Sunset Ranch Market is an outdoor collection of six individual stands serving all kinds
of food—barbecue, burgers, sandwiches, turkey legs, salads, ice cream, fruit, snacks, and
more. The common seating area is outdoors. Hollywood Hills Theater offers snacks and
drinks, in addition to a few heartier items like hot dogs for about 90 minutes before Fant-
asmic! starts.

Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage

Major attraction. No. Yes. Low priority. Stage show.

RANKING EMH FP+ TYPE

REQUIREMENTS None.
WHAT TO EXPECT This 25-minute Broadway-style musical features characters, music, and
scenes from Beauty and the Beast . The sets are elaborate, the costumes are first-rate, and
the acting is excellent. SCARY FACTOR None.
WHEN TO GO The first show of the day, usually around 11:45am, is the least crowded. The
last show of the day is the second best bet. EXPECT TO WAIT Arrive at least 20 minutes early.
LENGTH 30 minutes. WHERE TO SIT At least half way up in the center section.

Fantasmic!
RANKING Don't miss. EMH No. A show may be scheduled to start during or after evening
EMH begins, but anyone is welcome to attend. FP+ Yes, low priority in most situations.
There is dedicated FastPass+ seating near the center, but getting a good seat within the sec-
tion requires an early arrival. And choosing Fantasmic! in advance means you won't be
able to schedule a 4th FP+ at an in-park kiosk because the show is so late and you won't
have an opportunity to use your Fantasmic! FastPass+ until the end of the night TYPE Fire-
works and live action show. REQUIREMENTS None.
WHAT TO EXPECT The theater seats about 9,000 people on bleacher seating without backs.
Mickey is the star of the show as he appears on stage with over 50 live performers as film
sequences featuring many best-loved Disney moments and characters, plus Pocahontas,
play on screens made of water, fireworks shoot overhead, and fire and magic potions
abound. SCARY FACTOR Moderate for the young. Mickey is in a considerable amount of
danger with a 40-foot-tall dragon and all the villains. Sit near the back with anxious tod-
dlers for a quick escape if it gets to be too much.
TYPICAL SCHEDULE : Presented once or twice per evening almost every evening of the year.
Show times vary. The second show, if scheduled, will be less crowded. LENGTH 30 minutes.
WHERE TO SIT : Arrive at least 45 minutes early for the first show. Arriving 20 minutes early
is sufficient for the second show. Sit at least half way up, as close to the center as possible.

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster
RANKING Don't miss. EMH Morning, Evening. FP+ Yes. High Tier 1 priority. TYPE Roller
coaster. REQUIREMENTS 44” or taller.
WHAT TO EXPECT An Aerosmith video pre-show explains why you are about to drive really
fast. Next you board a limousine-themed roller coaster vehicle that seats 24 people in rows
of two. The vehicle will then propel out of the gate with the force of a supersonic jet.
