DHS Open Late — Ride Rise Early, Shop the New Animation Merch

Advice for 2026-09-16 · Published Sep 15, 2026, 9:01 PM ET

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

A-hyuck! Hollywood Studios is open LATE tomorrow till 9:30 PM, and The Magic of Disney Animation is the draw with new characters and limited-release pins. My plan: rope drop Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (Lightning Lane $25–35) while waits sit low around 26 minutes, then hit the reimagined Animation Courtyard for the brand-new Baymax Sipper and the official Pin Trading Bags. The Magic of Disney Animation pins are limited release, so grab 'em before they're gone. Note: Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue is closed tomorrow, so book a different meal. Use that extra evening time wisely — the park stays lively past 9. Pack sun protection and a light shell; showers are possible. Gawrsh, it's one of the better days on the calendar. Ride smart, shop slow, and save the merch for the afternoon!
