Greetings from Hollywood… Studios, that is. Today, we took a walk around the park to see what was happening on another beautiful Central Florida weekend.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Turnstiles

At first, the lines looked promising as the park opened.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Frozen Wheelchair Name tags

All the guests who are renting ECV’s and wheelchairs are now getting these Frozen 2 name tags.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Slap Bands

As we mentioned recently, the new slap bracelet Magic Bands are being removed from shelves around the parks. However, they were still spotted for sale at the Darkroom.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Hoodies

The weather is finally matching the holiday decor inside the stores, so the sweater and hoodie racks are again a popular stop for guests who weren’t expecting the colder temperatures.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Starbucks Line

Hollywood Studios 112419 Joffreys Tower of Terror

Hollywood Studios 112419 Joffreys Line Tower of Terror

Understandably, the lines for coffee at Starbucks and Joffrey’s were extra long this morning.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Missing Santa

Did Oogie Boogie kidnap Santa again?!

Hollywood Studios 112419 Santa Sign

Nevermind! False alarm! That sure is a relief…

Hollywood Studios 112419 Thanksgiving Photo Pass Sign scaled

PhotoPass photographers were out in the park today with Happy Thanksgiving photo props.

Hollywood Studios 112419 RockNRollercoaster Line

Hollywood Studios 112419 RockNRollerCoaster Wait Time

Lines this weekend have been quite long. Less than 30 minutes after rope drop, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster was already up to a two hour wait.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Lightning McQueen Crowd

There was also an impressive line of guests waiting to get in to Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Sunset Ranch Market

Hollywood Studios 112419 Traffic Jam

Back down on Hollywood Boulevard, we heard a commotion. Traffic was backing up, leading to some of the locals to complain, quite loudly, from their vehicles. It’s starting to get worse than I-4, sometimes…

Hollywood Studios 112419 Holiday Kids

Hollywood Studios 112419 Christmas Lake

There’s nothing quite like Christmas in the parks.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Cranes

Just hanging out with my friends Niles and Frasier.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Floats

Hollywood Studios 112419 Hot Dogs

We are big fans of tiny details in Disney’s Christmas decorations. Folks with a good eye for details can find these kitschy ornaments inside 50’s Prime Time Cafe.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Santa Gertie

You better behave in the park. Santa Gertie has an eye on you…

Hollywood Studios 112419 Indy Stitch

That includes you, #IndyStitch…

Hollywood Studios 112419 Path of Jedi Wide

Over at the old Path of the Jedi theater, work continues preparing the Mickey Shorts Theater.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Path of Jedi Lights

A closer look reveals some of the old neon lighting is still attached to the support columns outside.

Hollywood Studios 112419 ABC Commissary

Complimentary to the large crowds, the ABC Commissary was also a packed place for guests.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Muppet Vision Signage

Guests must have been paying attention to the signs that advertised Muppet Vision 3D, because there was a pleasantly surprising line out the door when we walked by.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Muppets

Hollywood Studios 112419 Restroom

Work continues on the Grand Avenue Public Water Works restrooms.

Around the corner, a scissor lift was in place for more exterior detailing.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Plants Wide

Over on Grand Avenue, we found that four potted plants were placed outside the doorways to one of the themed buildings to keep guests out, but not another. We aren’t sure what the reason for this was, as there was no visible damage to the door or glass.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Plants Closer

Hollywood Studios 112419 Pizza Rizzo

The smell of fresh pizza wafted through the park.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Fall Leaves Batuu

Hollywood Studios 112419 Fall Batuu

Over on Batuu, it seems as if fall has finally arrived.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Rise of the Resistance

Guests are starting to ask Cast Members more and more questions about Rise of the Resistance as its opening date approaches.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Star Wars Eye

Hollywood Studios 112419 Market Crowd

The crowds continued to pack into the Batuu marketplace.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Missing Baby Yoda

Disappointingly, “Baby Yoda” was missing this morning. Perhaps The Child will make an appearance once again in the near future, but chances are that someone from LucasFilm or WDI took exception to the fun reference.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Smugglers Run scaled

The line for Smugglers Run was living up to expectations today.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Smugglers Run Line

Hollywood Studios 112419 Smuggler Run Line SIgn

Guests had to walk all the way past the Blue and Green Milk stands to find the end of the line.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Smugglers Run Line End

Pretty sure this Cast Memeber was the only one smiling about the 130 minute wait time.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Toy Story Land

Over in Toy Story Land, the crowds continued to thicken as the morning went on.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Slinky Dog Line

Slinky Dog was at 135 minutes wait when we walked past.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Slinky Dog scaled

If only the line moved as fast as the roller coaster.

Hollywood Studios 112419

Hollywood Studios 112419 Drummers

Andy’s toys continued to share the holiday spirit with everyone.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Toy Story BBQ Wall

Not much progress is visible anymore on the Roundup Rodeo BBQ site after this large grey wall was erected, but we will keep an eye out in case something changes.

Hollywood Studios 112419 Frozone

“Honey? Where is my Autograph book?!”
