Engineer Goofy on a train ride on the Runnamuck Railroad, following Mickey and Minnie through the park on their quest for that perfect picnic. It’s up to Mickey and Minnie to keep guests out of trouble, all while poor Pluto tries to catch up and bring them their picnic basket!

Q – Quiet! Don’t Share the Location of the Secret Base!

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance sets a new standard for what a Disney theme park experience can be, as guests become heroes of the Resistance in a climactic battle with the First Order. In one of the most immersive, ambitious, and technologically advanced attractions ever created for a Disney park, guests launch into space aboard a transport shuttle, only to be captured by a Star Destroyer and pursued by Supreme Leader Kylo Ren as they frantically search for a way to escape the clutches of the First Order. Kylo is trying to get you to spill the beans on the location of the Rebel Base! So be quiet and don’t share!

 

R – Runaway Railway

Mickey and Minnie are starring in their own attraction and we can’t get enough! In this bold and innovative new family adventure, guests go through the movie screen inside the park’s re-creation of the Chinese Theatre and into the whimsical world of Disney Television Animation’s Emmy Award-winning “Mickey Mouse” cartoon shorts. There they discover why “mouse rules apply” and anything can – and does – happen! With an original “Mickey Mouse” story by Walt Disney Imagineering featuring the new song “Nothing Can Stop Us Now,” Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway is a celebration of Disney heritage and a showcase for state-of- the-art storytelling and attraction design.

S – Slinky Dog Dash

The main attraction in Toy Story Land is Slinky Dog Dash. The attraction is a family-friendly thrill ride around Andy’s backyard. In each 18-passenger coaster train, riders zip around and above Toy Story Land, catching great vistas of all the new land has to offer. In a first for a Disney coaster, Slinky Dog Dash features a second launch at its midpoint as riders experience cool sound effects and spinning lights, darting through a series of rings. You’ll actually be pulled back, just like you would pull a toy car back before you dash forward on your way to the attraction’s finale featuring Wheezy, the squeaky penguin from the Toy Story films.

T – Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

It doesn’t matter if you are a hold on tight or stick your hands up in the air type of person when it comes to this attraction. Either way, this Tower of Terror elevator will take your breath away as you plummet 13 floors then back up and down again!

U – Ursula

Editor’s Note: During the phased reopening of Walt Disney World, Voyage of the Little Mermaid is temporarily unavailable.
