A New Entrance for Autos at Disney’s Hollywood Studios Opens Nov. 8; Continues Park’s Arrival Experience Transformation

Take note, a new entrance for vehicles at Disney’s Hollywood Studios® is opening on Nov. 8, 2018, changing how you arrive and access parking at the theme park.

As many of you know, we’re currently reimagining Disney’s Hollywood Studios and preparing for the park’s exciting 30th anniversary in 2019. Along with the work, Disney is also transforming the park’s arrival experience to make it easier and more convenient to come and go.

Look at this map and you’ll see the transportation change you need to be aware of. Beginning Nov. 8, 2018, guests driving to Disney’s Hollywood Studios will use the new entrance and exit located off of Osceola Parkway. The current main entrance off World Drive and Osceola Parkway will be repurposed for Disney Cast Members only and the satellite entrance on Buena Vista Drive will be dedicated to buses.

When the new entrance opens, drivers will just need to spot one of the many updated roadway signs throughout the Walt Disney World Resort to easily navigate to the Disney Hollywood Studios parking lot. Vehicles coming from southbound Victory Way will also find a connecting road leading to the park.

Keep checking for future updates on work to improve the arrival experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, including expanded parking, adjusted tram lanes, additional bus parking and the Disney Skyliner.
