Disney World Is Making My Favorite Rope Drop Strategy Harder at Hollywood Studios

By Leave a Comment

As we’ve discussed in the past, there are distinct strategies for rope dropping Walt Disney World’s theme parks. However, the approach to one of the parks is about to change… at least temporarily.

Hollywood Studios

Of all the changes happening at Walt Disney World right now, one park that is changing quite a bit is Hollywood Studios. The park is in the midst of a massive evolution to changes like the new Monsters, Inc.

There is a lot of construction happening in Disney World, and it doesn’t look like it’s set to stop anytime soon.

Something NEW Just Opened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

By 1 Comment

Okay, we’ll admit that we LOVE Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It’s just so fun to walk into that land and feel like we’ve been shrunk down to the size of a toy playing in Andy’s backyard. We also love riding Slinky Dog Dash every chance we get and trying to beat our high score on Toy Story Mania. And, well, y’all know how obsessed we are with the Totchos at Woody’s Lunch Box.

New places to sit!

But we have a few complaints about Toy Story Land. The first is that there is a serious lack of shade…apparently, Andy’s backyard doesn’t have a single tree. But another complaint is that there aren’t a lot of places to sit, and that’s even considering if you’ve ordered something from Woody’s Lunch Box, because sometimes seating is full there. Well, the second problem has officially been fixed: there is now new seating in Toy Story Land.
