food IS a theme park
Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park is in a state of transition, during which some spaces that have gone LONG unused are finally being dragged into the park’s future!
Welcome to Hollywood Studios!
Some of these buildings date back to the park’s original Disney-MGM Studios days, meaning that they are nearly 40 years old at this point.
Celebrities visiting Disney Parks is nothing new. Actors, musicians, politicians, athletes, and every kind of notable figure in between have been making pilgrimages since Disneyland first opened in 1955.
Let’s go to Disney World!
Learning that celebs have worked at a Disney theme park is nothing new either, as many future notable figures have gotten their start at Disney’s parks over the last 70 years. However, it’s not often we see a well-established celebrity figure working at one of the company’s theme parks… even in a temporary and honorary capacity.
While the Magic Kingdom is chock-full of delicious snacks and treats, one of our favorite Disney World treats is available just down the Monorail Loop at the Grand Floridian!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
The snack in question is available at the resort’s Gasparilla Island Grill. While the restaurant offers a variety of entrees for lunch and dinner, including artisan burgers, flatbreads and sandwiches, our focus today is on something of a much sweeter variety.
Marvel’s latest film Thunderbolts* is being hailed by many critics and fans as a “return to form” for the once-prolific hit-making studio.

Nighttime parades have been a staple of Disney’s theme parks since the Main Street Electrical Parade debuted at Disneyland in 1972. A clone of that original debuted at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in 1977, and played at the park until 1991. That same year, the Magic Kingdom original SpectroMagic parade debuted at the park, and became a fan-favorite, playing at the park until 1999, and then again from 2001 to 2010. In the years since, the original Electrical Parade appeared intermittently.
A classic Hollywood Studios show is returning to the park with a NEW twist!
The original Voyage of the Little Mermaid
The Little Mermaid show has been a staple of Hollywood Studios since 1992. Voyage of The Little Mermaid debuted on January 7th of that year, and featured an abridged version of the film’s story, utilizing a mix of live actors, puppets, special effects, and laser projections on the auditorium walls and ceilings to mimic being underwater. This original version of the show ran until 2020, closing along with the rest of Disney World at the onset of the COVID pandemic and never reopening. In December of 2023, Disney confirmed that a new version of the show entitled The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure would replace the original.
