Mountains of Magic - A Walt Disney World Tips Podcast for Newbies

If there is one Disney World theme park you want to have a strategy for, I think it's Hollywood Studios. What ride should you rope drop? Should you use Genie +? Will Rise of the Resistance break down? (likely) But I'm chatting about all these questions today and helping you create a strategy to get the best use of the early morning hours and early theme park entry (if you have it) at Hollywood Studios!

We'll talk crowds and where you may want to head to avoid them, and the ride I'm definitely not hopping on first.

A quick meal is my jam in Disney World and being able to mobile order and get back to the fun is a must! Today, I'm sharing my top 10 favorite quick service locations in the parks and Disney Springs.
