Hey there, Eugene!
It's such a joy to welcome you back to planDisney! How exciting that you're planning a summertime visit to the Most Magical Place on Earth...Olaf would be absolutely thrilled!
Summer at Disney World is always bursting with energy and endless opportunities for fun, all while staying cool with a little Disney magic. With exciting new experiences and offerings rolling out this summer, your visit will be perfectly timed to enjoy them firsthand. Just like Olaf soaking up everything he loves about summer, you're in for a visit filled with smiles, surprises, and unforgettable memories!
How fun that you have
Disney After Hours tickets for Hollywood Studios. You're seriously in for such a treat! Experiencing the parks at night feels completely different, and that's one of the things I love most about it. With lighter crowds, shorter wait times, and a more laid-back feel, it's such a refreshing way to enjoy the park. Add in the nighttime ambiance, cooler temperatures, and that extra bit of after-dark magic, and Hollywood Studios comes alive in a whole new way.
Although the event officially begins at 9:30 PM, you're welcome to enter Hollywood Studios as early as 7:00 PM, giving you plenty of time for an action-packed evening. Unfortunately, if you don't have regular daytime admission to Hollywood Studios, you won't be able to purchase
Lightning Lane passes. However, the good news is that during the party, wait times are typically lower than on a standard park day, making it easy to enjoy your favorite attractions.
I recommend arriving right at 7:00 PM and grabbing a meal before the event starts. My family loves
50's Prime Time Café for a table-service restaurant or
Backlot Express for a Quick Service meal. Once the party kicks off, your ticket includes complimentary ice cream novelties, popcorn, and select bottled beverages, so eating a meal beforehand will allow you to maximize your time experiencing attractions with shorter waits.
Eugene, I hope this information is helpful as you continue planning your summer trip! If any other questions come up, you're always welcome to return to planDisney! We love helping Guests like you!
Magic Awaits,
Kami
