Disney's Hollywood Studios Park


On with the Show!


Hollywood Studios is where my heart is, as it’s where my Disney adventure as a Cast Member began! It’s home to my favourite ride, The Rock ‘n’ Roller coaster 
and also my favourite restaurant, Mama Melrose.

The park is dedicated to the glitz and glamour of Hollywood’s Golden age, where the magic of the movies comes to life on stage, screen, shows & rides. From the moment you enter the park, you’ll feel like you’re on a movie set taking a starring role in your own show. We would recommend a full day to explore this park, but two if you have the time to experience all that Hollywood has to offer!

Disney's Animal Kingdom Park

Have a Wild Adventure!




This park is unique in the way it reflects Walt Disney's passion for animals, nature and conservation. A creative blend of continents, cultures, tastes, sights and sounds which is home to over 250 different species from the animal kingdom. This park could be covered in a day but to get really immersed in all the magic we would recommend setting aside two days to schedule in all the shows and character spots. 

Although, unfortunately, Walt Disney was not involved in the conception of this park his vision and imagination are clearly observed throughout.

A little extra magic

A trip to this park would not be complete without experiencing 'Festival of The Lion King' and 'Finding Nemo - The Musical'. Both are Broadway style shows which are fantastic for all the family to experience! It's also a great way to gain some shade from the mid-day sun! 

Ending the night with a bang:  To protect the wonderful animals within the park there are no fireworks, and currently Disney's Animal Kingdom does not have an evening offering. However this makes for a great excuse to visit The Rainforest Cafe situated just outside the park entrance or head over to another park for fireworks!

Disney Imagineers are currently creating "Rivers of Light"- an exciting nighttime extravaganza which is set to feature water, lights and music! 

Parade: Currently there is not a parade at Disney's Animal Kingdom due to expansion within the park. This is to make way for the exciting Avatar inspired land due to be completed in 2016.
