Hooray for Hollywood — and for today’s What’s New from Disney’s Hollywood Studios! We’ve got a small update from the park — but we’re starting with some big news!

Hello from Hollywood Studios

What’s New at Hollywood Studios’ Entrance

The construction that’s been filling the Park’s entrance area is complete, and a brand new tram drop off and loading zone has been unveiled. But that’s not all! A new, larger bag check area is now open, too, and there’s plenty of space for those impending Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge crowds come late-August!

The Pressed Pennies machine features four designs and — get this! — the machine supplies the pennies. 😉 Cost for one penny is a dollar, and the machine accepts a credit card if you want to use it to pay $4 for all four pennies.

The BB-8 Sipper is no longer available! Backlot Express was the last place we saw them available, so we’ll keep watch to see if BB-8 jets into another location in the future.
