Exciting Transformations Underway at Disney's Hollywood Studios
By Jamie Rowland
The whimsical world of Disney is in a constant state of transformation, and right now, that’s shining brightly at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. As part of ongoing efforts to enhance the magic, various projects are reshaping beloved areas of the park, bringing fresh excitement to the forefront.
Animation Courtyard: A New Chapter
Once a hub for Star Wars fans, the Animation Courtyard is now in the throes of a transformative journey. Disney is weaving new magic into this space, embracing the theme of “The Magic of Disney Animation.” The area behind construction walls heralds a vibrant future with a facade inspired by Mickey’s Sorcerer Hat, a nod to the rich history of Disney animation.
The existing buildings are receiving fresh coats of tan and pale yellow paint, harmonizing them with this enchanting new theme. And soon, the soundstage will host a “new Disney Jr. show,” promising to delight young visitors with interactive fun and laughter.
Toy Story Land: Culinary Adventures Await
Moving through Toy Story Land, the air is buzzing with anticipation as a new snack haven gets ready to open. In a space once occupied by signage, a whimsical kiosk is set to launch, inviting guests to savor tasty treats amidst playful and charming decor. Imagine colorful frill-tipped toothpicks and corrugated cardboard details evoking the nostalgia of being a kid again.
Despite these engaging updates, some pavement work remains, ensuring that the area is picture-perfect for its grand opening.
Monstrous Excitement in Former Muppets Courtyard
Signs of an exciting future are evident in the former Muppets Courtyard, now clearing the stage for ‘Monstropolis.’ The crown jewel of this transformation is the eagerly awaited Monsters, Inc. door coaster. While Gonzo’s Royal Flush remains untouched for now, the stage is being set for the next act in Disney’s evolving narrative.
The beloved Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster will be taken over by The Muppets, creating a whimsical and energetic attraction for fans of all ages. This reimagining promises to inject renewed thrill into the rock ‘n’ roll journey.
