As a great Star Wars fan I love this park. However I think having to book everything through the Disney App has made things a little more difficult. Anyone not familiar with the App may struggle a bit. However Disney Park Attendants are always on hand to help.

Grahame Sandling reviewed Disney's Hollywood Studios 26 May, 2023

Another great park but only wanted to do the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' ride. Therefore I would recommend purchasing a 'Hopper' ticket that way you can enter the park in the afternoon and just do the rides you want to.
