Disney's Hollywood Studios with Toddlers and Preschoolers

Disney World is the perfect vacation for those with kids of all ages – and even those that don’t have kids, but re kids at heart. Each age group will love some experiences more than others, but no matter what you, and your kids, will love your trip. Our family is currently right in the middle of the toddler and preschooler phase. And that means that we know all about experiencing the magic of Disney with an adventurous toddler. (We’ll also be experiencing the parks with a baby again on our next trip, too.) Toddlers and preschoolers truly believe in the magic, and it’s so much fun to see everything from their point of view. So far we’ve covered Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and Epcot, and today we have for you the best toddler and preschooler experiences at Hollywood Studios.

Characters – Just like the other three parks Hollywood Studios has no shortage of unique characters. You’re little ones can meet Disney Junior favorites like Jake and Sofia, Chewbacca, Kylo Ren and BB-8 from Star Wars, Olaf from Frozen, Star-Lord from Guardians of the Galaxy, Woody, Buzz and Jessie from Toy Story, and Mickey and Minnie.

Disney Junior Live on Stage – From now until the beginning of September your little ones can learn, dance and sing along with their Disney Junior favorites. After September, sometime this Fall the Disney Junior Dance Party will take its place! The Disney World website states, “Show off your moves, catch bubbles and laugh yourself silly at a fun-filled party featuring favorite Disney Junior Characters and music. Get in the groove on the dance floor as DJ Deejay gets the celebration started—playing songs you know from the shows you love. Host Finn Fiesta welcomes Disney Junior pals to this star-studded event, and you get to say hello by “spinning” them in: ready, set, twirl!

Now, join Doc McStuffins and cure your dance fever during a fun-filled, feel-good musical number. Fill the room with “Zuka Zama Zum Zum” alongside Timon from The Lion Guard. And get down and boo-gie with everyone’s favorite vampire girl, Vampirina. While you shake it up, special guest Mickey Mouse from Mickey and the Roadster Racers is driving in from Hot Dog Hills to join the excitement. The suspense builds as you await his arrival. Can he make it in time to be part of the festivities? Come find out… at a party packed with interactive fun and surprises for kids of all ages!”

Star Tours – If your little ones, that meet the height requirement of 40in, love Star Wars and don’t mind 3D journeys that move they’ll love this journey through the Star Wars universe. Each time you ride will be a different story line!

Disney states, “Join the celebration and share your love of the Star Wars saga—now conveniently located in your galaxy at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
