Hello from Disney’s Hollywood Studios! The weather is chilly and the holiday crowds have arrived, but we still have lots of fun updates to share with you this week.Hollywood-Boulevard_02-450x600.jpg

We spotted a new arrival of little green men, found a new holiday dessert, and checked out the Skyliner and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge construction. Come along and take a look at everything new we found at Hollywood Studios this week!

What’s New with Skyliner Construction

Just like we notice every week, construction on the Disney World Skyliner Gondola System is moving right along!

And look how quickly the station is shaping up!

What’s New on Hollywood Boulevard

On a wintry day, a hot drink from The Trolley Car Cafe (Starbucks) is a non-negotiable, right? Now, let’s go check out the park!

If you’ve been waiting on a new spaceship full of Toy Story Santa Alien popcorn buckets to arrive, you’re in luck! These cuties were back in stock at popcorn carts along Hollywood Boulevard. Each Alien Santa is $25, and a refill is $2.

Is Mickey’s favorite pup more your style? Pluto popcorn buckets are still available, too! These are $15.50 each and refills are also $2.

Holiday Popcorn Bucket Signage

Over in front of the Chinese Theater, we noticed a few changes with the window displays.

Once upon a time, these window displays included TCM signage with classic movie facts.

Today, though, we noticed that the signage is gone. (We miss you, Great Movie Ride!)

Over on Sunset Boulevard, Sunshine Day Cafe was closed during our visit (shocker).

At the nearby Backlot Express, the Kylo Ren cupcake is still available, but the BB-9E cupcake is not currently on the menu. Their Flurry of Fun holiday selections, including the Chocolate Chestnut Pinecone, Frozen Hot Chocolate, and Olaf Cupcake are still available, too.

What’s New on Commissary Lane

New holiday dessert, anyone? We spotted this Chocolate and Marshmallow Verrine at ABC Commissary, and we need it. How cute is that Goofy decoration!?

This construction is taking place behind the Chinese Theater, back near the Joffrey’s stand closest to the entrance to Toy Story Land.

Could this have something to do with Minnie and Mickey’s Runaway Railway? We’re not sure yet, but we’ll keep you posted!

What’s New in Toy Story Land

The crowds were out in full force today to make the most of this cool, sunny day in Andy’s Backyard.

The line for Slinky Dog Dash was up to 95 minutes.

What’s New with Galaxy’s Edge Construction

Toy Story Land is exciting all on its own, but we also love being able to see the progress of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge from over near Alien Swirling Saucers.
