Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Studio is home to some of our favorite rides. Star Wars? Tower of Terror? Yes, please! Of course, Hollywood Studios was a must do on our trip. Using what worked well at Magic Kingdom, I started reserving rides at 7:00 a.m. using Genie + Fast Pass and Lightening Lanes. We were able to take advantage of entering the park early and strategized hitting Rise of the Resistance—a ride and Disney World experience everyone should have—as our first ride. It happened that using the Disney app I found some of the rides we had reservations for had 15 or 20 minute waits so we took advantage of the short lines and kept our reservations to experience the rides twice. It was my first time on Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. This is a relatively new ride that opened in 2020. It’s really a lot of fun and because the cars separate on different paths, if you do the ride multiple times and with a little luck you can have a different experience in the story line. The others are all tried and true favorites.
