Disney Hollywood Studios - Orlando

Disney Hollywood Studios is a slightly smaller park than Magic Kingdom but it's packed with a lot of thing to do.  One of my favorites is the Rockin' Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith.  This high speed thrill will catapult you into darkness to the sound of Aerosmith and hurl you through the Hollywood Freeway amidst twists and turns that last for about as long as you do.  the whole ride is like a Space Mountain rock concert because you can't tell where you're going next.

If that isn't enough and you like being scared go to the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.  This is an old spooky Hollywood hotel where you go up and come down at breakneck speed  The artistry is unbelievable and it's great if you go at night or on a stormy day.  Adds a lot of scare to it.

For the slightly younger crowd wander over to Pixar Studios and enjoy attractions such as Toy Story Mania and the Beauty and the Beast live Show.  If you like shows there's also Disney Junior Live on Stage. The kids can see all their favorite characters perform.  Nobody does it like Disney when it comes to live shows.

Newer on the set is Star Tours, a 3-D experience where you can ride with all your favorite good guys and bad guys through the galaxy.  It's awesome and all ages will like this one.

There are many other attractions but I'll talk about them in future articles.  Dining is plentiful from formal character dinners to fast food options.  Explore the Disney Dining Plan and make reservations either by checking in with Guest Services as you enter the park or get the mobile app for your Verizon Wireless phone.

I hope you have fun on your visit and enjoy our great weather.  Just remember to drink a lot of water and use sunscreen.  Those from up north and Europe keep in mind this is the hottest time of the year and our heat is tropical heat so it can creep up on you.  Stay safe and have a good time.
