10 Tips and Secrets For Doing Disney's Hollywood Studios

3. Do Your Shopping Late

The shops on Hollywood Boulevard stay open a half-hour past park closing. This is a great time to browse and get your shopping done for the day. Believe it or not, the shops aren’t that crowded at night. The heavy crowds leaving the park, especially after Fantasmic, can’t cut through the shops because they don’t all connect like they do on Main Street, U.S.A. It’s convenient to shop late because you won’t have to drag your souvenirs with you all day. Hollywood Boulevard is also beautifully lit at night, which makes it an appealing time to stick around.
