Park Arrival Transformation Continues at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

A certain Walt Disney World theme park is getting ready to welcome a LOT of people…

Entrance to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios

Ahead of the August 29th opening of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is making changes to the park entrance with a new drop-off for guests using the tram and a new bag check area.

Now that Hollywood Studios has all-new bus loops, the area which formerly housed the bus stops serves as the new parking lot tram drop-off location.

What feels like huge open space now is bound to fill up once the crowds arrive for Galaxy’s Edge, but it does look great and welcoming.

The new bag check is huge and ready to accommodate LOTS of guests.

Even with these results, though, work continues, as you’ll now encounter walls surrounding the previous bag check.

In any case, the space is much improved after months of work. And, of course, these aren’t the only transportation changes at Hollywood Studios, what with the simultaneous preparation for the Disney Skyliner gondola system to begin carrying guests to and from the park this fall.

And, in fact, changes to the entrance and exit processes are also currently in progress at Magic Kingdom and Epcot, too. And it’s all to get ready for more magic than ever inside the parks!
