Thursday–Basic Itinerary

BASIC HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS ITINERARY sb11

Update April 2013: the Hollywood Studios afternoon parade had its last scheduled run on April 6, 2013. In case a new parade returns–and I’m not sure if one will, see this–I’ve left a spot for it in your day. See the second half of this for how to change your day while there is no afternoon parade.

Sleep in, have breakfast in your room and lunch at your hotel counter (counter credit) and be at Disney’s Hollywood Studios by 2:30p.
AT THE PARK

• Be at the Studios by 2:30p
• Watch the 3p parade from the Sunset Boulevard side of Mickey’s hat
• See the 3:30 Beauty and the Beast, Live on Stage
• See any other shows you missed earlier this week
• See Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream, and The Magic of Disney Imagination
• If you have time, see Playhouse Disney Live on Stage and then Sounds Dangerous—unless you have kids younger than 6, don’t worry if you have to skip both; if you have younger kids, and have to skip one, skip Sounds Dangerous
• Be in line by 5:30p for Fantasmic
• See the 6:30p Fantasmic
• Have dinner when convenient (counter credit)
• Return to your hotel
