A LOT is going on in Disney’s Hollywood Studios right now, and if you’re visiting the park, don’t be surprised that things are looking a LOT different these days. Muppets Courtyard is gone, to be replaced by a new Monsters, Inc. land. Animation Courtyard is being reimagined as The Walt Disney Studios. And The Muppets are busy taking over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
Well, we recently spotted ANOTHER change in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Now this isn’t as big as, say, a new ride or new land. But it is something that makes us extremely happy because it adds a little more shade to the land. Yes, new canopies have been added to the area around Savi’s Workshop.
If we have one complaint about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, it’s that there isn’t a lot of shade. Instead of a nice forested planet like Endor, Disney decided to build Batuu, which is a dusty planet on the Outer Rim with two suns and few trees. Now, though, at least part of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has more shade. New canopies have been added to the area near Savi’s Workshop.
More shade!
These shaded areas might add a little respite from the heat generated by Batuu’s twin suns (aka Florida’s summer heat). Now, you can find shade inside shops and in the marketplace, but if those areas are crowded, make your way over to near Savi’s for some shade.
Canopies
We’ll never complain about more shaded areas in Disney World, and we hope this is a trend that continues in areas of the parks that desperately need it, like Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. We’ll also keep an eye out for more Disney World updates and changes, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
