We head back to Disney’s Hollywood Studios for our latest photo report, checking in on Star Wars land, the continuing progress in the Muppets Courtyard, and much more around the Hollywood that never was, but always will be in our minds. At least what is left of it…

Doctor Strange Arrives

The area was still being set up when we arrived at park opening. Kind of “strange” that Toy Story Mania exits into Bleecker Street…

The Doctor Strange show marks the first regular offering to guests with a MARVEL character at Walt Disney World. The Guardians of the Galaxy briefly appeared at the Unleash the Villains event a few years back.

A new enclosed space is being built inside One Man’s Dream. Whether this is for some meet and greet or the AVATAR model remains to be seen.

An enclosed space would allow for the AVATAR model to change between daytime and nighttime view, which it did at the D23 Expo.

Reel Vogue now has a large selection of The Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise. Note that the frames on the display art is reminiscent of the stretching room portraits from the Haunted Mansion.

  1. The Dr.Strange was awkward, creepy, and just plain weird….we’ll be skipping that with the kids….

  2. I really like that Admiral Fowler sweatshirt but I can’t find it on the disneystore wesbsite, eBay, Disney parks shop app or even on yourwdwstore website. Can anyone help me find this please?
