Hollywood Studios is by far the most unconventional of the four
theme parks in terms of layout and touring strategy, mainly due to the amount
of shows and the schedule these shows follow. Be sure to pick up a times guide
upon entering the park to see the daily show schedule! There are many
experiences for young children, yet the Studios is also home to the most thrilling
attractions found in Walt Disney World.

is a much harder park to "wing it" in since many attractions and shows
only are available at certain times.
