Hollywood Studios' Quiet, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Reigns

Advice for 2026-09-07 · Published Sep 7, 2026, 7:16 AM ET

Archived briefing. Hours, prices, availability, and recommendations may have changed. Check today’s dashboard.

A-hyuck, Hollywood Studios is one of the quietest it's been — a 4/10 crowd with only ~28-minute average waits today. That means the headline rides are yours to enjoy without the splurge: Rock 'n' Roller Coaster (with the new Muppets theme) at 60 min, Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway at 55, and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is the one worth a Lightning Lane Single Pass ($25-35) since it's always the deep one. Just one heads-up — Slinky Dog Dash is temporarily down, so don't build your whole day around it. Meet-and-greet gold: Joy and Edna Mode in Pixar Plaza, and Ariel and Olaf nearby. Park closes at 9 PM tonight. With the weather so rough after 6 PM, make Hollywood Studios your midday park and ride air-conditioned attractions like Test Track and the Tower of Terror until the storms roll in.
