Disney’s Hollywood Studios

New Attractions At Disney’s Hollywood Stdios

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge the highly-anticipated Star Wars-themed attraction is the shining star at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

This new “land” allows guests to explore a spaceport on the edge of a universe far far away!

 

It’s the place where Star Wars fans can meet up with some of their favorite characters including Chewbacca and BB-8. When hunger strikes, there’s a wide range of Star Wars-themed food and treats available in the cantina. Gift shops galore also make it easy to score unique Star Wars merchandise and memorabilia.

Two major attractions are located within Galaxy’s Edge:

Millennium Falcon – Smugglers Run  is an interactive experience, allowing Star Wars fans to jump aboard the legendary Millennium Falcon, piloting the ship from the cockpit and manning the blaster turrets.

Star Wars – Rise of The Resistance  allows guests to see what it’s like to stand in the hangar bay of a First Order Star Destroyer in the midst of battle – so cool!

 

The Incredibles –  Pixar Place transforms into a Municiberg city block. At the end of the block, a party is held in honor of Mr. Incredible, Mrs. Incredible and Frozone to celebrate their super deeds.

Meet the one and only Edna Mode – the greatest super suit designer! She will set up a special location on Pixar Place showcasing some of her best creations (no capes!). Also on Pixar Place, look for clues to the whereabouts of the youngest Incredible, the mischievous and multi-powered Jack-Jack.

Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy –  Ka-Chow! In this new show experience, you’ll come face to face with Lightning and learn from his years of experience on the track. Outside the Racing Academy, you’ll get to meet Lightning McQueen’s speedy pal, Cruz Ramirez.

Elsewhere at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, a door to the monster world will open inside Walt Disney Presents, where you’ll have a chance to meet Mike and Sulley from Pixar’s Monsters, Inc.

Disney’s Skyliner is a brand new way for guests to travel around (or rather above) Disney parks. These gondola style lifts connect four Disney resorts, including the all new Disney Riviera Resort, to both Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

The gondola cars feature pictures of Disney characters on the outside of each window, making it seem like these characters are actually riding along in the car. From inside, passengers have a stunning view of the Magic Kingdom from above as they make their way to the parks from each resort.

What is Disney Genie?

Built right into the My Disney Experience and Disneyland apps, Disney Genie service will maximize your park time, so you can have more fun. It includes a personalized itinerary feature that will quickly and seamlessly map out an entire day. From specific attractions, foodie experiences and entertainment, to general interests like Disney princesses, villains, Pixar, Star Wars, thrill rides and more – just tell Disney Genie what you want to do and it will do the planning for you.

Here are a few more features:

• Get Itinerary Updates from Morning to Night: Disney Genie will continue to update your itinerary throughout your day, so you can be more spontaneous and go with the flow.
• Find Your Favorites at a Glance: Create your very own personal tip board to instantly see your favorites. It will display current AND forecasted future wait times, helping you predict when you might experience quicker entry to attractions.
• Enjoy More Flexibility and Fun: Disney Genie brings existing planning features together in one place. Join a virtual queue at certain attractions, make dining and experience reservations, mobile order food at many locations, get help from a virtual assistant and more.

For even more convenience and flexibility, there are two other options for enjoying our theme parks, through a queue we are introducing called the Lightning Lane entrance that also saves you time in line:

• Disney Genie+ service (available for purchase): For the price of $15 per ticket per day at Walt Disney World Resort and $20 per ticket per day at Disneyland Resort, choose the next available time to arrive at a variety of attractions and experiences using the Lightning Lane entrance. You can make one selection at a time, throughout the day – from classics like Haunted Mansion to thrill rides like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and newer favorites like Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run (attractions subject to limited availability). This convenient option is the next evolution of the fan-favorite Disney MaxPass service from Disneyland Resort. Disney Genie+ will also include Disney parks-themed audio experiences and photo features to capture your memories – augmented reality lenses for those visiting Walt Disney World Resort and unlimited Disney PhotoPass downloads from your day if you are visiting Disneyland Resort.

• Individual attraction selections (available for purchase): Schedule a time to arrive at up to two highly demanded attractions each day using the Lightning Lane entrance – like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Magic Kingdom Park and Radiator Springs Racers at Disney California Adventure park (subject to limited availability; attractions not included with Disney Genie+). Pricing for this option will vary by date, attraction and park and will be announced closer to launch.

Lightning Lane selections will be made on the same day of your visit and can be used across multiple theme parks, great for those who love the Park Hopper option. Attractions continue to offer a traditional standby queue, or a virtual queue at certain attractions like Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance – to maximize flexibility.

While the FASTPASS, FastPass+ and Disney MaxPass services will be retired, we’re incredibly excited about the flexibility and choices Disney Genie service provides. You can choose from all of our new options, a mix of them or none at all, and continue to have a great experience no matter how you decide to plan your best Disney day.
