If you've been looking for a Lightning Lane strategy guide for your next trip to Hollywood Studios, you'll definitely want to check out our latest video. We break down our latest tips, tricks and strategies for booking ALL the rides in this park without spending all day staring at your phone.
Here are some of our best tips from the video:
1) Make your first Lightning Lane a show – and make it as soon as the park opens.
Unless you have the good fortune to pre-book one of the top rides right at park open, we'd recommend that you consider starting with a show. As soon as you tap in, you are free to book another Lightning Lane (including another of those coveted Tier One attractions) and while you are sitting comfortably in your seat, you can take the time you'll need to book, modify and perfect your next Lightning Lane. You can also modify your other pre-booked rides to get the times improved. Best of all, you'll also get to enjoy a show with minimal crowds and lots of room to spread out.
2) Toy Story Mania and Tower of Terror are trickier to book than they seem.
Don't let their Tier 2 classification fool you, these rides are very popular and since everyone can start their day with TWO Tier 2 attractions and only one Tier 1, these rides end up being surprisingly hard to grab – even later in the day.
3) Want to meet some characters? Try Hollywood & Vine.
Now that character meet and greets are not included in Lightning Lane Multi Pass, you might want to consider a character dining experience like Hollywood & Vine to avoid the long standby queues. Another option is to meet roaming characters who don't typically have a formal queue like Chewbacca and The Mandalorian and Grogu in Galaxy's Edge.
