We’re walking the metaphorical red carpet over in Hollywood Studios today!
The holidays are officially over which means everything is back to business as normal in Hollywood Studios. We spotted a bunch of new and returning treats to replace the Christmas desserts and a good amount of other changes too! Check out all of the updates we saw in food, construction, and merchandise!
Hollywood Studios Food Updates
Multiple Locations
First off, most of the Christmas snacks are no longer available. But, we did spot one exception! You can still get the Holiday Festive Popcorn at The Market.
Click here for our FULL REVIEW of the Holiday Festive Popcorn!
At Popcorn Carts around the park, we checked in on the current Souvenir Bucket Selection and spotted Christmas Trees, Little Green Aliens, and Refillable Star Wars, as the current options.

Hollywood Boulevard
We popped into Trolley Car Cafe, the Hollywood Studios Starbucks location, and saw that they are currently offering the new Almondmilk Honey Flat White and the returning Smoked Butterscotch drinks!
Click here to see why we LOVE the Smoked Butterscotch at Starbucks!
They’re also selling a new Valentine’s Day Cake Pop which is chocolate cake, with chocolate icing, and heart sprinkles! Cute!
Sunset Boulevard
Over at Rosie’s All American Cafe, we saw that they were now selling a new version of a Chocolate Verrine, so you know we had to try it. Turns out it looks and tastes a whole lot like the Hot Chocolate Verrine that was available for the holidays, so we’re thinking it may be the same one without the festive decoration.

There’s another familiar-looking verrine over at Catalina Eddie’s. This one is called the Strawberry Shortcake Verrine. Honestly, it tastes a lot like the Strawberry Shortcake dessert that we’ve had here before, but the presentation is a little different.
Over at KRNR Rock Station, we’ve had to say goodbye to one of our favorite Mac and Cheese varieties, the Buffalo Mac and Cheese. 😢
Click here to find out why we’ll miss the Buffalo Mac and Cheese so much!
BUT the yummy Tres Leches Verrine is back at Fairfax Fare, so at least that helps make up for it.

Toy Story Land
Since the holiday Lunch Box Tart is gone, the Raspberry Lunch Box Tart is back as the seasonal option at Woody’s Lunch Box.

Commissary Lane
There have been a few changes to the menu at ABC Commissary. Not only are they now serving the new Strawberry Shortcake Verrine, but we’re also seeing the return of the S’more Cookie and the Strawberry Parfait. Yum!
Echo Lake
Over at Dockside Diner, we tried the chocolatey new dessert, Chocolate Gems Brownie.

Hollywood and Vine is back to offering Minnie’s Silver Screen Dine for dinner, so you can celebrate some flicks from the past and present with Minnie and her pals.
There are also a few additions to the Backlot Express menu. For instance, you can now add Cheese Sauce for $1. Aw yesssssssss.

Aaaand there’s a new TOTALLY delish Backlot Blondie. But no worries, if chocolate is more your style, they’re also selling the Chocolate Verrine.
Satisfy that sweet tooth with the Backlot Blondie! Click here!
Hollywood Studios Construction Updates
Hollywood Boulevard
Wow! That was a lot of food updates. There are some other changes too though! We spotted these handy dandy Rise of the Resistance Info Sheets, for instance.
Now, we only saw these available at the Map and Times Guide kiosk in front of Crossroads, so if you want one of the sheets when you’re in the park, that’s the best place to look!
Toy Story Land
And Toy Story Land still has those playful Christmas Decorations up! In fact, there were some decorations lingering all over the park too.
But characters are back to their normal attire, so no more Santa hat for Buzz!
Hollywood Studios Merchandise Updates

Is it just me or does everyone else see that the Starbucks chocolate chip cake pop above has missing chocolate chips? Someone stole the chocolate chips!!!!!

I can never figure out why disney doesn’t sell tee shirts or shirts with pockets. I wear eye glasse and would love a shirt to have a pocket plus you could put your phone in it.
