PHOTOS: Take a Look at the MASSIVE Crowds in Disney’s Hollywood Studios Today! 👀

Disney World crowd levels have certainly changed over the past few months.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios Entrance

With changes to capacity limitations and the continued use of the Disney Park Pass theme park reservation system, we’ve been keeping a close eye on the number of people in the Disney World parks. Well, today we noticed a SURPRISING crowd level in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! 

We noticed a sizable volume of people pouring into Disney’s Hollywood Studios this morning, although we wouldn’t say it was a particularly higher level. At least, we wouldn’t say that at FIRST.

Hollywood Studios Crowds

We quickly noticed that wait times in the park were pretty high. As of 11:30AM, many wait times were sitting just under or above an hour long. Whew!

And the crowd levels became super apparent when we stepped into Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. WOW. These are some serious crowds! The congestion here stems from the fact that the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run queue no longer stretches backstage, but it’s still shocking. If you’re still feeling apprehensive about being in crowded areas, this is something to keep in mind! 

Hollywood Studios Crowds

We’ll continue to keep an eye on crowd levels in Disney World in the coming months especially as we head into summer and gear up for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary. As always, stay tuned to DFB for the latest updates!
