food IS a theme park
We love visiting Batuu at Disney’s Hollywood Studios if only to see what cool new Star Wars merchandise ends up there.
Star Wars plushes!
And we’ve seen some VERY cool stuff, including Chewbacca socks, a Droid Depot backpack, and some pretty sweet lightsabers! But today, we spotted some brand new items that you might just want to give a big hug!
Socks. They are typically a solid gift to give to friends, family members, co-workers, perfect strangers, etc. Practically everyone wears and needs socks (unless you’re a barefoot/sandals kind of person, which is totally fair).
Disney Cat Socks
Sometimes you’ll find cute socks or ones with a unique pattern. But otherwise, they’re usually just…socks. They’re comfy, useful, and sometimes fun in terms of their design, but not really functional other than as socks (or cleaning rags). But what if we told you your socks could do SO MUCH MORE?!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Disney’s 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!
You’ve probably heard that Disney World will be getting its very own IMMERSIVE Star Wars Hotel!

We’ve slowly but surely been learning tidbits about Disney World’s Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser. The delayed opening was recently announced, the hotel will feature a new kind of lightsaber, and there will be a pretty cool featured dining experience onboard. Now, we know a little more about the current behind-the-scenes progress on the upcoming offering!
It’s SO hard to choose which Disney park is our favorite. There’s something wonderfully magical about Cinderella Castle, but we just can’t resist hopping around the World Showcase’s pavilions too.
Tree of Life
In this DFB bracket, though, we put our readers to the test to see whether Disney’s Hollywood Studios or Disney’s Animal Kingdom will reign supreme. And, some of the answers might surprise you!
As Disney World gets busier, we’ve seen some longer wait times for attractions.
Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Marketplace
But we’ve also seen long lines for shops. There’s a small marketplace of shops at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios that is NOTORIOUS for long lines because of the area’s limited capacity (and its small space).
Okay, so y’all know we are ALL about some Dole Whips at Disney World, right? There’s a reason this classic snack has been around as long as it has, after all!
Dole Whip
BUT…we’ve found that there’s so much MORE to Dole Whip life than the classic Pineapple Soft Serve most Disney World guests usually get. In fact, we’ve unlocked a whole world of Dole Whip flavor combos that might even make you forget about just having the classic pineapple. And now, we’re sharing some of our favorites with you!
So much has happened at Disney World recently and it can be hard to keep track of all the changes! But that’s why we’re here, to make sure you stay updated.
Frozen!
So in case you missed it, you’ll no longer have to do a temperature check when entering the parks. You’ll also be able to walk around outside without a mask (with exceptions). Also, at least one ride has already removed its plexiglass, and we’re starting to see shows at Disney World seat more guests.
What a weekend, right? We’ve seen SO many changes at Disney World over the past few days.
One Man’s Dream
Temperature checks are no longer being done at the entrances of the parks. The plexiglass on a very popular attraction has been removed. Masks are no longer required outdoors (with some exceptions).
Thinking of visiting Disney World soon? Curious what rides (on average) have had the longest wait times recently? Well, we’ve got you covered!
Are You a Fan of Test Track?
Each week we take a look at the average wait times for all the rides in Disney World and bring you the updates you need to know. Last week we had you try and guess which ride at each park had the longest wait time. This week we’ve got a different challenge! This week only 2 rides in ALL of Disney World had wait times over 60 minutes. Can you guess which rides they are? Take a second to make your predictions now!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
