Disney’s Hollywood Studios® Hours and Access Guide

Updated

Tinseltown is reimagined through Disney’s Hollywood Studios®, a Walt Disney World® Resort Park with nine distinctly themed lands to explore: Hollywood Boulevard, Animation Courtyard, Commissary Lane, Echo Lake, Grand Avenue, Pixar Plaza, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge®, Toy Story Land and Sunset Boulevard.

Cardmembers can redeem Disney Rewards Dollars toward admission to save from the beginning of their visit – or instead choose to redeem toward purchases of souvenirs and snacks at the park!1

Operating Dates and Hours

Make the most of your time by knowing the operating dates and hours of Disney’s Hollywood Studios®. General park hours are from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. However, Guests staying at Disney Resort hotels and select other hotels can take advantage of a 30-minute Early Theme Park Entry into Walt Disney World® Resort theme parks every day of their stay (including check-in and check-out days). For the most up-to-date hours and operating dates, be sure to check the park website ahead of your getaway. Looking to make the most of attraction operating hours? Use the My Disney Experience app as a tool to help you plan your day and pack every minute with fun!

Attraction Hours

Do you dare climb the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™? Or perhaps you’d rather live out your Star Wars adventure by taking control of the fastest ship in a galaxy far, far away in Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. Most attraction hours are the same as park hours, with Early Theme Park Entry starting a half hour earlier.
