When to Go     Itineraries for the Rest of the Year     Basic December Itinerary

Summary   To-Do List   Sat   Sun   Mon   Tues   Weds   Thurs   Fri   Sat   Sun

You will begin your visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios today, completing it later this week.

You will be finished at the park by 3:30, and have the rest of the day off.

Your goal at the Studios is to see a couple of very popular rides first thing while the crowds are lighter, and then to see in as many of the popular shows as you can until the 3:00 parade, fitting in more rides between shows.

You will see the rest of the Studios later this week.

  • Ride Rock N’ Roller Coaster
  • Review the times guide, and pick out times before 2 pm to see Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular, Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage, and Lights Motors Action Extreme Stunt show (if conflicting times won’t let you see all of these today, you can see the ones you miss on later this week)
  • See these shows, returning for your Tower of Terror ride when your fastpass directs, and seeing nearby rides and attractions in between the shows
  • American Idol ExperienceSee the American Idol Experience
