Disney Hollywood Studios Parade
A highlight of any visit to Disney World is the parade - and Hollywood Studios parade happens every day. So make sure you find your favorite Disney friends or even villains.
Fantasmic!
An amazing show held at park closing time. The stadium seats 6,000 people but it fills up fast. If you want to be sure of a seat then arrive early or get a Fantasmic Dining Package ahead of time by calling 407 WDW DINE.
Lights Motors Action!
You must not miss the Lights Motors Action Extreme Stunt Show - one of the very best at Disney World Florida. As you can see they get through a lot of tires!
This show is an adaptation of the original version in Disneyland Paris so the set it a street scene in France.
The stadium is huge with 3000 seats but it is a popular show and it can get crowded. At busy times arrive early to get the best seats, but not too early if you have young children who may get tired of waiting!
The Lights Motors Action show runs about 30 minutes and is packed from start to finish with jaw dropping stunts. Well worth it!

Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular
Join in with all the action in this Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular. If you want to be picked as an extra then sit near to the front and go completely wild when the host asks for volunteers. Your odds of getting picked out of the 2000 capacity crowd as pretty low but it is always worth a try if you enjoy being up on stage!
Arrive early or get a Fast Pass. The auditorium does fill up and although there is some standing room at the back this is far from the ideal way to see the show.
Disney Hollywood Studios Great Movie Ride
This replica of Hollywood's Chinese Theater houses the Great Movie Ride. Travel on huge vehicles through some of the greatest movies such as The Wizard of Oz, Raiders of The Lost Ark and Alien.
Lines can be very long for this ride but they do move quickly. It is also one of the most entertaining Disney World line holding areas as you can watch movie clips on a huge screen as you shuffle along the line!

Disney World Tickets
Disney World tickets are a big part of your expenditure for your vacation so it is important that you buy the right ones, and from the right place. Don't get caught up in the scams that are out there.
The most important thing to know is that you must buy either direct from Disney itself or from a trusted authorized Disney World ticket agent. Disney only licences trusted dealers to sell their tickets.
Want to know a great discount agent to buy your Disney tickets from? Discount Disney World Tickets are available from my recommended Disney authorized ticket sellers.
You can make big savings on Disney World tickets. How much? Well here is an example. A family of 4 with 2 adults and 2 kids wanting to buy a 5 Day Magic Your Way Park Hopper Ticket. The savings on these tickets would add up to $47.98. What a simple and safe way to save money on Disney World tickets!
Here are some Disney World ticket tips and secrets.
1. Plan your vacation. Do you research. How many days do you think that you will be at the parks? Advance planning your Disney World vacation really does help - use my free guides to help you get an idea of what each park is like so that you can see where you and your family would like to spend time. It is a lot of fun to look ahead and see what fun things that you and your family will enjoy at Disney World.
2. Do you want to buy a Disney Park Hopper option? the base Disney World ticket is valid for one park on one day. But a Park Hopper option allows you to visit more than one park on the same day. The Park Hopper can be a useful feature for some guests. Check out my comprehensive Park Hopper ticket guide with tips about whether or not this is right for your family at
Disney World Park Hopper Tickets
3. Do you want a non expiration option? All Disney World tickets expire 14 days after they are first used unless you buy a non expiration option. Add a non expiration and keep those unused Disney ticket days for ever. This can be a good option for some people - but think very carefully about how likely you are to use it.
4. Always remember. Only ever buy a Walt Disney World ticket from Disney itself or a Disney authorized ticket agent. Do not fall for the Disney tickets scams - there are plenty out there but they can easily be avoided. Never buy from eBay or an unauthorized seller. You may be very disappointed when you get to the gate and your ticket just doesn't work.
And remember Discount Disney World Tickets are available from my recommended Disney authorized ticket sellers.

It really depends on what kind of rides you enjoy but I would say that Tower of Terror andRock N Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios are a must see. In Epcot Test Track and Soarin' Over California. Magic Kingdom Space Mountain and Animal Kingdom Expedition Everest and Kilimanjaro Safari.
The first week in June is a great time to go as it isn't as crowded as when schools are out. Don't forget to look at my vacation homes at www.solanaorlando.com
