Disney4me Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 It’s been a BIG week at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and we’re bringing you lots of What’s New from the birthday park! That’s right: Hollywood Studios turned thirty this week! We were on hand for the 30th anniversary celebration. New Disney’s Hollywood Studios Logo ©Disney Disney’s Hollywood Studios 30th Anniversary At the May 1st celebration, Disney unveiled a new logo for the park as part of the festivities. It features three classic characters found in Hollywood Studios: BB-8, Mickey Mouse, and Toy Story‘s Woody! We’ve heard from lots of readers and followers who had strong feelings about this new look. Let us know what you think in the comments! New Disney’s Hollywood Studios Logo ©Disney The celebration also included a fun and energetic character cavalcade.

The large structure near the entrance (which cast members have said includes an extended bag check in anticipation of large crowds later this year — gee, I wonder why…) is receiving its facade and a paint job.

We’re still spotting workers on roofs and on the grounds around the station, as well as some scaffolding.

Entrance/Flag Construction Area Just beyond the fenced off area is the new smoking area, now that smoking is no longer permitted inside the Disney World theme parks. See our post on the newly designated areas here.
