Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

Hollywood Studios

And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!

Hollywood Studios Merchandise Update

Mickey and Minnie are cute and all, but Jack and Sally are basically the icons of Halloween in the Disney Parks! So, you’ll definitely want to bring these adorable nuIMOs with you as you make your way around the parks this spooky season!

They’re Simply Meant to Be!

As you get hot and cold running chills during Halloween, you can stay warm in the Gray Plaid Mickey Spirit Jersey with a checkered Mickey on the front…

Once Upon a Time

There are some BIG fans of Wishables in Disney World, because almost all of them have sold out at Once Upon a Time! There are only a few of the new Halloween-themed Wishables left on the shelves, so you’ll want to move fast to grab them for yourself.

Legends of Hollywood

We have to be honest — there are some pretty cool cats in the Disney Universe! And, you can spot the Aristocats, Cheshire, and even Cat Yzma on the new Disney Cat Dooney & Bourke collection rolling out on September 8th! You’ll be able to find these bags at the Legends of Hollywood, as well as other stores around Disney World.

Hollywood Studios Construction Update

Lightning Lanes

FastPasses are quickly disappearing around Disney World as the parks make room for the Lightning Lanes that will be replacing the old system. We’ve seen more Lightning Lane signs pop up in the Magic Kingdom and EPCOT, but now Disney’s Hollywood Studios has more too! We spotted the Lightning Lanes at Alien Swirling Saucers…

Rock ‘N Roller Coaster also had its FastPass sign missing, but the Lightning Lane sign has yet to appear!

All the other attractions still have FastPass at this time.

Here are all the Lightning Lanes we spotted in Hollywood Studios!

Walt Disney Presents

Well, it could be the end of an era over at Walt Disney Presents! During our last visit, we noticed that the Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge exhibit had gone dark. While we aren’t sure if or what might be replacing it, we’ll have to check back again soon!

Hollywood Studios Crowd Update

Labor Day Weekend was a BUSY time in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, as plenty of families made their way into the park to celebrate the holiday weekend!

We saw consistent crowds all over the parks throughout the weekends with heavy traffic right as you first entered…
