food IS a theme park
There’s always something new to check out at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
The Tower of Terror looms over Hollywood Studios
We love browsing through the shops, checking out the restaurants, and looking for general updates all over the parks. Let’s check out what’s new at Hollywood Studios the last few days! [Read more…]
Hello and welcome to Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Hollywood Studios
Each week, our fantastic DFB reporters walk through all of the Disney World theme parks (multiple times typically) to see what’s new! This week, we made a few trips to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and spotted some changes in social distancing and more. Ready to go on a virtual trip with us through the park to see what’s changed recently? Then put on those Disney ears, grab your Loungefly bags, and let’s go!

The food part is obvious, but I take atmosphere into account because I feel that is what makes the experience uniquely Disney, and it can actually add to the dining experience. But enough of this chit chat, yak yak, and flim flam. Just refrain from hibernating and enjoy the show. (Some Disney Fudge to whoever is the first to recognize that line.)
