By Jade Monzo, Owner, Rope Drop Travel March 27, 2020

Headed to Hollywood Studios on your Disney World vacation? With dozens of rides, attractions and characters to meet it can be overwhelming figuring out what to do with your little... and big ones! Check out our list to keep any of your kids entertained!

Babies under 2

Your youngest children will be captivated by Hollywood Studios’ Broadway-caliber show, Beauty and the Beast - Live on the Stage. Running thirty minutes, it’s the perfect amount of time to keep your littles engaged while getting to enjoy a show most pay an exorbitant amount for on actual Broadway!

A must check out with your littlest is Disney Junior Dance Party. Kids get the chance to dance along with their favorite Disney Junior characters. It’s a wonderful way to let your youngest stretch those legs and get their sillies out. After the show, there’s even an opportunity to take pictures with the characters at the building next door.

Preschoolers 3 - 5 years

For sure, the highlight of most little one’s visits will be their visit to Toy Story Land, an over the top Toy Story themed land that puts you right in Andy’s Backyard! Depending on your preschooler’s height they will be able to experience Slinky Dog Dash, a mild roller-coaster for little ones and Alien Swirling Saucers, a twirling out of this world experience! A trip to this land wouldn’t be complete without lunch at Woody’s Lunchbox Restaurant!

Let it go!!...right over Frozen Sing-Along Celebration. Your Frozen fans will have the time of their lives singing along with their favorite characters. Shhh!! There’s a special surprise at the end when it really snows in the theatre!

Big Kids 6 - 10 years

Toy Story Midway Mania is part ride/part game where children and adults alike get the chance to shoot at targets in hopes of beating their opponent in their car’s score. Make time to do this ride twice as the loser always wants a rematch!

Young Star Wars fans will be in their glory at Star Wars Launch Bay. Housing Star Tours - The Adventure Continues, a 4D ride that features all Star Wars characters and tons of interactive games and memorabilia, kids will be enamored with this section of Hollywood Studios. Watch for Stormtroopers patrolling the area!

Tweens and Teens 11 - 18 years

For the bravest in your family make sure to get a Fastpass for The Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror! After entering a creepy hotel you will be ‘dropped’ right into the middle of an episode of “The Twilight Zone!” Teens are treated to some amazing special effects and a bunch of scares!

For the thrill-seekers in your family have your teens head over to Rock’n’Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith. After beginning with a radical vignette starring Aerosmith themselves, this limo ride delivers a fast-paced ride with tons of loops in the dark while Aerosmith music blasts through their stereos.  This ride is sure to please even your biggest adrenaline junkies!!
