Attractions At Disney’s Hollywood Studios with Shorter Wait Times



Hollywood Studios

The Disney parks are full of magic and memories, but the attractions are the main reason why guests love coming to Disney World. Each Disney park has its own attractions that entertain, thrill, and even educate guests. The Imagineering seen during these attractions is unmatched, and the theming is what really makes the “Disney difference”.  Many guests are familiar with the popular attractions in each park like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train in Magic Kingdom and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT. But what about those attractions that tend to have lesser crowds and shorter wait times? These attractions that guests can just hop on and wait a short time for are some of the best experiences in the Disney parks. If you’re visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios this year then keep an eye out for these attractions with shorter wait times.

For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Singalong Celebration

This attraction is definitely a fan-favorite and for a good reason! For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Singalong Celebration is an exciting and fun live performance starring Anna, Krisoff, Elsa, and two Arendelle storytellers. This show performs every hour, and the show itself is around 30 minutes long. There is typically no wait associated with this attraction as long as you arrive on time for the show and don’t have to wait until the next performance. Guests are invited to sing along as popular songs from the Frozen film are played. The Arendelle storytellers add a modern and hilarious take on the story of Frozen as Anna, Kristoff, and Elsa make appearances on stage.

Star Tours: The Adventures Continue

If Rise of the Resistance and Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run have long waits then head over to Star Tours: The Adventures Continue. This Star Wars attraction has a high-loading capacity, so there typically isn’t a very long wait in order to enjoy this ride. Guests grab a pair of 3-D glasses and they board a ship that will take them through various Star Wars adventures. There are dozens of scenarios to experience during this attraction, and the scenes are randomized so you never really know what you might get!
