This pre-show is back at my favorite Hollywood Studios attraction!

“Please fill in all available space” is back sooner than any of us anticipated. One of my favorite rides at Hollywood Studios is once again showing the pre-show!

Pre-shows

Various rides throughout the parks host pre-shows, which are fun little rooms or stories you are told before boarding the attraction. They are a fun way to hype you up for the ride and keep you entertained while waiting. Here are a few examples in each park:

Magic Kingdom: Haunted Mansion; Enchanted Tiki Room; Enchanted Tales with Belle; Carousel of Progress

Epcot: Soarin’; Mission: SPACE

Hollywood Studios: Rise of the Resistance; Tower of Tower; Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway; Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster; Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run; Muppet Vision 3D; Star Tours

Animal Kingdom: Flight of, uh, Passage; DINOSAUR

This past week, many have begun returning to the parks! Haunted Mansion just went back to pre-pandemic times with the stretching room pre-show back to normal. You can read about that HERE.

Hollywood Studios

As I (Monica) mentioned above, there are so many pre-shows at Hollywood Studios! My favorite attraction is Tower of Terror, partly because of the pre-show.

The pre-show has returned to Tower of Terror!

I absolutely love this pre-show. It has all that I’m looking for. I am brought out of real life and into the life of the attraction. The Imagineers watched 156 episodes of The Twilight Zone, and it shows because I am absolutely spooked out before even getting on the ride.

The theming and immersive of the ride is probably one of the most underrated in all of Disney World, and I think the pre-show has a lot to do with it.

Hollywood 1939. Amid the glitz and the glitter of a bustling movie town at the height of its golden age, the Hollywood Tower Hotel was a star in its own right.

Who doesn’t have that line memorized?! It’s just classic. And it’s back!
