At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the crowd following Fantasmic at the end of the evening can be a lot to handle. Luckily there is a secret way you can enjoy some additional time at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to avoid the evening rush.

This secret will allow you to spend additional time in Disney’s Hollywood Studios after closing. This means avoiding the crowds and enjoying an empty Disney Hollywood Studios.

The Secret Reservation

The secret to staying at Disney’s Hollywood Studios after closing is to snag a late-night reservation at Oga’s Cantina. Oga’s Cantina is located back in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Bounty hunters, smugglers, traders, and travelers like yourself come together in this watering hole at this cantina.

The key to staying after closing in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is making the last reservation at Oga’s Cantina for the evening. Even when Disney’s Hollywood Studios closes at 9:00 p.m., you can often find reservations at Oga’s Cantina for 9:40 p.m. and evening later.

Snag those late-night reservations so you can stay in Disney’s Hollywood Studios after it closes for the evening. Remember, reservations become available at 6 am EST, 60 days before your check-in day. You can make all reservations on the My Disney Experience app or the website.

If you aren’t able to make the reservation or the time you want, keep checking back. Availability changes all the time, so don’t give up hope. Even though Oga’s Cantina remains extremely popular, reservations have become slightly easier to get.

Don’t rush out of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Instead, make that late-night reservation at Oga’s Cantina for an excellent end to your day in the Park.

Oga’s Cantina

At Oga’s Catina, customers can refuel by trying out many exotic concoctions and enjoy music by the fantastic DJ R-3X, a former Starspeeder 3000 pilot. For those Star Wars fans that dream about visiting one of the infamous watering holes of the galaxy, Oga’s Cantina allows that dream to become a reality.

Oga’s Cantina offers a limited menu focused on unique concoctions. Specialty drinks such as Fuzzy Tauntaun, Jedi Mind Trick, and The Outer Rim are all top drink choices for visitors to Oga’s Cantina. These drinks are premixed, so although Oga’s Cantina is a bar, what you see on the menu is what you can choose from. Oga’s Cantina also offers fun non-alcoholic drinks for those who aren’t big drinkers. Hyperdrive, Jabba Juice, Carbon Freeze, and even a Black Spire Brew can be enjoyed by younger travelers or those not wanting an alcoholic drink.

The snacks at Oga’s Cantina are minimal. Focusing on either Batuu Bites or Happabore Sampler, we highly recommend skipping the snacks and enjoying the unique drinks. The snacks are expensive and leave a lot to be desired.

Oga’s Cantina is all about community and people coming together. Because of this, Guests visiting are often seated together. There are limited booths and tables. You usually stand at the bar or sit with other travelers. Keep that in mind as you prepare for your visit.

An Empty Disney’s Hollywood Studios
