Hollywood Studios is my second favorite park next to the Magic Kingdom.  Not only is the fireworks show (Fantasmic) my favorite, but I also love all the shows the park has to offer. I’m pretty sure Chris could leave me at the park and I’d be perfectly content to wander around and watch Voyage of the Little Mermaid all day.

Want to know what rides Chris and I have to do while at the park?  Here’s my list of the 10 best rides/shows at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

1. Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! (show): Follow Indy and Marion as they perform all kinds of awesome stunts!
   -Chris and I love this show!  It’s nice to sit down for a while after a few hours of walking around the park.
   Height Requirement: none
   Age: Kids, Tweens, Teens, Adults, All Ages
2. Star Tours: 3D motion-simulated space flight that launches you into the world of Star Wars
   -Chris loves Star Wars so this ride is a must….multiple times!  There are a few different story lines you can get and it’s always fun to see which one we’ll get! (my favorite is the pod race on Tatooine!)

   Age: Kids, Tweens, Teens, Adults
3. Muppet Vision 3D: Experience the magic of the Muppets during a hilarious, eye-popping film and live-action extravaganza.
   -If you love the Muppets you should definitely go see their show!  All of your favorites are waiting to entertain you in a cute and funny 3D show that Chris and I can’t get enough of.

   Age: Preschoolers, Kids, Adults, All Ages
4. Studio Backlot Tour: Go behind the scenes to see how special effects in movies are made during this exciting pyrotechnic show and tram tour.
   -I really love the queue for this ride.  There are so many props from so many well-known movies that I love looking at them while I’m waiting to get on the ride.
   Height Requirement: none
   Age: Kids, Adults
5. Toy Story Mania: A 4D shootin’ gallery of carnival games you don’t want to miss!

6. Voyage of the Little Mermaid (show): Celebrate highlights of the animated musical film, The Little Mermaid, at this 15-minute puppetry extravaganza!

7. Beauty and the Beast-Live on Stage (show): Be swept into the romantic fairy tale of the Beast who could only be saved by love in this lavish Broadway-style musical!
   -My favorite movie, so a must-see show!  It’s outside so during the summer you don’t get a break from the humidity but this tale as old as time is still a show you don’t want to miss!
   Height Requirement: none
   Age: Preschoolers, Kids, Tweens, Adults, All Ages
   
8. Tower of Terror: Hurtle up and down into the Twilight Zone aboard a haunted elevator.
   -Chris hates this ride.  Hates it.  So, we don’t go on it as much as I’d like.  But I love it.  I love the anticipation of the big drop and the “creepy” element of the attraction. 
   Height Requirement: 40 inches or taller
   Age: Kids, Tweens, Teens, Adults
9. Rockin’ Roller Coaster: Blast off in a super-stretch limousine through the darkened freeways of Los Angeles to the rockin’ tunes of Aerosmith.
   -This is our favorite ride.  We have to go on it each time we’re at the park!  If you’re a roller coaster junkie, you definitely want to ask to be in the front cart.  Trust me!
   Height Requirement: 48 inches or taller
   Age: Kids, Tweens, Teens, Adults
10. Fantasmic: The power of dreams blazes before you in this breathtaking 30-minute fireworks and water extravaganza.
    -Out of all the parks, this fireworks show is my favorite.  All of my favorite Disney Characters make an appearance, they play a ton of my favorite songs, and the entire show revolves around Mickey Mouse.  How could you not love it?
