In today’s edition of ,”What annoying thing did Disney, ruiner of vacations everywhere, do today?” we have some entertainment additions and extended hours at Hollywood Studios. So far this year, the Star Wars Fireworks had been added to every single night in January, February, March, and April. But here in May, they have been added to four nights each week – at least at the moment. Disney has also neglected to make changes after the first four weeks, so we don’t yet know the schedule over the very busy Memorial Day Weekend at the end of the month. I would expect to see the fireworks and a second Fantasmic on at least the 29th and 30th. A new show with projection mapping is expected in June, when hopefully the fireworks will return to a nightly schedule.

Obviously if you want to see the fireworks and they are not yet scheduled on the day of your planned visit, you’d need to switch your days around. If you have no interest and your day doesn’t feature the nighttime spectacular, then you can expect it to be a little less crowded than it would be otherwise. I don’t yet have updated attendance expectations for May. My assumption is that Mondays will see a slight uptick at the Studios specifically with the fireworks not scheduled on Tuesdays. But the specific day you visit Hollywood Studios is not all that important. With five rides, it’s not like Toy Story Mania is going to have a 15-minute wait one day and a 75-minute wait at the same time the next. What you decide to do is far more important than the day you decide to do it.
