Best time to ride
When to ride Slinky Dog Dash.
Slinky Dog Dash is the longest line at Hollywood Studios most of the day, and Toy Story Land sits at the back of the park. It's only a little shorter at the open, so walk straight there at Early Entry or rope drop. Otherwise, make it your top-tier Multi Pass pick.

About this data
Built from 307,297 posted-wait samples at Hollywood Studios since Jan 2025. These are Disney's posted standby waits, not timed waits. See how our data works.
Ride Ready builds the wait numbers on this page automatically from those posted waits. The Lightning Lane facts come from our Lightning Lane guide. The board at the top shows the posted wait while the park is open; when it can't, it shows the usual range.
