We’ve all been there: you’re standing in line for a Disney World attraction, ice-cold drink in hand, when a Cast Member points to the sign that says no food or drink allowed inside. Cue the frantic chugging, or worse, the walk of shame to the nearest trash can to toss a drink you just paid $6 for.
So refreshing!
But here’s some good news for your wallet — there are a few attractions at Disney’s Hollywood Studios where you don’t have to make that choice. Grab your drink, find a seat, and enjoy the show. Here are 3 spots where you can bring your beverage right in with you, plus where to grab a good one nearby.
1. Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
This outdoor amphitheater on the backlot is home to explosions, stunts, and a runtime that can stretch past 30 minutes once you factor in the pre-show. Because it’s an open-air venue, Cast Members allow guests to bring in drinks (and snacks) to enjoy while Indy does his thing. That’s a big deal on a hot Florida afternoon when you’ve been standing in the sun waiting for a seat.
Drink pick: Stop by Oasis Canteen, tucked right between Indiana Jones and Star Tours, before you queue up. It’s one of the most convenient spots in the park for a quick drink before heading in.

2. Beauty and the Beast — Live on Stage
Over at the Theater of the Stars on Sunset Boulevard, this Broadway-style musical is another open-air venue where outside drinks are fair game. Performances run several times a day, and since there’s no reentry once you’re seated, having a drink with you means you’re not stuck thirsty through the whole show.
Drink pick: Detour to BaseLine Tap House before heading to Sunset Boulevard. It’s known for its rotating craft beer selection, but don’t sleep on the non-alcoholic options either if you’re just after something cold and refreshing to carry in with you.

3. For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration
Over in the Hyperion Theater in Echo Lake, you can belt out “Let It Go” alongside Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff without leaving your drink behind at the entrance.
Drink pick: The ABC Commissary sits just behind the Hyperion Theater, making it about as convenient as it gets. It’s also one of the few Hollywood Studios quick-service spots with both indoor and outdoor seating, so it’s an easy stop before showtime. You can grab a Watermelon Margarita or the Happy Daze cocktail before the show.
