The Muppets

Many people have considered Jim Henson a genius. His iconic characters, like Kermit the Frog and Ms. Piggy are iconic. Tucked away inside Hollywood Studios is a little area that any Muppets fan must visit.

While a little silly, the Muppet Vision 3D is an experience that true Muppets fans love. All the classic characters make an appearance. More importantly, it captures the feeling that made this franchise so special. Although the special effects might be a little dated, the feel good moment is definitely worth the stop.

Step into a Pixar world

With the expansion of Toy Story Land, the Pixar influence at Hollywood Studios is huge. Beyond the three fun rides, this area encourages everyone to be a kid again. From the larger than life toys to the whimsical colors, the happiness that this area conveys is infectious.

Going forward, this theme park continues to embrace more Pixar experiences. With a Pixar themed dance party to a new Lightning McQueen show experience, more of those beloved characters will be jumping off the screen and into the real world.

Unique dining experiences

While many people want to be a dining guest at Disney, Hollywood Studios offers some of the most unusual dining experiences. From actually dining inside a classic car at the Sci-Fi Drive In Theater to a replica of the iconic Brown Derby restaurant, these dining experiences truly capture the movie-themed inspiration.
