Do You Know About the Secret Seating Area in Hollywood Studios?

We’re not going to lie — sometimes our biggest complaint about Disney World is that it’s sometimes hard to just find a place to sit!

Hollywood Studios!

And after hours on your feet all day, you’ll totally get where we’re coming from. Social distancing guidelines have also made seating particularly tricky, so we get excited when we find new places to take a chill at the parks!

We have good news for guests visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios. There is now some extra outdoor seating — with tables — at the Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage theater!

Beauty and the Beast Seating

Like a lot of entertainment at Disney World, the show is currently suspended, so Disney is using the extra space to give guests a new place to take a load off. The addition of tables also gives guests a place to eat their snacks while maintaining social distancing!

Seating with tables!

Right now, this area is typically open from Friday through Sunday, when the parks are at their busiest. A Cast Member told us it opens around noon on those days and closes when crowds slow down. Just in time for the lunch rush! Unlike the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular relaxation station, guests can’t actually sit in the seats of the theater, however the area leading up to it is no longer blocked off.

New seating area FTW!

So if you’re at Hollywood Studios at those times, and need to rest your weary legs, head on over to the Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage on Sunset Boulevard! And if we spot any other new seating areas, we’ll be sure to let you know!
