Specific ride hours

One thing you should remember while visiting any theme park at Disney World is that the opening and closing times of the theme park might not coincide with the opening and closing times of every attraction.

Some attractions might close before the closing time of Hollywood studios. Hence you must check the closing time of the particular attraction you plan to visit well before visiting the theme park.

You can never really predict the opening times in advance. So keep an eye on the park website to get the latest update about the attraction.

You can also check the My Disney experience app and click the attraction you plan to visit. It will show you the hours the attraction is open on that particular day.

Witnessing your favorite attraction being closed two hours before your visit can break your heart. Hence you must check the closing time of the attraction you are planning to visit. Hollywood studio’ hours will give you a basic layout of the total period for which these attractions might stay open.

Staying late at Hollywood studios

One thing you should be clear about while visiting Hollywood studios is that closing time does not mean you will have to vacate the park immediately.

Closing time means you cannot stand in a queue for any new ride. However, you might be granted extra time if there are any ride breakdowns or capacity issues.

But that is an unusual situation upon which you should not rely. If you are already standing in a line and meanwhile, the park approaches its closing, you’re still allowed to finish your ride.

Moreover, this is a great time to do some remaining shopping as the stores at the forefront of the park remain open.

Moreover, the nighttime spectacles like the wonderful worlds of animation and Fantasmic can end right at the park’s closing time. But this depends on the precise regime for that particular day.
