Hello from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Studios
After trying new Halloween treats and then the hustle and bustle of Labor Day, we went back to Hollywood Studios to see what’s new. So let’s dig in!
We partied with Disney villains at the Oogie Boogie Bash in Disneyland yesterday!
Oogie Boogie!
The event has fun entertainment, plenty of villainous characters, and — of course — Halloween treats galore. One counter-service spot is serving up THREE different kinds of loaded fries, and we’re here to try them all. Let’s take a closer look at the new Loaded Buffalo Chicken Fries!
Many Disney World guests have been missing Extra Magic Hours, but while Extra Magic Hours won’t be returning, new programs, known as Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours have taken its place.
We’d live here if we could!
Early Theme Park Entry allows all Disney World resort guests entry into the parks 30 minutes before the official opening time every day, while Extended Evening Hours lets guests who are staying at deluxe resorts and deluxe villas stay an hour or two later in the theme parks after their official closing time on select dates.
Over the years, Disney World has made some pretty unique snacks and treats!
Grand Floridian Gingerbread House Replica
We’ve seen some truly fun desserts for Halloween and during the Christmas season, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort makes a life-size gingerbread house! And if we were making a list of the coolest Disney confections of all time, then the treat we spotted today would definitely qualify.
Carnation Cafe has been on Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland since 1955.

Carnation Cafe serves classic American dishes, including some of Walt Disney’s favorite meals, and it’s scheduled to officially reopen soon in Disneyland. If you want to be one of the first to visit a newly reopened Carnation Cafe, you need to book your reservation now!

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort has been undergoing quite a few changes lately.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort reopened in July and we were able to tour the newly remodeled rooms that were inspired by Moana and feature tons of Moana designs and details. The Monorail Station for the Polynesian reopened this week, and now the front entrance is officially open to guests! Come with us as we take a look at the front entrance makeover.
