They have since gone on to perform…read moreon So You Think You Can Dance and America's Got Talent where they were short changed by Simon who gave them an X. For the past four years Academy of Villains has had a residency at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights where they perform shows several times a night. It's popular so if you want to be up front plan on getting there early. The title of the show for this year is Altered States. It has a mad scientist story line. In the show the scientist alters the state of the dancers leading to some amazing performances set to a head banging soundtrack. The highlight of the show was the contortionist who must have no bones in his body. You could hear the crowd gasping as he twisted his body in ways that shouldn't be possible. I also really liked the aerialist who dangled from the ceiling and at one point did a heart stopping fall straight to the floor. Part of the show had the Academy dancing behind screens which is one of their signature performances. This show has everything, acrobatics, theatrics, and dance. I have been a fan of this dance group since seeing them on America's Got Talent and it was such a pleasure to see them live. It is totally worth pulling yourself from the houses to make time for this show.

Not horrible, but if you're trying to fit everything into one night it may be frustrating. This year's show was about technology taking over and humanity being almost completely wiped out but rather than Terminator-style they were converted to robots or taken over somehow. I mean, it was mostly a dance show with dance fighting and a little bit of plot thrown in here and there. It was good but nothing I would have to see if we returned and were on a time crunch. The dancing was crazy impressive and they were good about getting the audience to participate.

Premier Theatre is located within Disney's Hollywood Studios. They use it for various things…read more When Star Wars Weekends are happening they use it for that. Currently, they are using it for For The First Time In Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration. The theatre is large with comfortable seating... that is unless you get stuck at the back on one of the benches. It seats around 800. Most importantly, it's air conditioned! Anything in the Parks that get you off your feet and into the icy cold a/c is wonderful! I'm mainly writing this review because the line to get into the theatre gets extremely long and I hear people talking about whether they are going to get in or not when waiting for a show. The place is huge, so worry not. However, if you want good seats, I'd advise you to get there at least an hour before a show is going to start, if not a little more than an hour.

Also, even though some of the seats are comfy, some at the back are stadium seats. At the end, Elsa comes out to sing let it go and it snows in the theatre. Great, but make sure to come early in line or get a fast pass to not get stuck with a bench in the back.

This was an awesome seasonal addition to Disney's Hollywood Studios!…read more As the parks get incredibly busy during the holiday season, they put a lot of effort into ensuring that all their visitors have ample entertainment offerings, in addition to the usual line ups. One seasonal feature at DHS is the Comedy Warehouse Holiday Hijinx show. Previously, this show has taken place in the old "Sounds Dangerous" building, but this year they moved it to the former American Idol Experience theater, which is even bigger! For those that remember the now-defunct Pleasure Island nighttime entertainment complex, you may remember the Comedy Warehouse, a venue featuring a troupe of talented improv comment performing several shows nightly. The show at Hollywood Studios borrows the improv format AND many of the original members of the Comedy Warehouse troupe. The show featured several funny, holiday themed skits and songs, with a cast of five comics and a live pianist. It was a lot of fun! While it is Disney and there are obviously many kids in the audience, the show is family friendly, with a few PG-13 jokes thrown into the mix. (That probably go over the little one's heads). Like many, I was a fan of Comedy Warehouse in its Pleasure Island days, so I enjoy seeing this reincarnation! The cast is very talented and funny, so I'd love to see this show become a more common offering! Tons of fun!

From the moment the show begins, it's packed with energy, humor, and incredible live vocals that bring the story of Frozen to life in such a fun and interactive way. The royal historians are hilarious and keep the crowd laughing the entire time, while Elsa, Anna, and Kristoff make magical appearances that feel straight out of the movie. The theater itself is beautiful and immersive, and when it "snows" inside during "Let It Go," it creates such a memorable, almost magical moment. Whether you're a huge Frozen fan or just looking for a break from the Florida heat, this show is the perfect mix of entertainment and comfort. It's great for all ages, super engaging, and honestly one of the highlights of the park. Five stars all the way!

It is located in Hollywood Studios, in the old theatre where American Idol used to be. It is a sing along version on Frozen, which uses live actors. It is so incredibly funny and fun. We do really love to come here every time we visit, but especially in the summer when it is so incredibly hot outside. It is a large theatre, with tons of seating. It is very cool inside and a great way to cool down. The show is lead by the narrators who 100% make this show. They are comedic and engaging and incredibly funny. They help to tell us the store of Frozen. There are a few surprise characters that come out including Anna, Kristoff and of course Elsa. There are also opportunities to sing along but if you do not know the song, there are subtitles so everyone can participate. The ending is very sweet and Elsa makes it snow! This part gets me every time, children smile ear to ear, its so sweet and just so magical. Overall this is one of the best shows at Studios. We see it every time we visit. Comfy seats, comedy act and sing a long, cant get much better!

You'll forget about the heat, the potential pains/aches of your feet, and enjoy yourself for 15-20 minutes. As you leave the theater, you'll come across a couple sets/displays from the shorts you just watched that you can take photos with to put yourself into the Mickey shorts before you're on your merry way. This place is delightful and I definitely recommend it for when you're ready for a break!

CUTE MOVIE VENUE…read more Vacation Fun is a montage of movie clips showing Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse visiting different countries. The movie is shown in a beautiful theatre with a luxe red velvet curtained stage and colorful seats patterned after Mickey's red and yellow buttoned shorts. Vacation Fun is a short movie - not more than 10 minutes. Unfamiliar with most of the clips, we did not know if the clips were from old movies or new stylized cartoons. As you exit the theatre, take a photo in diorama sets from the movie - one of the photo ops is with a potato in Potatoland. This is not a popular Hollywood Studios attraction - there were very few people in the theatre during our visit. This would not be on our must-do list but it is a nice place for an AC break from the park.

Come for the A/C, stay because Ty Burrell just made climate change sound like a sitcom plot…read more Awesome Planet is EPCOT's way of saying, "We're still educational, dammit." Nestled inside The Land Pavilion, this 10-minute film opened on January 17, 2020, replacing the long-running Circle of Life: An Environmental Fable (1995-2018). You remember that one -- Timon and Pumbaa lecturing you about recycling while you tried not to fall asleep in the air conditioning. Disney retired it after two decades, deciding it was time to update the message and the visuals (and, let's be honest, cut the fart jokes). History check: before Circle of Life, the theater housed Symbiosis (1982-1994), which was pure 1980s EPCOT -- equal parts earnest science lesson and school field-trip snoozefest. Awesome Planet continues that tradition but with a 21st-century facelift: gorgeous IMAX-style cinematography, sweeping time-lapse shots, and narration by Ty Burrell (yes, Phil Dunphy from Modern Family, which somehow makes saving the planet sound both funny and slightly neurotic). The show is a mix of jaw-dropping aerial shots, underwater footage, and computer graphics that make you realize just how insane Earth really is. It hits the big notes: oceans, forests, deserts, storms, climate change. There's a section where you're basically watching Earth flex its muscles while you're sitting there with a churro wondering what you've done with your life. Is it a thrill ride? Nope. But it's pure EPCOT DNA -- infotainment with enough Disney polish to keep you from checking your phone. And the air conditioning? Let's be real, that's the real five-star feature in Florida summers. "It's a commercial for Planet Earth, but at least it's a good commercial."-- it's slick, beautiful, and makes you want to go recycle something immediately... or at least feel guilty about your plastic poncho. Bottom line: Awesome Planet is short, smart, and surprisingly moving. It's the quiet conscience of EPCOT -- reminding you that the most impressive attraction here isn't a ride, it's the rock we're all spinning on.

It's a 10-minute film featuring the earth and the environment from across the globe! This show is for all ages. The film does use in-theater effects such as wind, scents, and water. It tells the story of life on our planet! If you're looking to take a break from the summer heat, this is a great spot to stop at. It's in a air conditioned building. The images are stunning! There usually aren't many people that queue up for this attraction. The theater is relatively large though with lots of seating! If you haven't watched this film yet, you should check it out while you're visiting Epcot!
