PHOTO REPORT: Disney's Hollywood Studios 1/26/2025 (Thoughts on Park Pass Reservations and Recap of Disneyland Trip )

Hello from a cold Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

This winter is definitely colder than last year. Everybody was bundled up, jacket, boots, scarf, you name it. Me? I only had a hoodie… Because it’s supposedly warmer later in the day. I’ve been filling in, covering, or flying for the last three weeks, I haven’t really done a full loop on the Disney side of Orlando. Let the magic begin, shall we?

People lined up outside an entrance with teal architecture and red flags, reminiscent of a classic Hollywood Studio, all under a clear blue sky.

Entrance Congestion

A lively crowd gathered under the "Guest Entrance" signs at the theme park on a sunny day, reminiscent of a magical Disneyland trip.

I still see many guests stuck by the touch point because they don’t have a “park pass” or “didn’t go to the reserved park.” I get it, but do we still need to have a park pass to begin with? Oh wait, to be REALLY honest, the Disneyland Resort park reservation system is horrible. There are days I still can’t get my Magic Key park pass, but Disneyland resumed the sales of Magic Key. Seriously? I feel like it will be harder to get a park pass going forward.

I’m Home!

A tall tower crowned with a globe and figure rises amidst palm trees and buildings, reminiscent of Hollywood Studio's glamour, all under a clear blue sky.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is my home (I feel like) but I haven’t come here for a while. I think it’s the hottest park now since Disney has announced the MuppetVision 3D closure.
