Have you ever heard the expression “We’re seeing stars“? Well, we mean that literally. We’ve got some huge news for all the holiday lovers out there, and we’re reporting straight from Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Now, if you feel it’s too early to start singing “It’s the most wonderful time of the year,” this news isn’t for you. Move along! (Just kidding — please stay. We love you all equally!)
Our team is split pretty evenly — lots of us are thrilled that the holiday season is starting, while others feel the holidays don’t start until after Thanksgiving. But no matter which side you’re on, it doesn’t change the fact that the first holiday decorations are officially up in Hollywood Studios!
This makes Hollywood Studios the second park in Disney World to begin putting up its decorations (Animal Kingdom was the first), and we know Disney has previously announced that holiday decorations would begin going up overnight tonight in Magic Kingdom to make their debut on November 2nd.
These stars are among the first decorations to go up in Hollywood Studios each year, and they’ll soon be followed by additional decorations before Jollywood Nights begins on November 8th. That means that in the next seven days, Hollywood Studios should be fully transformed!
The stars are located on Sunset Boulevard, but we’ll also see decorations pop up in Toy Story Land. However, you won’t find decorations in Galaxy’s Edge, because the same holidays aren’t celebrated quite the same in the Star Wars universe (They do a thing called “Life Day”…it’s a long story). We also spotted lights in the bushes near Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, and we’re really excited to see them all lit up when it gets dark!
The stage is also set up with some holiday decorations in front of Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, where you’ll be able to watch live entertainment during Jollywood Nights!
Well, the stage is set (literally and figuratively) for the holidays to TAKE OVER at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You ready?
