Top 5 Things To Do in Hollywood Studios





5. Toy Story Land
Toy Story is a Disney franchise close to my heart, so I adore that there is an entire land dedicated to it! Shirnk down to the size of a toy and visit Andy's backyard. This land has some great attractions like Slinky Dog Dash and Toy Story Midway Mania. There are some great eats like the totchos (tater tots with nacho toppings) and lunchbox tarts. The land even offers some great photo ops with all of its props and theming. 
4. Time Travel For a Meal
Two of the most highly suggested restaurants at WDW are in Studios. They are Sci-Fi Diner and 50's Prime Time Diner. Both will take you back in time to the nifty fifties. Sci-Fi is themed after a drive-in movie theater. The tables look like cars and you are able to watch movie clips as you eat! 50's Prime Time is themed after a typical 50's house with pastel colors and knick knacks galore. The best part about Prime Time is the Cast Members that work it! The waiters were all into the theme, big time. Their acting would put some face characters to shame. Also, Prime Time is said to have the best milkshakes in WDW. I highly suggest making a reservation at one of these restaurants the next time you visit Studios.

 3. Tower of Terror
Every time I go to DHS, I have to drop in for a visit at the Hollywood Tower Hotel. Tower of Terror is one of Disney's best themed rides, and the thrill is so fun. This ride is not for the faint of heart as you fall faster than gravity itself in the dark. However, if you are brave and tall enough to ride, I highly suggest this attraction. Wait times can be long, but well worth it. 
2. Fantasmic
Fantasmic is my favorite nighttime show at Disney (so far). It's got fireworks, laser lights, princesses, dragons, boats, movie clips, great music and it stars the Mouse himself! Everyone will find something in this show to be entertained by. I have seen this show at least 10 times and I'm still not sick of it. You can make fastpasses for this show. Depending on the park hours, sometimes there are two shows. I suggest going to the later one as it will be less crowded. 

1. One Man's Dream
What better way to experience Disney than to learn about the man who started it all? One Man's Dream is a walk-through exhibit. Here anyone can learn about and gain appreciation for Disney's founder. He truly changed the world. The exhibit starts from Walt's boyhood in Marceline, shows his cartoon shorts, movies, television shows and ends with models of the parks and future plans. At the end of the walk-though is a movie theater that show a short documentary of Walt's life, narrated by Julie Andrews (aka Mary Poppins). I dare you to make it through the movie without crying.

A Complete List of Disney Animated Movies

 So, you want to know or watch every Disney animated movie ever? Disney Darling Blog has a comprehensive list of Disney movies, broken. down by the studio from which the films were produced.   Disney Animation Studios When most people think of "Disney movies", they are probably referring to Disney Animation Studios films. These movies were made from Disney's official animation studio and theatrically released.  At the time of writing, Disney Animation Studios (DAS) has released 61 movies. In this list, these movies are broken down by era. The Golden Era starts off with the massively successful Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The movies in this era were critically acclaimed and helped establish Walt Disney as a serious filmmaker.  During WWII, the Disney movie studio struggled. To save money, many films were made up of a compilation of cartoon shorts. This era is referred to the Package Era, or sometimes the Wartime Era.  With the war over, D...

A Review of Tinkerbell

One day my friends decided to Disney Bound as the fairies. They asked me which one I wanted to be and I had no clue. I had never seen a Tinkerbell / Fairies movie despite that the franchise was already 8 years old. But after a brief description of the fairies from my friends, I decided to go as Silvermist, the water fairy.  That was a year ago. Just recently I decided it was about time for me to check out this franchise. So I sat down and watched 2008's Tinkerbell. It was not as bad as I anticipated. Sure, there were some cheesy moments and the animation was crude. The movie's strong point was the voice acting of all the different characters. Tinkerbell has an all star cast with Kristen Chenoweth, Lucy Lui, Raven Simone and Jesse McCartney. Tinkerbell is voiced by none other than Mae Whitman. I am a big fan of Mae and she did not disappoint. I also really liked all the different characters, each with their unique talents and personalities. I think little girls could easil...

5 Things I Will NEVER Do At Walt Disney World's Epcot

Epcot is a unique park to the Walt Disney World resort. There’s plenty of rides to ride, shows to watch, food to eat, and alcohol to be consumed. However, there are just some things that I choose to skip at Epcot. Here are the things that I will NEVER do at Epcot: Start in Mexico There is a great debate amongst Epcot fans: start in Canada or Mexico? I am firmly on team Canada. Mexico is a fabulous pavilion, and I like to end on a high note. Plus, the drunker you are, the more exponentially fun the Mexican boat ride is, so you have to save that for last. When it’s the Food and Wine Festival, I love starting in Canada to get some cheese soup first thing. I dream about that soup, and I don’t want to wait all day long to have it.  I also love starting in France from the International Gateway. As long as we don’t start in Mexico! Forget to thank the Phoenicians Did you know that the giant golf ball at Epcot has a ride inside? It’s called Spaceship Earth, and it’s the park centerpiece at...

Walt Disney World Parks: The Basics

Are you planning a trip to Walt Disney World? Or just want to learn more about the parks and don't know where to start? Disney Darling breaks down the basics for you! Disneyland vs. Walt Disney World Disneyland and Disney World are two different parks, located on opposite sides of the country. As mentioned in this post , it is a common misconception that Disneyland and Disney World are the same thing.  Disneyland is the first Disney theme park ever, opening in 1955. It is located in Anaheim, California, near Los Angeles.  Disneyland has two different parks: Disneyland Park (with the castle), and Disney's California Adventure (or DCA). Disneyland also has three hotels and the Downtown Disney shopping district.  Walt Disney World is located in Bay Lake, Florida, near Orlando.
