Daily Guidance: Hollywood Studios s10

By Dave Shute

HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS AGENDA s10

A very full day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, known until recently as Disney’s MGM Studios. Because you are a Disney resort guest, you can stay 3 hours later than non-resort guests.

FIRST THINGS

• Get up early and eat breakfast in your room
• Be at the hotel bus stop by 7:30 am, and take the bus labeled “Studios” or “Hollywood Studios”

AT THE PARK

• Arrive at the park by 8:15a
• Get in line and await the opening
• After the 9:00 opening, pick up a “Times Guide”–a schedule–and park map, walk to Toy Story Mania on Pixar Boulevard, fastpass it, and come back later
• Ride Rock N’ Roller Coaster
• Ride the Tower of Terror
• See Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream
• Based on today’s show schedule, return for your fastpasses, and see Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular or Lights Motor Action (see the other later this afternoon). Work in lunch at the Backlot Express (counter credit) when you can, and, If you have time, see Sounds Dangerous
• 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 the American Idol Experience
• If you have time before dinner, see Playhouse Disney Live on Stage (don’t worry if you end up skipping it)
• Have dinner at 6:15pm at the 50s Prime Time Café, where your waiter will interact with you in a comic way (table credit)
• See the Great Movie Ride
• Grab another dessert in the Sci-Fi Diner (cash), which is unlike any other restaurant you have seen
• See the Voyage of the Little Mermaid
• See Star Tours
• See the Muppet Movie
• Return to any other rides that are open you want to do again—e.g. Tower of Terror, Rock N’ Roller Coaster
• Return to your hotel
