Disney4me Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Hollywood Studios is exciting these days — between prep for the 30th Anniversary celebration (See the events and food here!), Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge construction updates, Skyliner station progress, and new merchandise (Avengers, Rebecca Hook Jewelry, and New Vintage Shirts), we hardly know where to start! Hello from Hollywood Studios! What better place than at the entrance? Or maybe even before… because when you visit Hollywood Studios, currently you’ll see lots of construction and projects before you even enter the park. What’s New at Hollywood Studios’ Entrance The Skyliner Station for Hollywood Studios is coming along — and you can see they were testing gondolas on the line when we were there.

Don’t worry, you can still get your photos with the broomsticks and Topiary Sorcerer Mickey!
