Disney’s Hollywood Studios Update Including Kylo Ren’s Grand Arrival

As of now, only a few areas actually have construction walls including expansion of the covering of the seating area at Sunset Ranch dinning area, the former Premier Theater with meet and greet areas, Pizza Planet, and the former Radio Disney area.IMG_9519IMG_9868 IMG_9870 IMG_9878Now for the areas we know are going the way of Sounds Dangerously, we start with the current home of Sorcerer Mickey photo spot, Pixar Place, and Toy Story Midway Mania.IMG_9841 IMG_9552IMG_9553 IMG_9842I am sure some of you are reading this and thinking “wait, Toy Story Midway Mania is not going anywhere” and while that is true, it is not 100% true.TSL181008If you look almost center of the concept art from Disney of Toy Story Land you see a giant toy box which will most likely be the new entrance of Toy Story Midway Mania. Also, Toy Story Land (judging from the above art) will wrap around the current backstage area and exit near the former Backlot Tour entrance and Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show.IMG_9849 IMG_9844 IMG_9848The other downside of Toy Story Land is loosing some of the small touches of the park like the often overlooked Splash fountain, as featured in the movie of the same name.IMG_9846One of the things that will really have a major effect on the crowd dispersion of the park will be the closure of the Studio Catering Company counter location and the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids play area.IMG_9845 IMG_9850 IMG_9851 IMG_9864 IMG_9862Of course, the biggest lose to the Studios will be the Streets of America. This area was part of the original Studio Tram Tour when the park opened in 1989 and has been home the Osborne Lights for the past 20 years. But, with a 14 acre Star Wars Land coming, some things will have to go. IMG_9865 IMG_9866 IMG_9867Now that we have taken a look at things staying and going, let’s take a look at the newest addition to Disney’s Hollywood Studios… Kylo Ren!
