And don’t overlook the entertainment, dining, and unique experiences! Whether you’re planning a couples getaway, a trip with friends, or a solo Disney adventure, here are the Hollywood Studios experiences we’d put on your list.
Best Rides at Hollywood Studios for Adults
If you love a little adrenaline, Hollywood Studios has several attractions worth prioritizing. Keep height requirements and ride advisories in mind when planning your day.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets
Ready to rock? This high-energy coaster combines a fast launch with inversions, twists, and turns, all with a Muppet-filled musical twist. It’s a great pick for thrill-seekers looking for an exciting start to their Hollywood Studios day.
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
Step into the eerie Hollywood Tower Hotel for a ride filled with suspense, unexpected drops, and plenty of spooky atmosphere. Even if you’ve ridden it before, the anticipation makes this one a classic must-do for many Disney fans.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
Star Wars fans should make time for this immersive attraction. You’ll find yourself in the middle of a battle between the Resistance and the First Order, with impressive sets, storytelling, and unexpected surprises throughout the experience.
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
Ever wanted to pilot the Millennium Falcon? This interactive attraction lets your crew take on different roles during a mission. It’s especially fun when traveling with friends who want to compare how well everyone did.
Slinky Dog Dash
Don’t let the playful Toy Story theme fool you — this family-friendly coaster is fun for adults, too! It winds through Andy’s oversized backyard with hills, turns, and great views of Toy Story Land.
Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
For something a little different, hop into a zany cartoon adventure with Mickey and Minnie. This imaginative attraction is a great reminder that Disney rides don’t have to be extreme to be entertaining.
If you purchase Lightning Lane Multipass, you can use it on all these rides, except for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, where you would need to purchase a Single Pass Lightning Lane. We have more information on Lightning Lane as well.
Explore Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
One of the best parts of visiting Hollywood Studios without kids is having time to explore at your own pace. In Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, you’ll feel transported to the planet Batuu, where the details, sounds, characters, and immersive environment make the land an experience in itself.
Don’t just rush from ride to ride. Take time to explore the shops, enjoy the atmosphere, and look for characters and interactions throughout Black Spire Outpost.
Oga’s Cantina
Looking for a unique stop during your park day? Oga’s Cantina offers an out-of-this-world atmosphere with creative beverages and a lively Star Wars setting. It’s a fun addition to an adults-only itinerary, whether you’re enjoying a drink or simply soaking up the atmosphere.
Advance reservations are recommended when available, and walk-up availability is not guaranteed.
Savi’s Workshop and Droid Depot
Want a souvenir that’s more than a T-shirt? At Savi’s Workshop, eligible guests can participate in a lightsaber-building experience. At Droid Depot, you can create a custom droid.
These experiences have additional costs and specific reservation or availability requirements, so check the official Disney information before your visit.
Don’t Skip the Shows
Hollywood Studios isn’t only about rides. Its live entertainment gives you a chance to sit back, enjoy impressive productions, and take a break from walking.
Fantasmic!
If you stay for one nighttime show, put Fantasmic! on your shortlist. This spectacular combines Mickey’s imagination with Disney characters, music, stunts, water effects, and pyrotechnics.
For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration
The Royal Historians of Arendelle bring humor to this entertaining retelling of Frozen, with familiar songs and a magical finale. Those Royal Historians bring some great humor for us adults! You don’t need kids with you to sing along to Let It Go!
The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure
Enjoy Ariel’s story through music, theatrical effects, puppetry, and a colorful stage production. It’s a great choice for adults who love Disney classics and Broadway-style entertainment.
Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After
For a different side of Disney storytelling, check out this stage show featuring some of Disney’s most infamous villains. It’s a fun addition for guests who love the mischievous side of Disney.
Showtimes and entertainment availability can change, so check Disney’s official entertainment listings for your park date.
Where to Eat and Drink at Hollywood Studios
An adults-only Disney day is the perfect excuse to enjoy a relaxed meal or try something new.
BaseLine Tap House
Located near Grand Avenue, BaseLine Tap House is a casual stop for beer, wine, and snacks. It’s a good option for a break between attractions or a relaxed place to meet up with your travel group.
Oga’s Cantina
If you’re looking for an immersive experience rather than a traditional meal, Oga’s Cantina is worth considering. Its Star Wars setting and creative drinks make it a memorable stop, but remember that it isn’t a full-service restaurant.
Roundup Rodeo BBQ
If you want a sit-down meal, Roundup Rodeo BBQ in Toy Story Land offers a playful, immersive dining experience with barbecue served family-style. It’s not exclusively for children — adults can enjoy the food and theming, too.
