Hollywood Studios has a few can't miss rides, a few other rides, and a ton of shows! This is a half-day park for me, but still a lot of fun.
Hollywood Studios is divided into areas named after streets. Here is my guide to all the attractions at Hollywood Studios.
Hollywood Boulevard & Echo Lake
The Great Movie Ride
A live action tour through different movie sets. The drivers acts out scenes throughout the tour.
Height Requirements: None
FP+ Available: Available. Ride in the evening for less of a line.
Fear Factor: May be scary for children who don't understand the difference between acting and realty.
The American Idol Experience
Like the TV show with guests singing and judges judging. The winner each day gets a ticket to audition for the real American Idol. The last show of the day has the highest quality talent.
Height Requirements: None
FP+ Available: Available, but not needed
Fear Factor: Only scary when you get a bad singer
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
Live action show that goes behind the scenes of how stunts are done in movies.
Height Requirements: None
FP+ Available: Available, but not needed. Tons of room in the theater, but show up about 30 minutes in advance to get a decent seat.
Fear Factor: Some kids might get scared of the gun shots and explosions
Star Tours
3D flight simulator that takes you through Star Wars scenes (you will often get different ride experiences)
Height Requirements: 40"
FP+ Available: Available, but ride in the morning or evening and you won't need it
Fear Factor: If you're sensitive to 3D or simulators, don't ride.
Streets of American & Commissary Lane

Studio Backlot Tour
Tour behind the scenes where props and costumes are made. You also get to see a couple action shows during the tour.

MuppetVision3D
3D show featuring the Muppets
