Hollywood Studios Day 1 Disney World Updated Multi Pass Itinerary

(Note: this is from the Disney World Updated Multi Pass Itinerary.)

DISNEY’S HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS DAY 1: FIRST SUNDAY AGENDA

Today you will begin your visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Your plan today is to see most of the attractions in the Sunset Boulevard area, including Fantasmic, and in addition across the park see Rise of the Resistance via Lightning Lane Single Pass. You will complete your visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios on another day.

You will take advantage of Early Entry, and also need to have prebooked both Lightning Lane Single Pass and Lightning Lane Multi Pass.

You need a Lightning Lane Single Pass visit to Rise of the Resistance for 1p.

For Multi Passes, I may revise the following recommendations once I know better how a couple of rides that are opening in late May 2025 fit into both Multi Pass and crowd patterns.  But for now, book

• Lightning Lane Multi Pass Tier 1 for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at 9a, and Tier 2 LLMP for Tower of Terror at 10.30a and for For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration 12.30p show

You will have an afternoon break, then return to the park for the evening spectacular Fantasmic.

AT THE PARK

Arrive at the tapstiles at Disney’s Hollywood Studios no later than 45 minutes before Early Entry begins (for example, if the general public opening is 9a, this will mean a 7.45a arrival for an 8.30a Early Entry).

When you are let in for Early Entry, immediately head to Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway and ride it.

Make your way across the park and use your 9a Lightning Lane Multi Pass to ride Rick ‘n’ Roller Coaster.

Get in line for the 10a showing of the new attraction Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After (opens May 27, 2025) and see it.

Use your 10.30a Lightning Lane Multi Pass for Tower of Terror.

See the new attraction (opens May 27, 2025) The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure.

Have an early lunch.

See the 12.30 show of For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration

Use your 1p Lightning Lane Single Pass to see Rise of the Resistance.

You are now off for the rest of the afternoon, needing to return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios in time to see Fantasmic.  Depending on the time of year, the first (or only) Fantasmic showtime can be from 7p til 9.30p, with some nights having a second show, commonly 90 minutes later. You want to arrive at the entrance to Fantasmic by 45 minutes before the first showtime.

Depending on the timing of the show, you may want to arrive even earlier to have some time to explore before Fantasmic. You also may want to stay after Fantasmic on nights when the park stays open after the first show.  Toy Story Land and Galaxy’s Edge are good places to wander and linger after dark, and you can also try for additional Multi Passes.

PREVIEW OF TOMORROW

You will have an early start for your final visit to Epcot.
