NEW LAND Opens Early in Disney's Hollywood Studios

May 26th is a big day across Walt Disney World, but especially over at Hollywood Studios! Both Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets and the new Walt Disney Studios are opening up.

And despite the opening day not being until next week, it looks like the new Walt Disney Studios Courtyard is open early!

While the Walt Disney Studios building is not yet open to guests, the courtyard has opened today! While you can’t get access to the main building yet, the Courtyard itself is so cool and full of amazing easter eggs, such as this music note sign based on an actual sign you can see at the Burbank animation studio in California.

There are also some really fun hidden characters, like Lucifer.

Or Zazu, hiding around the Courtyard.

You can also see lots of handprints from your favorite characters like Quasimodo!

Handprints all over!

This area being open also gives guests access to the new show Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! This show is making its Hollywood Studios debut, but it is already a fan-favorite show in Disneyland, where you get to sing and dance with Mickey and all his friends.

And we cannot wait to experience it in Disney World next week. However, today, we saw guests going into the theater! Which means that the show is officially in soft opening, meaning that they are letting in small groups of guests before the official opening to test out the show with a crowd and work out any issues before everyone comes to see it on opening day.

Since it is in soft opening, we cannot guarantee when or if any shows will happen. But if you’re in Hollywood Studios over the next few days and you really want to see this show, it’s worth a shot to head over to the upcoming Walt Disney Studios to see if any soft opening shows are happening while you are there.
