The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™
Sunset Boulevard

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™

LL MULTI PASS · T2·Thrill Ride

A 13-story drop tower disguised as a haunted 1930s Hollywood hotel, where guests board a service elevator that lurches through a supernatural dimension before plunging 130 feet in randomized drop sequences. The ride system uses cables to pull the elevator down faster than freefall — you lift out of your seat. Disney's most elaborate queue and storytelling justify the permanent 60-minute standby line.

Toy Story Mania!
Toy Story Land

Toy Story Mania!

LL MULTI PASS · T2·Moderate Thrill

A 4D interactive shooter where two-rider cars rotate between five carnival-game booths, with riders pulling string-launchers to fling pies, darts, and balls at on-screen Toy Story–themed targets for points. Family-friendly carnival energy; one of the few rides where you genuinely want a second go.

Sunset Boulevard

Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage

Family Friendly

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.

Echo Lake

Indiana Jones™ Epic Stunt Spectacular!

Family Friendly

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.

Meet Edna Mode at the Edna Mode Experience

Family Friendly

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.

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Single Rider

Moderate Thrill

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.
