Disney4me Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 Hooray for Hollywood! Let’s see What’s New at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! We’ve got plenty of construction, a few must-have merchandise pieces, and a bagel update. (Yup. A bagel update.) Welcome to Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Disney’s Hollywood Studios Entrance Construction Hollywood Studios remains a park in transition, and the number of construction walls at the entrance are a guest’s first hint of that. Although the new bus station is open, Disney’s Skyliner station at Hollywood Studios is still a work in progress; plus there are two construction projects at the entrance. Entrance Construction Visible over the construction fence is this structure that we’ve been told by cast members will be an additional bag check. This is preparation for larger crowds (thanks, Galaxy’s Edge!). Entrance Construction Work continues on the roofline, which will mirror the styling of Hollywood Studios’ other entrance-area structures. Entrance Construction There’s new lighting in this area, too. Entrance Construction Signs are also now up in this area. They appear to be standard security screening signs.

We recently got a FIRST LOOK inside the gondolas. Click here to see what it’ll be like to glide through the air over Walt Disney World on the Skyliner! Skyliner Progress We spotted some crew members on the roof (and stationary gondolas inside). Skyliner Progress Most of the gondolas remain covered in protective plastic wrap, but some doors are exposed, and occasionally an unwrapped gondola makes an appearance. Skyliner Progress Looking back toward the station from the entrance, we see lots of exterior activity. Skyliner Progress Obviously more painting or cladding will be happening, as well as landscaping.

Back in Toy Story Land, Galaxy’s Edge continues to peek through the trees. Galaxy’s Edge Construction Still some cranes and exterior work underway. Galaxy’s Edge Construction We see scaffolding in place, too, as the land readies itself for the August 29 opening!

No word on what’s going on here, but we’re watching for developments. Ropes up around handprints This area on Sunset Boulevard in front of Beverly Sunset Boutique by the stairs that used to descend to Starring Rolls had a few tables and chairs. They’re missing at present. Missing Tables on Sunset Boulevard There are still tables in front of the now-closed Starring Rolls.

We started seeing these helpful cast members in place last December during the busy holiday season. Guest Experience Team Just for fun, we popped by to say hello to Gertie. Say hi, everybody! Echo Lake Disney’s Hollywood Studios Dining Updates Not much happening in the world of Hollywood Studios dining. Over at Trolley Car Cafe, a cast member tells us that bagels have been so popular lately, they’re now going to be available until later in the day. Trolley Car Cafe Bagels And at quick service locations throughout the park, we found paper straws in the dispensers.

We… definitely need this one. Hangry? Us, too!
