We expect to see these change out to more Halloween/fall themed options soon. You’ll also find these two options at some Sunset Ranch Market locations as well.

What’s New in Hollywood Studios Skyliner Construction and Parking
We’ll close this out with some updates on the construction for the new Skyliner System. The original area for the buses and trams is now closed. There is a new location for both of these drop offs.
Original Bus/Tram Drop Off Area
New Bus/Tram Drop Off Area
There is a slightly longer walk from the new drop off locations as you walk along the construction of the Skyliner Station. Note that the walk between Hollywood Studios and the Boardwalk is significantly longer as you have to walk around the construction as well.

With all the exploring done – it’s time to hop in my stretch limo and ride away!

Wow, with all the pop up and total bars/restaurants serving drinks, it looks like HS is the alcohol capital park of Disney. Not that I am complaining as anything in moderation is fine and with all the amazing choices from frozen drinks to Baseline tap house to flights at Brown Derby there are amazing concoctions to be had in HS!
Love these up to date blogs of the parks. T.Y.
With the longer walk from the tram drop offs, is it even worth it to take the tram if you are driving to the park?
How is the walkway from the Boardwalk to DHS “significantly longer” if the walk from the buses to the entrance is only “slightly longer”?
Staying at the Boardwalk in two weeks and was planning on walking for AM EMH, but don’t want a ridiculous walk…
The bus drop is significantly further from the entrance. This should be better communicated. It is a considerable walk and there is no shade and not place to stop and rest if needed. Some elderly persons or those with mobility issues may have problems
Do we really need all of these bars and alcoholic drinks in “Disney World” of all places? I don’t know what Disney is thinking – but I see no reason for all of this alcohol in the parks. Sure, it may be nice to be able to have an alcoholic beverage with dinner sometimes, or to stop in a lounge and perhaps have a drink ionce in a while. But why we need all these carts serving alcohol all day long is long is beyond me? Do we really need to get an acholic beverage In the morning or in the middle of the day? While we are all adults and can obviously do what we want, is it really necessary to have all of these carts in the parks serving alcohol all day long? Do we really need to go from one ride or one attraction to another with an alcoholic beverage in our hands? Also, In the hot weather, alcohol can be very dehydrating and we all know Florida is very hot for most of the year. I see this as a big potential problem for Disney and for gas who perhaps may not be able to handle their alcohol consumption. I don’t know just what message Disney is trying to send out by making so much alcohol available in the parks and resorts all of a sudden, but I don’t think it’s a good one.
Hi – correction to my comment. It should say:
” I see this as a big potential problem for Disney and for”guest”
( not “gas”) Sorry!
: )
I agree 100%with Arlene. The amount of alcohol available at every turn is a bit much for what is and was intended to be a place for families to spend time together. I’ve lost count of the number of parents holding a beer in one hand and infant in the other that I have seen while in the parks. Not sure why alcohol seems to be a main focus other than big profit margins but most of us don’t go to a Disney to have to worry about stumbling adults who drank too much. If I wanted to do that I’d save money and go to a local bar.
Apparently Arlene and Franco have no problems with thousands of screaming children. Parents are on vacation too and so what if they want an adult beverage? Its not like they are giving it to thier kids. Disney is trying to cater to adults too not just children.(I’m in my 30s so don’t think this coming from some 21 year old)
On another note, ABC commissary was absolutely terrible. The service, the food, I will never go back there and I suggest people go else where and not waste your money or dining plan credits here.
