It turned out to be a magical day, and now I can't stop thinking about going back! I didn't love the rides. I had no chance to ride the Guardians rollercoaster due to ridiculous lines. A few "dark rides" (Caballeros, Nemo, and Ratatouille), weren't bad as shelter from the scorching Florida heat. The real magic is in entering "flow state" and wandering the world showcase areas. The architecture and atmosphere draws you in and scratches that international travel itch. There are so many nooks, crannies, and hidden treasures to explore - from unique shops to themed restaurants. The real stars were the excellent food and drink options. The food from the numerous themed stands and stalls is ridiculously good and priced fairly. Drinks are very expensive but a memorable part of the visit. My favorites were the cajun food (poboy and gumbo) and the famous fish and chips. The margaritas at La Cava de Tequila were astoundingly good (with a pricetag to match). For adults who don't need a ton of high-G roller coasters, EPCOT is just about perfect. I can't wait to return.

The Mine Blower was physically uncomfortable and I was there too early right when the park opened to grab a funnel cake. Not the best coaster I've been on, it's wooden and you feel every turn in a jerking way. Some decent hang time and a fun opening drop but everyone in my car each time was glad when it ended. The park itself however looks nice and accessible which is what I like about the place. Parking is free(preferred spots for season pass holders); admission is free so it makes for a nice third place with the family; and there are rides for all ages, ability, and tolerance. Like other locations you can pay per ride or purchase a day or season pass. There's an arcade and dining options and a saloon. It's also attached to a boardwalk type attraction with restaurants and shops. Makes for an affordable outing. Season pass for all parks was $90. Everyone who worked there was helpful and staff seem to genuinely hope you're enjoying the ride. I

It takes you around the world with a simulated screen allowing you and the kiddos to tour the world!

We came here in 2025 and again in 2026 for the kid's birthday…read more There is a lot to say and most of it has already been said, so I will just summarize. -go early in the day. -bring your own water bottle (March 2026 the cheapest bottle of water was $4.25) -get a lightning pass and use it for rides, not shows -be prepared for lots of walking. Wear walking shoes. If it is spring or summer, bring sun screen. -be prepared for LOTS of people (if they drive like they walk, no wonder the US has such a high vehicular fatality rate). Be patient. -be prepared to overpay for just about everything. But oddly, the $300 per person multi-park ticket is a good deal. Why? Because you get so much entertainment. There are loads of Disney employees everywhere who are friendly and ready to help with any questions. They all are paid, so the $300 is actually not a bad deal when you consider how many employees there are in each park, how clean the parks are, and all the upkeep to maintain the animals and rides. -if you get tired, and you will, take a break. It's not fun if you get so tired that you get cranky. -Don't forget to enjoy the smiles on the kids' faces!

This will allow you to skip the lines at every attraction without needing to select a specific time window. Highlights here are definitely the Star Wars attractions - Smugglers Run and Rise of the Resistance. The latter is the better of the two and is a truly an immersive "4D" experience that I absolutely loved. Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway is another newer ride that was truly enjoyable. The Tower of Terror is another favorite and lives on here with its classic Twilight Zone theming. There are tons of great food and beverage options here, and the staff are consistently very friendly. Definitely plan a visit here on your next Orlando trip!

My first visit to Disney's Hollywood Studios after previously visiting the California park, and…read morehonestly, Hollywood just isn't my favorite Disney park. Now that I've experienced both, I think I'm good. We mainly went for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, which was definitely the highlight of the day. I pre-purchased Lightning Lane and Single Passes, and while they helped for a few rides, it still felt difficult to accomplish everything we wanted. No times ever opened up for Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, so we ended up waiting in the regular standby line for over an hour. Slinky Dog Dash never became available either, and eventually we just gave up. I honestly don't know where all these people come from -- every Disney park visit seems packed no matter what day we go! One thing I highly recommend is making advance reservations for Oga's Cantina. We were very happy we planned ahead because walk-up wait times were over an hour. The atmosphere was fantastic and it ended up being one of our favorite experiences of the day. I know Hollywood Studios is undergoing a lot of changes in 2026, so hopefully future visits will feel a little more balanced and fulfilling.

Of course you can take the complimentary Disney transportation from your Disney resort to the park. I would say the Kilimanjaro safari here is truly the highlight as you travel through the park on a safari vehicle seeing various amazing animals including elephants and lions. The flight of Avatar attraction is also truly amazing as well as you soar through the skies on a banshee. We also love the expedition Everest roller coaster which reminds us a bit of big thunder mountain in Magic kingdom. There are various eateries here - we really enjoy Pizzafari!

We saw lots of different animals in the theme park, including lions, giraffes, elephants, flamingos, and tigers! The toddler really loved seeing them and had a great time. There's so much to do at the theme park! There are tons of exhibits, shows, rides, and restaurants to enjoy during a half to full day there. We went on the Animal Safari, Maharaja Jungle Trek, and the Gorilla Falls Exploration, and my toddler absolutely loved all of them! And don't miss The Lion King Show, it was a fantastic show. Apart from Lion King, there is also a show on Nemo which kids will enjoy. Besides the different Safari's and Shows, Animal Kingdom Theme Park also has awesome rides like Avatar Flight of Passage, Na'avi River Journey, and Expedition Everest. This park is great and well-designed. It feels much less rushed, and everyone really enjoys spending time there.

I also liked that there's no entry fee for non-riders and you can purchase rides à la carte. I ended up paying $12 for a go-kart ride and LOVED it We got there around 12 PM and it wasn't crowded at all. The lines were super short, so the students were able to ride things 3-4 times with no problem, which made it even more worth it. One of the best deals was the all day dining pass (you have to buy it online). For $24, you get 2 meals and a snack, which is a steal compared to the regular menu prices. Our first stop was Cluckees where we had tenders, wings, and fries. The portions were HUGE and everything was tasty, especially the fries. None of us could even finish our food! For our snack, we grabbed ice cream. The kids loved it, but it wasn't my favorite. Later, we went back to Cluckees for a chicken sandwich and fries for dinner. This time it wasn't as good as earlier. Maybe a different cook or just an off moment. We didn't spend time in the arcade and stayed mostly outside. The park is a pretty decent size with plenty to do. Even as the day went on and traffic picked up, it never felt overly packed. The staff was friendly and very laid back, which added to the relaxed vibe of the day. Overall, it was a good experience. The kids really enjoyed it. I'd give it a 3.5. Btw I think there is a bee problem there. I saw bees flying around often. Not enough to ruin the experience, but I definitely noticed them.

It's definitely a place I want to try in the future. We did get to ride on Na'vi River Journey, but sadly didn't get to Avatar Flight of Passage. We started in Asia and ended in Pandora. The lines were too long by the time we got there in the afternoon time. I recommend getting a LL, or adding it to your early entry strategy. This is where many people were going after the rope drop. Hopefully we'll get to experience it next time. I wish we could have stayed here a little longer, but it was a long day for us. It will definitely be our first stop on our next visit.

It was also right next to an entrance to the lazy river, which was perfect. The water temperature was amazing. It was a pretty warm day and the water felt fantastic. In the afternoon, we ordered several platters, and one of them was the charcuterie spread. The Mickey had goat cheese was delicious. All the arrangements were fantastic. We also got the chicken fingers and the nacho bar which I forgot to take pictures of lol because we dug right in.
