Must Sees/Do's for Hollywood Studios

Best advice is you should have a copy made out of all the show times before you arrive at park

I thought it wasn't possible to get the show times prior to entering the park?
If you can get them where are they?

Try this website

You can click on the parks across the opening page and it will take you to a list of all the different shows, locations and times. It is current for April but will update as you get closer. I think it updates on Sat or Sun for the next week. Usually once it gets in a certain season - it has very little changes from one week to the next. It even includes the smaller shows like the barbershop quartet that roams Main Street, different character appearances and a bunch of stuff I didn't even know existed.

If you just need fireworks, parades, Fantasmic, and Illuminations

While I am sharing that is a little OT - another neat website for characters is
http://home.att.net/~disneysue/characters/wdw/disneycharacters.html
You just click on the character and it will tell you the most likely place to find them !

If your kids want to see characters, a great place is in the animation studios. They have a whole room there with about 8 different characters there at the same time. When I was there, they rotated the characters out about every 30 or hour, so if you stay there long enough, you can get 2 sets of different characters.

My little girl loved that. She tried to take Bolt home with her.
