Have a 1- or 4-year-old and wondering if Hollywood Studios is worth a park day?
YES. 🙌🏼
I just did Hollywood Studios with my 1-year-old + 4-year-old, and I’m sharing exactly how I’d plan this park with little ones.
There are some height-restricted rides, but there’s SO much more than rides here, and honestly, this might be my favourite park for shows now!
👉🏼 Swipe for how I’d structure your day + the things you DON’T want to miss…
If Slinky Dog Dash is a priority, ROPE.DROP.IT. (or get LLMP ideally!)
My 4-year-old just rode it and LOVED it — so yes, it absolutely makes my list (he also told me in no uncertain terms to include it, so my Mouseketeer has spoken!😂)
We headed straight to Toy Story Land for:
✨ Slinky Dog Dash
📸 Photos BEFORE the crowds really descend
🥨 A snack whipe we waited for our LLMP for..
✨ Toy Story Mania!
My tip: If you have Early Entry, take advantage of it! And if you don’t want to rope drop, Lightning Lane Multi Pass can be a really helpful alternative for your priority attractions.
Another attraction that also makes our MUST RIDE list in this park: Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway 🚂
👉🏼 But rides aren’t actually my favourite part of Hollywood Studios anymore (unless I’m hitting the parks without my littles)… swipe 👀
Hollywood Studios has become one of my favourite parks for shows!
With little ones, shows are especially valuable because they’re:
✨ Fun for the whole family
✨ A break from walking
✨ A chance to SIT DOWN
✨ And a much-needed escape from the Florida heat ☀️
Depending on the season, shows can fill up quickly, so I always recommend knowing your priorities ahead of time.
Some of the entertainment I’d look at:
🎬 The Little Mermaid
😈 Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After
🔥 Fantasmic!
…and more!
👉🏼 And there’s a NEW spot you absolutely need to know about…
This is SUCH a great addition for families with little ones!
🎨 Learn how to draw with Olaf, with a Disney Animator teaching alongside him on screen
🖼️ Explore tons of Disney animation artwork
🎬 Catch a Disney 100 short
🐰 Let little ones play in the Alice in Wonderland-inspired play area
