Morning plan

  1. 1Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway
  2. 2Toy Story Mania! (no height requirement)
  3. 3Alien Swirling Saucers (32"+ height, gentle spinner)
  4. 4Slinky Dog Dash (38"+, if ready, in Toy Story Land)

Lunch

Woody's Lunch Box (Toy Story Land, counter service)

Lunch pails, totchos (tater tots + nachos), and themed drinks. The most Instagram-worthy quick-service in Hollywood Studios. Get there before noon.

Afternoon plan

  1. 1Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! (no height req; little ones go wild)
  2. 2The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure (air-conditioned show)
Pro tip: Hollywood Studios has fewer toddler-friendly rides than other parks. Toy Story Land is the sweet spot. Plan your day around it.

Dinner

Backlot Express (themed to studio props, counter service)

Evening plan

  1. 1Runaway Railway second ride if wait is low
  2. 2Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular (covered amphitheater, entertaining for toddlers)
The Indiana Jones show starts loud: heads up for sensitive toddlers. But the stunts and explosions are genuinely exciting for older toddlers.

Lightning Lane priorities

  • 1.Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway
  • 2.Slinky Dog Dash (if 38"+)
Pro tip
Hollywood Studios is the hardest park for toddlers under 40": many headliners have height requirements. Toy Story Land is your anchor; plan the rest of the day around what your specific toddler can access.
