At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, movies aren’t just watched, they’re lived. From a galaxy far, far away to the golden age of animation, the park puts you inside iconic stories through immersive lands, themed rides, and larger-than-life sets.

Big thrills, blockbuster style

Experience pulse-pounding attractions like The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, or battle alongside heroes in Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. This park is where thrill meets cinematic spectacle.

A world made for kids (and kids at heart)

Shrink down to toy size in Toy Story Land, meet beloved Disney Junior characters, and enjoy family-friendly shows and rides designed to spark wonder in every age group.

Broadway-worthy entertainment

Catch dazzling live performances like Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage and Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular. With top-tier staging and effects, these shows are true headliners.

After-dark ambiance

As the sun sets, Hollywood Studios lights up with cinematic charm. End your visit with a bang at Fantasmic!, the park’s epic nighttime spectacular featuring fireworks, water projections, and Disney heroes vs. villains in a dream-like battle.

Unique dining and themed experiences

From dining inside a retro drive-in theater to sipping blue milk at Galaxy’s Edge, the park offers food experiences straight out of the movies.

Things to know before booking your Disney's Hollywood Studios tickets

  • If you plan to spend the entire day exploring Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the 1-Day Ticket is the best option, giving you full access to all rides, shows, and immersive lands like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and Toy Story Land.
  • If you want the flexibility to visit more than one Disney park in a single day, the 1-Day Park Hopper ticket allows you to move between all four Walt Disney World parks on the same day, making it ideal for shorter trips.
  • If you are visiting for a weekend or short vacation, the 2-Day Ticket lets you choose two parks to explore over two days, with the option to upgrade to Park Hopper for added flexibility.
  • If you are planning a longer stay, Multi-Day Tickets (2–10 days) provide access to one park per day and offer better value per day, allowing you to explore at a more relaxed pace.
  • If you would like to include water park fun or sports experiences in your trip, choose the Multi-Day Water Park & Sports Ticket or upgrade to Hopper Plus, as standard tickets do not include water park or sports access.
  • With Park Hopper tickets you can visit multiple parks in the same day, which is helpful if you want to start your morning at Hollywood Studios and end your evening at another park for fireworks or dining.
  • Water park access is not included in regular 1-Day or standard Multi-Day theme park tickets, so you must select a Hopper Plus Ticket or dedicated water park option if you want access to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon or sports attractions.
  • Multi-Day tickets can usually be used on consecutive or non-consecutive days within their validity window, giving you flexibility in planning your itinerary.
  • Families and longer-stay visitors often get the best value from Multi-Day or Multi-Day + Water Park & Sports tickets, while solo travelers or short-stay guests may benefit more from a 1-Day or Park Hopper option.
