food IS a theme park
There are so many fun things to do in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Sure, you’ve got some amazing rides like Tower of Terror. You can also step INTOÂ Star Wars in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. You can get shrunk down to the size of a toy in Toy Story Land. The movies theme is STRONG here. However, one movie-themed experience at this park will be closing soon for a refurbishment.
If you’re heading to Disney World soon, there are a few ongoing and scheduled refurbishments you should be aware of.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Disney’s Hollywood Studios already has one major ride in Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith undergoing a lengthy refurbishment and it looks like another Hollywood Studios attraction will join the dreaded “Closed” list. According to the Disney World calendar, the Mickey Shorts Theater is set to close for a temporary refurbishment SOON.
Did you know there are some Walt Disney World attractions that are not open all day?
Carousel of Progress
Despite what the park hours may be, there are a handful of attractions that open later than the park or close earlier, and if they are on your must-do list, you’ll want to take note! Here are the rides you need to time just right or you’ll miss!
We’ve been hard at work in the parks scoping out all the latest news for you! First, a few things to remember…
Mickey and Friends Topiaries
We have a lot to share with you this week, so let’s jump right in…
The brand new attraction Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway has officially opened in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. While we’ve already given you a FIRST LOOK at the attraction and the merch, it’s time to step inside.

But we recently found out that there is more than one reason to celebrate because March 4th is ALSO opening day of the Mickey Shorts Theater! Today we’re are taking you with us to get a sneak peek of this new experience at Disney World, along with a new Mickey Mouse cartoon — Vacation Fun!
What’s up, gang, we’re giving Hollywood Studios the close-up shot today!

Next week Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway will finally open, but let’s check out the new construction, merch, and snacks we can find right now.
It’s amazing to think that we’re a little more than a week away from stepping into the cartoon world of a Mickey Mouse short on Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney World. All aboard the hype train, choo-choo!

We’re expecting the standby line for this whimsical new adventure to be pretty long considering all the buzz around it, but Disney is devising a way for us to pass the time in line with a fun new trivia game on the Play Disney Parks app.
Exciting news! We finally have some new details to share with you about the new Mickey Shorts Theater — including WHEN it’ll open!

And while we already knew the new theater experience would be debuting sometime in March, we can now officially confirm it’ll be happening on the SAME DAY as Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway’s big grand opening!
Ah, Disney World — the Most Magical Place on Earth and, potentially, also the place with the most construction barriers on Earth! Okay, okay, maybe we’re exaggerating; but there is a LOT of construction in Disney World right now. Just think about all of the different refurbishments we’re seeing around the parks!
Construction Outside of Test Track Cool Wash
Well, we like to be on top of the closures and construction and upcoming stuff so that YOU guys know how to plan around all of it. And that means keeping an eye on the building permits and patents that Disney World files.
Sometimes we see permits for work that’s visible in the parks, like for the upcoming Regal Eagle Smokehouse in Epcot or for the maintenance on Splash Mountain in Magic Kingdom. However, a lot of the permits and patents we see are for work that isn’t visible to the public…yet! So, here are a few secret, backstage updates that you CAN’T see in Disney World!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
