Disney’s Hollywood Studios: The Awakening + Construction Update

IMG_2347With no more than a few hours passing since one of the biggest closures (as far as space goes) in any Disney Park, the Disney’s Hollywood Studios has experienced an awakening… have you felt it?IMG_2056Before we get into the new Star Wars entertainment we would be remiss to not take a look at the rest of the every changing park and the addition of construction walls.IMG_2135 IMG_2138 IMG_2143Of course, with walls going up to block off the Streets of America, some deconstruction has been going on for a few weeks where possible starting with the Premier Theater.IMG_2140Over at Pixar Place, the road has become a dead end with walls blocking that way towards the former Streets of America that include some concept art for Toy Story Land.IMG_2147 IMG_2148 IMG_2150 IMG_2151Besides the Streets of America, walls are a plenty throughout the park. The first walls are in the center of the park while preparation for the projectors for the new fireworks show.IMG_1853New meet and greets are coming near Echo Lake for Olaf and Mickey and Minnie.IMG_1851 IMG_2134Also, we have the removal of towers that have been in place since the early days of the park as part of the Sorcery in the Sky fireworks show.IMG_2145 IMG_2144Pizza Planet is still behind walls with more facade removal.IMG_2141As far as food goes in the park, with the closure of many grab and go and quick service eateries, tests are starting with different options including changing the Writers Stop from a pastry and dessert option to more of an “upper class” option with pretzels, cheese plates, and alcohol.IMG_2137 IMG_2136
