Disney's Hollywood Studios Top 10
So here we go!
1. Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage - You certainly want to check the schedule for this and plan around it! Head down Sunset Boulevard and don't miss it!
2. Voyage of the Little Mermaid - make sure you don't promise your little ones they won't get wet in here! I did once and as usual, Disney amazes me! I am also amazed at the puppetry going on in here and how active the cast must be!
3. The Magic of Disney Animation is one of those places that is tucked away and easy to miss. The ONLY reason I EVER went in was because of Carol Beth - she insisted that we all go in during one of our training sessions, so who was I to argue! Now here it is on my top ten list! Inside you will find numerous things to do but topping my list is Animation Academy - take a seat and learn how to draw one of your favorite characters - of course you are gonna be bad at this, after all how many of YOU loved art in school - I for one FLUNKED it!
4. Pizza Planet - to know me is to know I love pizza and can eat it everyday without tiring. The Pizza Planet is like stepping into the Toy Story movies - and they have personal pizza's, salads and of course those yummy Mickey shaped rice krispie treats...not to mention games galore! There's plenty of seating upstairs!
5. The Great Movie Ride - I thoroughly love the props and costume displays that entertain as you make your way to the main theatre where you can then enjoy a visual trip through movie land before boarding your Great Movie Ride!
6. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster - YES it Stars Aerosmith - yes it's loud - yes it's fast and flips upside down for a bit -and I am STILL SHOCKED I went on this TWICE. I haven't been on a roller coaster in 16 years and I hated that one.........so it took A LOT to get me on this. Will I do it again? I have NO IDEA, only time will tell! It was however my FAVORITE roller coaster EVER so that says a lot about how awesome it is.
7. Characters - While enjoying all the pictures I have taken of my Disney trips I realized that DHS has the best characters - I mean Mickey is GREAT and so are the princesses but what I like the most about the Characters at DHS is that they are the new ones and they change - for instance we have pics with Ratatoulli and Remy, the Up Characters and unfortunately we missed Bolt! We found Kim Possible, The Incredibles, and many more! Some of these special characters can be found in The Magic of Disney Animation building - so don't skip it, even if you DID flunk art!
8. American Idol Experience - I highly recommend checking this out especially if you know someone that gets picked! When we went a special someone we knew made it to the final show and it was super exciting!
9. Walt Disney: One Man's Dream - come on inside browse the displays and then be inspired by a film about the Man who inspired the whole place!
10. Block Party Bash - my absolute FAVORITE afternoon parade. We happened on this by accident because, well the kids are pretty grown up now and the attraction wait times are lower during the parades so we tend to skip the afternoon ones - but this one was awesome - it wasn't the same old same old - if you know what I mean! Disney has outdone itself with this parade!
And that's IT, can you believe it I stopped at 10.............
If you've missed the rest of my Top Ten Series then check them out here!
I would love to see your Top Ten for all the Walt Disney World Theme parks - go ahead and leave a comment!
What a great list. As I read through I could see each ride or stop and it makes the memory alive again. I am still amazed that you did Rockin' Roller Coaster. If I had to guess, I would say that you will Rock Out Again. One of the things I liked about the Animation Academy is that you got to take your drawing with you so make sure you have a way to transport your masterpiece. OK, I will add #11 for you , it would have to be capping the night off at Fantasmic when you can get a seat in the middle section. How about a #12 - really cool Disney luggage to purchase.

I remember giggling like school girls when we did the Animation Academy. I still have that Goofy drawing somewhere.

WOW! I made the Top 10 list. Oh ok, maybe not me personally, but thanks for the pic. I will have to agree with you. Never thought I would do it, and have to say it was the highlight of the entire trip for me. What an experience and thanks so much again for cheering me on and missing your scheduled dinner! You are the best! From a contestant point of view it is TOPS for me on the Best of DHS!
