Disney World Early Park Entry — is it actually worth it? Brad, Linden and Nolan put it to the real test at Hollywood Studios on a crowd level 6 day in April 2026, arriving nearly an hour before park opening to see exactly how much a family can get done with just 30 extra minutes at Hollywood Studios. The results were genuinely impressive.
Disney World Early Theme Park Entry gives guests staying at Walt Disney World Resort hotels 30 minutes of access to the parks before official opening every single day of their stay. Hollywood Studios is widely considered the most valuable park for Early Entry because it has the highest concentration of high-demand attractions — Slinky Dog Dash and Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance both build enormous wait times as the day goes on. Getting even one of those done before the crowds arrive can save you 60 to 90 minutes of standby time. Getting both done is a genuine game changer.
In this full Disney World Early Park Entry test at Hollywood Studios in 2026, Brad walks you through exactly what they rode, in what order, how long everything took, and whether the family was able to get the entire park done in a single day — including Slinky Dog Dash, Toy Story Mania!, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, Star Tours, Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After, and dinner at the 50's Prime Time Café. All done and back at the hotel by 5pm.
