One way to make the most of your day at the Disney parks is by getting up early! Early risers gain many benefits during Disney days including lower crowds, less heat, and more time to explore the parks and enjoy attractions. In general, getting up early to enjoy your day at Disney is highly recommended for all guests. But how can you make the most of your morning at the parks? Should you eat breakfast, or skip it? There are several ways to go about your morning during your Disney vacation. Here is how you can make the most of your morning at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Arrive for Early Park Entry
If you are staying at a Disney Resort, whether it be a value, moderate, deluxe, or DVC resort, you are eligible to take advantage of early park entry during your vacation. Thirty minutes prior to the park opening you can arrive and enter the park and experience select experiences and attractions before the park opens to the rest of the public. This is a great way to get a bit of a head start on enjoying the park in the mornings. Thirty minutes can make a huge difference in lines, crowds, and walking through the park.
Breakfast Options
If breakfast is on your mind first thing in the morning then don’t worry! Hollywood Studios has several options for guests for early morning dining. If a sit-down breakfast is your style then be sure to check out Hollywood & Vine starring Disney Jr. Characters. This breakfast buffet features all the classics while Vampirina, Fancy Nancy, and Mickey Mouse meet you. If you’re a quick-service person in the morning then check out Woody’s Lunch Box in Toy Story Land featuring unique breakfast dishes like the Lunch Box Tart.
Big Attractions to Hit
Popular attractions at Hollywood Studios to hop in line for in the morning include Slinky Dog Dash, Tower of Terror, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets, Toy Story Mania, Rise of the Resistance, Millenium Falcon Smuggler’s Run, and Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway.
Popular Photo Opportunities to Take Advantage Of
Take advantage of lower crowds in the morning by taking photos in popular photo spots. Popular locations include in front of Tower of Terror, in front of the Chinese Theater, in front of the Millenium Falcon, and around Echo Lake.
Take it Easy!
One of the best ways to take advantage of your morning at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is to take it easy. Relax, stroll through the park, and enjoy the scenery. You don’t need to rush from place to place, just enjoy the ambience and soak it in!
