There are so many things to see and do at Disney’s Hollywood Studios but some of my favorite times there have been doing nothing at all. It’s nice to take a break from the heat and take in the scenery, I wisely decide to do this while my family is riding Tower of Terror.
Here are my top 5 places to find solitude at Hollywood Studios
1. Tower of Terror – The benches are rod iron and aren’t so comfortable, but I love the location outside of the Tower of Terror gift shop. Under the overhang of the roof you can enjoy a quiet spot on the bench and enjoy the intricately themed window displays, hear the screams from the ride you wisely opted out of and even grab a cup of coffee from the cart nearby. I especially love this spot at night, when the sun goes down it intensifies the theme of the Tower of Terror even more.
2. Starring Rolls Cafe -This busy cafe is rarely uncrowded but still makes it on my list because of the excellent coffee and sweet treats. I recommend having someone from your party secure a table before the other goes in to order, there aren’t many tables and the cafe is small inside, so divide and conquer is key on this one!
3. Muppet Vision – Depart from the galaxy of Tattooine and head toward Kermit’s Balloon, right outside of the brick building where the bathrooms are located there are benches. I love this spot at night when the sun is down and the park is less crowded. There are so many things happening in this spot…you can hear the water of the muppets fountain, smell the pizza from Pizza Planet and hear Kermit and Miss Piggy singing songs from their movies. When your feet are rested you’ll want to get moving, or else you’ll have “daffodils, Miss Piggy, whippoorwills, Miss Piggy…” stuck in your head all night long!
4. Sunset Strip – Stay to the right of the street on Sunset Boulevard (heading toward the tower) and when you exit the last gift shop you’ll come to a small culdesac, this is a nice place to have a seat where you won’t get run over the crowds.
5. Studio Catering Co. is a popular place for lunch, but one we never stopped at until our last trip (Star Wars Weekends). I can’t believe we’ve been missing out on this delightful lunch experience for all these years! The tables are all shaded, with large fans blowing overhead and the menu is excellent considering it’s a quick service! Greek salads, wraps, panini sandwiches…it’s a delicious spot to relax and fuel up for your next adventure.

My bis sis is taking her two boys, 7 and 10, who both have Aspergers to WDW for the first time…I will fwd her to this entry , we always need good quiet things as their anxiety level is a little high, but the still love to have fun 🙂
My family went a few weeks back. Hubby rode Tower of Terror while I waited with our 5 year old. We wandered up to the exit, saw the benches in the needed shade and the cart. I bought smoothies for both of us, and we chilled in the shade and people watched while we waited.
You might need to run it by her husband first..lol
I’ve decided that you, Michelle should just come with us to Disney so that I don’t miss out on the secrets.
I like to sit and relax on the wall at the dead end, by the exit of ToT.
I like to watch the people go by on New York Ave. and listen to the sounds of traffic that they play on the loudspeaker. You never know who or what you’ll spot while you sit there.

Love the Muppet area. It is usually always less crowded. Can be peaceful
