HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS
HollywooD Studios
Every good movie starts with a hero, who meets an enemy; a nemisis.
When it comes to Hollywood Studios, I know exactly who the bad guys is: doubt.
Are there enough things to do with my toddler? Where should we eat? Is it worth a full park day? What if we're not huge Star Wars fans??
You've got a (chill, organized + fun) friend in me.
and that hero? it's about to be you.
First, there are some things you need to know.

You know, the ones where you feel like you can catch your breath, sip on a mimosa, and your cheeks hurt from laughing?
I learned that our days in Hollywood Studios felt a LOT more relaxed when we weren't first in line, or used a minute-by-minute timeline.
But when I had a plan in place based around my little family. Ready to learn how?

TAKE ME TO CHECKOUT!
As a (very) tired mom, I've come to love that Hollywood Studios takes the least amount of walking out of any of the parks. Seriously, it's great.
I have a good feeling about this.
I think we can all agree that being in charge of the vacation-decisions may be the worst part of Disney World, right?
You want your husband to have fun, the kids to have fun, and just hope that maybe you'll have a *little* fun, too, if you're lucky.
And I'm assuming -- like most moms -- everyone is looking to you to figure this all out.
hey there!
Here's the big secret...
You are the best person to plan your vacation. Not me, not a travel agent, not your Disney-loving friend (bless her), just you.
The truth is, your vacation isn't going to be *magical* because of where you're going, it's because your family is going to make it that way.
I'm Dana, and it took me years to realize that my girls aren't going to remember how many rides we got on, but how they felt while we were there.
You bought your tickets. You have your park reservations and picked out a really cute outfit. You feel like you've done all the "work". But instead of basking in your greatness, you're feeling stressed about what to do once you get there.
