food IS a theme park
If you’re interested in live entertainment, then Disney’s Hollywood Studios may be the BEST park for you!

There are several shows in this park to catch, and planning to see them all can be a scheduling conundrum. That’s why we’re breaking down all the entertainment options — so you know which shows to prioritize and what to expect!
2025 is gearing up to be a massive year at Disney World as construction and closures are set to hit all four theme parks.
Hollywood Studios
Hollywood Studios has seen its fair share of changes over the past years with the addition of Toy Story Land along with Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and soon it will be home to even more new offerings, two of which are set to open in the new year! There are three game-changing updates set to hit Hollywood Studios in 2025, with a fourth update on the horizon.

After Voyage of the Little Mermaid failed to reopen at Hollywood Studios after the pandemic-related closures, we were left wondering (for a WHILE) about what the fate of this show might be. Eventually, Disney shared that a new, reimagined show inspired by The Little Mermaid would take its place in the fall of this year. But, it doesn’t look like that will be the case any longer.
UPDATE: The debut of the new “The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure” show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios (which is the subject of this post) has been DELAYED. It is now set to open in the summer of 2025 (instead of fall 2024). Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest updates!
Fall is here! Although Disney World has been celebrating Halloween far before the season officially started.

However, fall is an important time for Disney as it has an attraction to deliver. A lot of the time, Disney uses seasons as a way to say something is opening without having to get a specific date. For example, when we got more information on the opening timeline of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, we just knew that it would open in summer 2024 after being moved up from the original timeline of late 2024. Once Disney was confident enough to give an exact date, it was announced that the attraction would open on June 28th, 2024. Another example of this is going on in Animal Kingdom right now. It was announced that Zootopia: Better Zoogether!, the show that is replacing It’s Tough to be a Bug!, will open in the winter of 2025. See? No exact date, and instead, a time frame. Well, the clock is ticking for one Hollywood Studios attraction that is set to open this fall.
The holiday season is just around the corner!

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.
When Disney World reopened last year, a LOT changed, especially with entertainment.

Some entertainment went away altogether, while other experiences were modified to account for health and safety guidelines.
