As villa owners our guests often ask us what are the ‘must do’ attractions at each of the parks. Obviously this does depend on the age and make up of your party however these are our ‘must do’ rides and attractions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
This was the first Disney Park we ever visited and as such holds lots of ‘firsts’ for our family.
Rock n Roller Coaster
An amazing indoor roller coaster in semi darkness, great if like me you’re scared of heights, as you don’t get the same sensation of height that you would on an outdoor coaster. The Aerosmith music and pre ride themeing on this ride are brilliant.
We’ve tried sitting in the front row, middle and back row and we definitely think the back row makes for the most thrilling ride, but don’t take our word for it, try it yourself and as you climb into your super stretch limo to head across town don’t forget to smile for the camera!
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
As you enter this creepy hotel and make your way round to the service elevator, be prepared to take your life in your hands…. Just kidding! It is quite spooky though!
I have a bad habit of shutting my eyes when I’m scared and it’s a BIG mistake to do it on this ride as you would miss the fantastic view you get of the park from the top of the tower, but hold tight you don’t get long to look at the view!
Star Tours
This is a Star Wars themed simulator ride, piloted by a rather absent-minded droid!
If you get the chance try and sit on the back row right on the outside seats to really appreciate every twist and turn of this exciting ride, Oh, I nearly forgot don’t leave your sunglasses perched on top of your head or you just might not have them at the end of this ride!
Beauty and the Beast on stage
A spectacular stage show with amazing costumes and music – Disney really do know how to put on the best shows! There really isn’t a bad seat at these shows so you really don’t need to get there more than 15 minutes before it starts.
Lights, Motors, Action – Extreme Stunt Show
This is Hollywood Studios’s latest addition to the park.
High speed thrills, custom vehicles, rocket skis and lots of pyrotechnics as these highly skilled drivers perform daredevil stunts with precision choreography.
It really is ‘one for the boys’ although we girls know that’s how we drive in the supermarket car park!
Fantasmic
Definitely not to be missed, this is yet another fantastic show combining music, lights, water and Disney Magic!
It’s worth getting there early and bagging a seat in the middle but not to near the front unless you like getting wet!
