Hollywood Studios

A character meet-and-greet with Ariel in her human form inside the Walt Disney Presents building. Short line, air-conditioned, and she'll sign autographs and pose for photos.

A 17-minute Broadway-style stage show retelling the Little Mermaid story with live actors, puppets, and aerial work in a 1,000-seat indoor theater. Originally debuted as "Voyage of the Little Mermaid" in 1992, updated in 2024 with new choreography and a rewritten script that brings Ariel's sisters into the narrative. Air-conditioned, frequent showtimes, and reliably walk-on outside peak holiday weeks.

A self-paced walk-through gallery covering Walt Disney's life and the company's history through original artwork, models, and a short biographical film at the end. Family-friendly, air-conditioned, and rarely crowded — a quiet stop on a hot Hollywood Studios day.

A 30-minute live sing-along show where the official Arendelle historians retell the story of Frozen with audience participation, ending in a surprise appearance from Elsa. Family-friendly, air-conditioned, and great for kids who already know all the words.

A 30-minute live-action stunt show that recreates three scenes from *Raiders of the Lost Ark* — the boulder room, a Cairo street fight with explosions, and a desert airplane brawl — with audience volunteers pulled onstage to play extras. Runs multiple times daily in a 2,000-seat covered amphitheater. The stunts are genuinely impressive pyrotechnic choreography, but the between-scene setup padding drags.

A climate-controlled character meet-and-greet inside a soundstage themed to a Hollywood premiere, typically featuring Mickey Mouse in a tuxedo plus rotating Disney characters. Indoor, rarely crowded, and useful when you need a photo op without a 45-minute outdoor queue.

A small, air-conditioned theater meet-and-greet with Olaf, the snowman from *Frozen*. Quick line, good photo ops, and a reliable midday escape from the heat.

A character meet-and-greet with Edna Mode, the pint-sized fashion designer from *The Incredibles*, who holds court in her own dedicated space and delivers her trademark sharp commentary. The only Disney character meet where the character might actually insult your outfit — Edna's in-character interactions are legitimately funny if you appreciate her no-capes energy.

Meet Joy from Inside Out at Pixar Plaza.

Meet a rotating cast of Pixar characters at Pixar Plaza.

Street encounter in Galaxy's Edge -- First Order troopers search the crowd for Resistance sympathizers.

A six-person motion simulator that puts guests in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon on a smuggling run — two pilots steer, two gunners shoot, two engineers handle shields and repairs. Single Rider skips the main queue but you don't pick your role and usually end up as an engineer. The cockpit shakes and responds to your button-mashing, but the outcome doesn't really matter.

A separate entrance to Rise of the Resistance that skips the main standby queue — useful when posted wait times exceed 90 minutes, though you'll still wait and you'll miss the pre-show briefing room. Parties are split up to fill empty seats on ride vehicles. Not always open; check the app before committing to the walk.

A 30-minute Broadway-style stage show retelling the animated film's story with live actors, singers, and dancers in full costume. The outdoor theater seats 1,500 under a covered canopy — midday showtimes are popular for the shade, and the production values are higher than most theme park stage shows.

Villain-led stage show on Sunset Boulevard.

Single rider access for Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets. Same launched coaster experience (0 to 57 mph, three inversions, Electric Mayhem soundtrack) with single rider queue to fill empty seats. Wait times are significantly shorter than standby. Single rider is not eligible for Lightning Lane.
