food IS a theme park
Hello, everyone, from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Studios
It’s a big, bright, beautiful day, so we’re wandering around the park to see what’s new since the last time we visited.
Halloween may not be here yet, but we’re already stocking up on Christmas spirit jerseys and ornaments!
Mickey and Minnie Ornaments
Now, the only question we have is how late will the parks be open when we visit during Christmastime? Disney is starting to give us a better idea of that now.
When Disney World reopened this summer, a lot of places within Disney World didn’t. But recently, we’ve seen that begin to change, with restaurant reopenings happening across all four theme parks!
ABC Commissary Reopening
We were delighted to see the return of Cinderella’s Royal Table (WITH Cinderella!), as well as the reopening of one of our favorite watering holes Dawa Bar. And many more locations are reopening every day!
We’re BACK for another BEAUTIFUL Day at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Sunset Boulevard
We’re not just here to revel in the glamor of old Hollywood, explore the far-off planet of Batuu, and to play in Andy’s backyard with Woody and Slinky Dog — we’re here to take in ALL of the new sights, sounds, merch, and attraction updates!
Another dining option is returning to Disney’s Hollywood Studios soon!
ABC Commissary
Last month, we got the news that ABC Commissary will be reopening on October 8th and we’re pretty darn excited to have another counter-service option in a reopened Hollywood Studios! Now, a few days ahead of reopening, we’ve caught some MAJOR menu changes for the spot.
We’ve been making our way around Disney’s Hollywood Studios today and enjoying all of the new things there, including the newly reopened Frozen Sing-Along show.

But, what’s a good park day without a little shopping? While Hollywood Studios is full of fun shops with all kinds of unique merchandise, today we noticed that another shop has officially reopened.
From the stunning Tower of Terror Bellhop Dress to a gorgeous set of Tower of Terror Minnie Mouse Ears and more… we thought we’d seen it all when it comes to great Tower of Terror merchandise.
Tower of Terror Color-Revealing Mug
But Tower Hotel Gifts — the merchandise location for The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror attraction — still has a trick or two up its sleeve… as evidenced by a super cool, new color-revealing Tower of Terror Mug we found today! [Read more…]
Recently, the Grand Floridian Society Orchestra announced that it would be playing its last shows on October 3rd in Disney World.
The Disney Society Orchestra and Friends
After the show was halted at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, members of the orchestra were moved over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to perform as the Disney Society Orchestra, with characters making an appearance during their set list.
Since the parks reopened, the lower capacity for Disney World has also brought shorter than normal wait times.
Statue of Miss Piggy
While Disney’s Hollywood Studios has seen slightly longer wait times than some of the other parks, there was one surprising attraction at the park today with a higher than average line!
Several attractions in Disney’s Hollywood Studios have received new distancing stickers for their queues — including an attraction that is currently closed!
Voyage of the Little Mermaid
Upcoming changes to the operating hours at several quick service locations aren’t the only updates we noticed at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Today, we spotted new distancing stickers in the queues for two of the park’s attractions!
