Expansion
At the 2017 D23 Expo, Disney announced that the Great Movie Ride would be closing to make way for a brand new attraction themed after the new Mickey Mouse cartoon shorts, called Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, which will be the first Mickey themed ride. Walt Disney Imagineers are working on a new “2 1/2 D” experience to completely immerse riders in the cartoon world without needing 3D glasses. The Great Movie Ride closed on August 13, 2017.
Toy Story Land is a new 11-acres land that transports guests into the adventurous outdoors of Andy’s backyard. Guests will feel like they have been shrunk to Buzz and Woody’s size as they are surrounded by oversized toys, building blocks, plastic buckets and shovels and game board pieces in Andy’s backyard. Two new attractions will be a part of the new land, along with the expanded Toy Story Mania!
- Slinky Dog Dash – This family-friendly coaster will feature a track that Andy built. There will be drops and turns that Andy has created to stretch his slinky dog to the limits.
- Alien Swirling Saucers – The famous little green aliens from the movie will take Guests around for a spin in their very own flying saucers. The music, lighting and sound effects add to the flurry of action, while “The Claw” looms over.
- Toy Story Mania! – Guests glide into the Toy Story Midway Games Play-Set and take aim at 3D objects in a variety of fast-paced games, with an expansion that adds a third track to this popular attraction. The third track is scheduled to open on Memorial Day weekend.

Kids
Baby Care Center
Mothers with infants can visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios worry-free with the services of the Baby Care Centers. The Baby Care Center is located near the main gate at the Guest Services Building.

The Baby Care Center also offer formula, bottles, pacifiers, children’s Tylenol, cold and allergy medication, band-aids, Motrin, children’s undergarments, t-shirts and baseball caps for Guests to purchase in those “baby emergencies.”
Strollers
Stroller rentals are available for single day rentals as well as the length of stay. Visit MFL’s Stroller page for detailed information on stroller rental.
Lost Children
There’s nothing more frightful to parents than the thought of losing their child in the ocean of people inside a theme park. There are many fascinating distractions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and children can wander off in a blink of an eye. Be prepared so that you won’t spend precious vacation time frightened and in search of each other. Have a plan, before your vacation, make and print some Kids Travel IDs. There are many designs to choose from, they’re easy to make, and children love to have their own ID cards.
*Tip* – When you enter Disney’s Hollywood Studios at the beginning of the day, take a picture of your child with your camera, phone, or by a Disney Cast Member on your Photopass. You can then readily show a Cast Member what your child is wearing, and what he/she looks like if you should become separated from your child. Set up a meeting area in the park. Locate a Cast Member so that your child can meet a Cast Member “in person” and will not be afraid of them. Let your child know to look for Cast Members with Disney ID tags and to show the Cast Member their ID cards if they could not find you.
If you become separated, stay in the area and enlist the assistance of a Cast Member to search for your child. Most likely, your child is in the same vicinity looking for you. If you have not located your child after searching the area, and there is more than one adult in your party, split up and have one go to the pre-determined meeting location while another follows the direction of a Cast Member. All lost children will be taken to Lost Children inside the Baby Care Center by a Cast Member if they can not locate the parents in the immediate area.
Height Requirements
Walt Disney World attractions require children under the age of seven to have someone age 14 or older with them in the “same” ride vehicle and the “same” row or the row directly behind them.
Certain attractions also require guests to be of a certain height to ride. Visit our Height Requirement page for height requirements to all Walt Disney World attractions.
Walt Disney World offers Rider Switch so that as many guests as possible can experience an attraction.
MouseForLess Tip: For those traveling with kids, it may be essential to consider educational opportunities at Walt Disney World.

Watch this stirring tribute to animation and behold spectacular sequences celebrating themes like magic, family, adventure, romance, and friendship. Each theme is brought to life through unforgettable moments from beloved films—like Sleeping Beauty, The Incredibles, Coco, and many more.
