food IS a theme park
Wow! This latest visit to Hollywood Studios was jam packed with shop and merchandise updates!
Sunset Boulevard
We’ll start out on Sunset Boulevard with a complete update of the Legends of Hollywood Shop.
We were back in Hollywood Studios over the weekend keeping up with all of the changes in this changing park.
Hollywood Studios
And yes, this is what a day in Central Florida can look like – on one side of the arch it is a beautiful blue sky, the other side a threatening, grey sky! How many times have you been caught without a rain coat or umbrella on this kind of day? [Read more…]
Lights, Camera, Action…it’s time to see what’s new in Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Studios
The early bird catches the Slinky Dog… because booking is now open for a new event in Disney’s Hollywood Studios: Disney Early Morning Magic at Toy Story Land!
Woody says, “Howdy!” at Toy Story Land!
You may already be familiar with Early Morning Magic in Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland (and previously an Early Morning Magic event was offered for Hollywood Studios, featuring different attractions).
The gist for this new event is the same: purchase of a limited-entry special ticket event — in addition to regular park admission — allows guests to enter the park early and have access to Slinky Dog Dash, Alien Swirling Saucers, and Toy Story Mania! before the park’s regular opening and enjoy an included breakfast.

The Monte Cristo Sandwich at Woody’s Lunchbox in Hollywood Studios’ Toy Story Land has become the first “blink and you miss it” item in this new Land. The Monte Cristo is no longer available on the Lunch/Dinner menu.

Initially we were excited to see this on the menu thinking about the signature must-have Monte Cristo in Disneyland’s Cafe Orleans. However, we found this did not measure up to the Disneyland sandwich as it was more a grilled sandwich with a side of raspberry jam.
You know what’s happening this Saturday, June 30th? Okay, you guessed! TOY STORY LAND is opening!!

But here’s another one for ya… do you know what ELSE is happening this Saturday? The Play Disney Parks app makes its debut in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort! [Read more…]
We’ve known for some time that the immersive Star Wars Resort is going to be — according to Disney — “seamlessly connected” to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios, which is slated to open in late fall 2019.

But it will be connected in more ways than simply in story. Today Disney has confirmed the location of the Star Wars Resort!
The Star Wars: Galactic Nights event will return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios on May 27th! This extra-ticket, one-night-only event will include access to select attractions in the the park, character greetings, a special projections show in addition to Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular, and MUCH more!
Part of the “much more” includes specialty FOOD just for the event! PLUS, there’s an add-on to allow guests to taste even more treats around the Galaxy: the Galactic Tasting Sampler and Viewing Package! Let’s peek at the food first, then continue scrolling for more info about the Sampler, Table Service dining menus, and more!
It’s a Galaxy Gourmet for this year’s Galactic Nights event! Returning items will include the famous LIGHTSABER CHURROS!

Keep an eye out for the Lightsaber Churro Sundae, too. Sweet and Crunchy Popcorn, the Star Wars-themed Orange Truffle Cupcake, the Mini-Éclair Trio, and Glow Cotton Candy will also make their way back to the event from a galaxy far, far away…
Tapas-sized gourmet offerings (think Epcot Food and Wine Festival) will be available throughout the park, with up to 25 food and drink items to choose from!
Among the new items this year will be the Dueling Gazpacho.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!!!
Moving Billboard on Sunset Boulevard
From now through December 31st, guests can celebrate the season with a Flurry of FUN! Highlights include the return of the Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! Holiday Spectacular, special seasonal touches around Echo Lake, and much more.
We’re starting that “much more” with the all-new Sunset Seasons Greetings — and all the Season’s EATINGS — on Sunset Boulevard and beyond!
Falling snow, twinkling lights, moving billboards, and festive projections on the Hollywood Tower Hotel all make for the magical transformation of Sunset Boulevard into Sunset Seasons Greetings!
Okay, so Halloween is over, and Christmas decor is going up all over Walt Disney World (most noticeably in Hollywood Studios, which you can catch over on our Instagram!). But before we get knee deep in snowmen and Santa hats, we’ve gotta try the brand new Candy Corn Margarita being poured over at the Hollywood Studios pop-up bars!
Candy Corn Margarita Sign
This seasonal drink is crafted from Patron Silver Tequila, Stoli Vanil Vodka, Fanta Orange, and a splash of Lemonade. And it comes with a glow cube! [Read more…]
