I recently visited Disney’s Hollywood Studios to see the latest progress on the expansion of the park, so here’s some photos of what I found of interest while I was there:
A Nike polo shirt koins the assortment of new Studios merchandise
Also, this ladies sweatshirt
The pressed penny machines inside Mickey’s of Hollywood are gone
Additional banners were put up outside of One Man’s Dream for the Zootopia preview
Zootopia billboard replaces Star Wars
The limited edition Kylo Ren MagicBands are still available at Watto’s Grotto
New York Street awaits closure on April 2nd
More walls have gone up around the Premiere Theater as they have begun to gut the interior
Some more fun stuff painted on the walls for Pizza Planet while it is closed
Based on the style of comedy, we’re guessing this will become a Muppets restaurant
The planter outside of Backlot Express is being removed to accommodate bigger crowds for Trials of the Temple
Work has begun on what we believe to be a new meet and greet area for the park in the former American Idol audition area
Zootopia merchandise slowly hitting the parks
Taking in some Streetmosphere
Finally found the January birthstone pin, now back in stock
Some interesting changes being made at Sunset Ranch Market
They are covering more seating and walkways to better serve guests when it rains
Found more fo the new home goods in Celebrity 5 & 10
No visible progress back here yet…
Always need a Chinese Theater picture on the way out…
Can you tell me if any of the characters that were in Animation area are still in HS since Star Wars Launch Bay opened? I thought I read somewhere that Sorcerer Mickey is somewhere but I can’t remember where they said he was. I know Baymax went to EPCOT; are the Incredibles anywhere anymore? We are coming in 18 days and those are some of my daughter’s favorites.
THanks!
Like you said, Baymax is now at Epcot, however, without Hiro. The Incredibles (Mr., Mrs., and Frozone) still do their dance party in Tomorrowland and although it is not a photo-op, you can still get a photo with them as long the characters are okay with it. Sorcerer Mickey is meeting right outside of Pixar Place in the Soundstage that used to house the Legend of Jack Sparrow experience, right next to Toy Story Mania. Minnie has a meet and greet in her pick dress right outside Launch Bay with the rest of the Disney Junior characters.
Well that picture of what used to be the Phineas and Ferb section gutted me.
What is Trials of the Temple ?
Jedi Training Academy, the new show
I,m hoping that the new Jedi training academy, will let adults train as Jedi.
