- Remember to bring your camera, but don't worry: If you forget, cameras, film and batteries are always available for purchase in the Park.
- Be sure to bring water and sun screen. Having a poncho, umbrella or light raincoat might be a good idea, too.
- Remember to drink plenty of liquids during your visit.
- Don't forget the Backlot Tour featuring flash floods, fire and plenty of behind-the-scenes movie magic.
- There are two ATMs at Disney-MGM Studios: one just outside the Park entrance and one inside Toy Story Pizza Planet.
- Many of the attractions and shows stop admitting guests prior to the Park's official closing time. Attractions that you may enter up until the very last minute include Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, "The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror"", The Great Movie Ride, Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3-D, and Star Tours.
- Don't forget to bring your autograph book to Mickey Avenue at Disney-MGM Studios where you can find your favorite characters.
- Look for the Disney photographer at the entrance to the Park to get that magical memory of your day at Disney-MGM Studios.
- The shops on Hollywood Boulevard are open a half hour past Park closing.
- Check the Studios "tip board" on the corner of Sunset and Hollywood Boulevards for daily show times and updated wait times.
- Check the Disney-MGM Studios Times Guide for show times and Park hours.
- Many Disney Cast Members are fluent in more than one language. The flags on their nametags indicate which languages they speak.
- For a full-service meal, make reservations when you arrive at the Park at either Guest Relations or the desired eatery. Or make advance plans by calling 407-WDW-DINE (939-3463)†.
- Be sure to keep your ticket and have your hand stamped upon exiting the Park if you wish to return later the same day.
- Take advantage of Disney's FASTPASS® service. You can enjoy the rest of the park while FASTPASS saves your place in line.
- If your party decides to split up, remember to set a meeting place and time. But try not to pick any place too trafficked or it may be difficult to find your party.
- Measure your child's height before you arrive at the Park so you know which attractions he or she is able to ride. All height requirements are listed on this Web site.
- Study a map of the Park prior to your arrival to become familiar with the location of the attractions you are most interested in.
- With so much to see and do at the Walt Disney World® Resort, we encourage you to wear casual clothes and comfortable shoes.
