Hollywood Studio's is the Best Park
I will go ahead and say it, it really is the best park. It have the best balance of adult vs. kids rides that will keep everyone in the park happy. It has enough attractions that the wait times are much more reasonable compared to the other parks. The food in every venue was at worst "park" food and at best, a real dining treat. The attention to detail isn't missed. If you can visit any park for one day, as iconic as the castle in Magic Kingdom is, you'll enjoy yourself the most at this park. Hollywood Studios is the best park, hands down.
Hollywood Studios is great! Of all of the parks at the moment it is definitely the busiest especially at park hopping time so that is something to be aware of. The Rise of the Resistance virtual queue can be difficult to get into (especially in a reasonable boarding group) so if you want to ride it’s very important that you do your research and plan ahead! Overall this is a great park with a lot of fantastic rides, however, not a ton of shade and the rides have a tendency to go down ( at least when I’m there). But hey, I’d go again in a heartbeat so… the pros certainly outweigh the cons!
Star Wars areas were awesome! Toy story area was cool too, my family enjoyed everything. The lines are long but they are worth the wait, next time we will get the fast access pass for sure to try everything. This was an amazing experience for all ages and there is always something to do. Dress comfortably and have good walking shoes with good cushions. I highly recommend for everyone we will be returning.
Great park! I have not been here since 2013 and they really have step up the rides and attractions since then. This is by far the best Disney park of the four. The rides are all unique and not something you will see anywhere else. We did Magic Kingdom and my family agreed this park is the new Supreme. Magic Kingdom is good but the same type of sit there and see the theme type rides. I have friends that say space mountain and splash mountain are the best rides ever but those rides are rides you can do at any theme park. If you are planning a Disney trip make it a priority to go to Hollywood Studios if you can not do them all.
The park is good, easy to find your way around. Toy Story Land and Star Wars areas have been carefully made into life size.
Now, Disney should coordinate better the content of the stores, like for Star Wars, they should have better items for sale, like more customs, missing the one for Han Solo, and the one for the bounty hunter should be better, it looks like a pajama with things glued on to it.
If Disney would focus on what people want, they would generate more sales.
Same with the Toy Story Land Stores, is not filling the store with just items, is getting the right items, the items that people will like, love and buy.
I'm not saying that there are good things, just that it can be improved, for the benefit of the consumer and for the benefit of Disney.
Great place! Totally liked this park and will come back again! A lot of high end entertainment from abounded motel to big Star Wars section! Really great park as for kids and adults. Food and beverages at this park is also very nice and reasonably priced for the most part! Definitely place to visit
Really enjoyed my visit in December 2017 to the Hollywood studio.
The location was clean and easy to navigate. The staff were stupendous and always helpful.
Our primary focus was the starwars exhibit and it was very cool! They had a performance outside and storm troopers walking around. Was a blast!
The tower of terror was just as exciting as the first time I was on it over 15 years ago.
The line wait times reached 1 hour early in the morning If you can get a fast pass I'd recommend it.
We really enjoyed our visit to Hollywood Studios. There were many top-class entertainment shows, along with fun, modern rides. The park is well-laid out and easier to navigate than some of the other Disney parks. They were able to process a lot of people through lines, so the wait times were not as bad as at other parks, despite it being busy. Everything was very clean and the staff were very friendly. I would highly recommend and would visit again
Leaving Disney disappointed. We spent the first part of the day at Animal Kingdom and hopped to Hollywood in the evening. Both parks had the same procedure, every ride catered to the fast pass line. If you are lucky enough to have a fast pass you might enjoy it. If not, prepare to wait between 2 to 3 hours for a ride. Our feet hurt and we barely got in any rides. We counted 35 to 50 fast pass people let through to 7 stand by people. We have enjoyed the park before because everyone had an equal opportunity to get a fast pass, but with the changes letting people buy fast passes months in advance or if they are staying on their resort has robbed the common man of any magical experience.
I have loved Disney Hollywood for years. I just came back from my annual trip. Over the last few years Hollywood has closed several major rides/attractions (Back Lot Tour/Streets of New York/Lights , Camera, Motors/Great Movie Ride/Osborne Family Christmas). This has made the existing rides "high traffic". It's really a shame. The park was so crazy busy and the line ups were ridiculous. There are not enough attractions to keep the lines down to a "reasonable" wait time. Until Hollywood has gotten some new rides up and running - I won't be going back there. It's just a waste of time waiting around to get on the existing rides. :(
Personally I enjoyed this park a lot but I felt it was lacking in a lot of ways. Right now it is under a lot of construction and it is lacking in rides because tower of tower was down the whole time I was there. So we saw all the shows which all felt a little outdated and needed to be updated. I really enjoyed the Indiana Jones stunt show but my baby did not.
Some parking employees are rude. I had to stand in line for at least 30 minutes partly my fault because I grabbed the wrong pass to get in. But it still had my name and I had my i.d. so they could have excused it at the finger print scanner. But instead they sent me to guest relations and they let me in after long wait. That brought my mood down while my family waited on the other side. After entering the there is only 2 big rides and one was FOR FAST PASS ONLYbut they weren't telling people that they were saying the ride was "half down". So we we're at the park for about an hour consisting of waiting on the only other ride. Worth 125? Nope
Always fun. The Indiana Jones stunt show is great. Good place for Star wars fans. Look forward to going to the prime time cafe, where the wait staff makes you mind your manners.
This place used to be better when we still had the Great Movie ride and the backlot tour. However those and the stunt driving show have all been closed for the upcoming toy story and star wars areas of the park. I am sure when they open this place will be great but at the moment it is a bit small and you can get around it in no time.
I would still recommend for a half day attraction.
I was very disappointed. The previous day we went to Disney Animal Kingdom at had a awesome time. So since I was stuck in Florida for another day I thought we would go to Disney Hollywood. I was very disappointed. I paid $105 for 4 or 5 rides. The whole park is full of stores and there is only a few rides. we watched a few plays but not worth $105
Magic Kingdom is my favourite Disney park, with Epcot as a close second. But My husband and 7 yr old son like Hollywood studios the best.
Tip: Get there when the park opens, and RUN to sign up for Jedi Training if you have a child under 12. Best Disney attraction ever, but seriously get there when the park opens and get in line to sign up, or you won't get a spot in the Jedi Training.
One of the best places in the world! The only 1 down side, I have ever experienced, is how long it takes for the Disney Resort buses to arrive straight after all of the fireworks have finished.
If they were more consistent, then there would be less heavy crowds afterwards. For those busy hours, I would recommend a bus every 5/10 minutes rather than every 15/20 minutes, to cut down the crowds.
Apart from that, AMAZING!!
We had so much fun. There is lots to do and see. The shows were fantastic. The staff was very friendly. They were always asking us if they could help us with anything. The Storm Troopers are so cool! Great place!
I think people can pretty much go ahead and plan for Disney to be expensive. But, you get what you pay for. I definitely wouldn't come during the hottest time of year or during a time when the crowds are high, but otherwise, this is a great place for kids and adults! Individuals, small groups, and large groups! There is something for everyone.
I was disappointed we didn't get to watch the beauty and the beast show because it is only showing a few days a week now but we got to meet belle and the beast together instead.

Everything is so damn expensive here, lines without end, for a 3 minute ride you'll do a 120 minutes or more line, warm water on the water fountains, not one with cold water. Hours wasted in lines. And all of this for just around $100 a day plus expenses.
It's magical.
At least now you can bring your own food and water but when temperature is at 95°f and feels like 105 water doesn't last cold for too long, or anything else for that matter. You are in line for 120 minutes and then comes the fast pass people, which might extend your wait period several minutes, not enough benches under shade. Mostly under the scorching sun and humidity. I would recommend coming during November if you still want to experience the same crap but with better weather, although I did that and water fountains are still warm, lines are still stupid long and prices are crazy expensive.
With all that money you can take a real vacation to some beach place and go to your State Fair, same rides but without the Disney gimmicks and price.
