In Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you’ll find the incredibly fun Toy Story Land, an area set up like Andy’s backyard – where you’re the size of all of the toys! Andy has so many favorite toys and of course, the Aliens are some of the most fun – so much so that there’s an entire attraction dedicated to them. Read more
I hear you. You’re not a huge Star Wars fan, and you don’t know a wookie from an ewok. And that’s ok, because whether you love everything about Star Wars and literally can’t wait to experience a galaxy far, far away, or you’re kind of “meh” about the entire thing – the new Galaxy’s Edge part of Disney’s Hollywood Studios is super cool, even for non-fans.
