    Default Best things about Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I thought it would be fun to make threads dedicated to each Disney Florida theme park so fans can tell others what they uniquely love about them.

    This one is for Disney's Hollywood Studios.

    Please tell us what you think are the best things about DHS, and this is the hard part, that you can't find in the other parks.

    I'll start:

    Despite its changing nature, it still reminds me of old-time Hollywood. The Great Movie Ride is a must-see for me -- it recreates all the old films I love and reminds me I need to watch them again.

    What else?
    Many visits over 35+ years!
    DVC member since 2004 (SSR)

    Stayed at: Bay Lake Tower, Polynesian, Contemporary, Wilderness Lodge, Boardwalk, Beach Club, Dolphin, PO Riverside, AS Sports, AS Movies, Saratoga, Vero Beach, Hilton Head, Aulani, Disneyland Hotel, and Grand Californian.

    The Tune-In Lounge with it old tv programs.
    The only park I can count on getting turned around, and even lost in, no matter how many times I've been there.

    I love the Animation Academy. We have some fabulous drawings that my not so artistic family produced during our visits over the years.

    I also really love the One Man's Dream exhibit. My favourite part is Walt's office.

    The area-specific music. Walking throug the park and enjoying the atmosphere. The last thing everyday - find a bench on Sunset Blvd directly across from a speaker and enjoying the big band music. Mom always enjoyed doing this and it has been a tradition to this day, especially hearing her favorite song - "Sing Sing Sing". A perfect way to end a perfect day.

    Agree with all the others... just to add a few items.
    1. Tower of Terror
    2. Tower of Terror
    3. Oh yeah... Tower of Terror

    Love everything about it, the theming of the queue, interior, the music, and of course the ride!

    This is my least favorite park but I still there are a couple of things I love about it.

    1. The Great Movie Ride-my favorite ride in the park, but it does need some updating
    2. Fantasmic-a great show everyone must see at least once
    3. Starring Rolls-One of our favorite counter services in any park
    4. This is really the only park that you can find the Muppets

    We love the TS restaurants. We always have a lunch at SciFi. Love 50's. And the Hollywood Brown Derby is our favorite in all WDW.

    ToT - my favorite ride in Disney World!
    RnR - It has so many wonderful memories with my dad.

    Prime Time/Tune In Lounge - Its the only place we'll eat at HS, but it's a must-do for every trip!

    Love, love love the animation academy.

    Its one of the few places in WDW that you walk out with a "free" souvenir.
