Advantages: Small enough to get to see everything

Disadvantages: needs an update

This park is now called Hollywood Studios, due to Disney not wanting to pay the rights to the name any longer than the contracted period. I think the new name actually suits it better but its quite hard getting used it calling it something different, anyway on with the review.

Hollywood Studios is the smallest of all the disney parks, and contains the Sorcerers Hat as its icon. The three main rides are The twilight Zone tower of terror, rock and roller coaster and the new toy story mania. The former two have taken a back seat kind of to the toy story mania, so i would advise getting to toy story first and getting a fast pass as the run out really quickly. The main shows in the park are the lights camera action stunt show, which is a car action show and shows you how they record all the high speed chases in the movies, i believe that later this year/earlier next year they are making it more "disney" by having the character from Cars in it. Fatasmic is the night evening lighrts and water show. The special effect in this are fantastic and this is a show not to be missed, but you will need to be there at least 90 mins in advance to get a good seat, or book the fantasmic dining package which gives you acces to the VIP seating area, this is only applicable with 3 of the sit down restaurants.

As this is a relatively small park you are able to do it in about 3/4 of a day, so you can have bit of a lie in and do something in the afternoon.

For british visitors there are a number of options availbale to you for buying tickets, the best value for money option is the 14 day ultimate ticket which gives you unlimited access for 14 days into all of the disney parks including the water parks and disny quest (large in door amusement area) loacted at down town disney!prices start for this ticket from about £244

Summary: really good park
