Disney’s Hollywood Studios Resort truly has so many things for fans to enjoy. One of the main highlights of Disney’s Hollywood Studios is its dedication to the world of the Star Wars franchise. From the thrilling Star Tours attraction to the Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run ride, Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge allows guests to truly enter the world of Star Wars.

For fans of Pixar’s beloved Toy Story series, Toy Story Land is a must-visit area within the park. Here, guests can shrink down to the size of a toy and explore attractions like Slinky Dog Dash, an exhilarating family coaster, and Toy Story Mania, an interactive 4D game experience.

In addition to these fan-favorite attractions, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is also home to the Hollywood Tower Hotel, home of the thrilling Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride.

Whether you’re a film buff, a Star Wars fanatic, or just someone looking to experience the magic of Disney, Disney’s Hollywood Studios offers something for everyone. From the nostalgia of the past to the excitement of the future, this park provides a unique and memorable experience that will leave you feeling like a star in your own Hollywood blockbuster.

Unfortunately, this typically magical experience at this park was slightly altered for guests visiting today. According to one guest visiting the park area, a Walt Disney World Resort cast member actually informed them that the area was on high alert. This message was enough to evoke panic from the guests.

Decoding This Cryptic Warning

While at a touch point within the park, this guest was informed that the “park was on high alert.” This message was quite confusing to hear, so the guest went to the internet to look for answers. They say:

“High alert:

At Hollywood studios and a cast member told us at the touch points that they park was on high alert anyone know what this means and why”

While no specific reason was cited, another guest claims that the status was given due to the thunderstorms that could be passing over Walt Disney World Resort today. Severe weather warnings are common for Disney due to the tropical weather in the area, so it seems believable that the park will be on high alert if they know a storm system is on the way. The comment says:

“Storms moving through is normally what that means. Which there are several bad thunderstorms Brewing and could pass over Disney World right now.”

While the true reason may remain a mystery for now, it is always important to remember to listen to cast members when it comes to any warnings or alerts they may share. In a situation like this one, it is best to not panic and try to focus on following any orders that may arrive from staff at the resort.
