I made a visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios earlier this week to see the latest progress on all of the ongoing projects at the park, so let’s see what’s new and exciting around the park:
Work continues on what we assume will be where the projectors are going for the new Star Wars fireworks show
The new Center Stage looks almost ready for the new Star Wars show premiering on the 4th
Some work happening around the old show towers
Just a few days left until the Backlot is history
They have wasted no time ripping down the back of the Premier Theater
Work continues on what was Pizza Planet, rumored to now be a Muppets eatery
All of the signage is gone now
If the Writer’s Stop is supposed mto change in some major way come Sunday, there is very little evidence of it yet
Work continues on the new meet and greets for Mickey, Minnie, and Olaf
A look at the other side
A new covered queue area and entrance being installed
The Trolley Car Cafe Starbucks is now testing using the larger doors on Sunset as the entrance
Reel Vogue now sells MARVEL merchandise
Hollywood Junction, which was a pin store for many years and more recently sold hats, is now just a new home for the food carts that once resided in the streets
The cart used to be right outside
There is now a Caprese Sandwich at Backlot Express
Also, a seasonal cupcake
The caprese sandwich actually wasn’t terrible
The Jungle Book preview has now taken over the theater at One Man’s Dream
“They have wasted no time…” is the best April fools joke
Mickey & Minnie would have been in Sunset Blvd instead of Echo Lake so a few more modern day characters would appear here with Olaf(including characters from Zootopia and SVTFOE)
