Here at Disney Food Blog, we love to retry some of our favorite snacks to make sure they’re still as good as we remember, so we hopped back into Hollywood Studios to try two iconic cookies!
Is this the best Disney World news ever?
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Hollywood Studios is a favorite of ours thanks to the amazing rides, new shows, and tasty food in the park! Now it seems like the Disney theme park has gotten even better thanks to this one little hidden gem.
A lot is coming to Disney World in the upcoming years! Some things, such as the Pirates of the Caribbean lounge, the reopening of Test Track, and the new DVC lounge, will be coming in 2025!
Test Track
We will need to wait a bit for others, such as the new Tropical Americas-themed land, Pueblo Esperanza, and the reopening of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. However, we spotted some exciting news this week about two attractions that are currently closed in Disney World!
Happy Valentine’s Day, DFB Friends.
2024 Valentine’s Day at Disney’s Boardwalk
Now, Valentine’s Day is one of our favorite holidays to celebrate in Disney World, mostly because we love all the Valentine’s Day treats (and ALL the chocolate snacks!). However, Valentine’s Day also brings some rare characters to the parks. Now yesterday, we celebrated Villaintine’s Day with Cruella De Vil and Jafar, but today, we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day with even MORE rare characters!
Lightning Lane changes are steadily happening, and we’ve spotted the first sellout of the year!
Lightning Lane
Ever since Disney World debuted its new skip-the-line Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Premier Pass, the rules and features have pretty much stayed the same. As more visitors have become comfortable using the revamped “skip the standby line” system, we had a feeling that Disney would slowly increase its already steep price tags for these services. Disney’s latest quarterly call with shareholders called for changes to happen with the program in the future. Well, despite the high prices, it seems like Lightning Lanes are POPULAR — even the luxury Premier Pass is selling out in Disney World. Here’s what we noticed.
There are different ways that you can make your time waiting for Disney World rides and attractions a bit shorter.
Cosmic Rewind Queue
The most obvious one is purchasing Lighting Lane Multi, Single, or Premier Pass. You can also wait in the single rider line if a ride offers it. Well, a new way to “skip” the line at Disney World just debuted, and then was quietly removed just weeks later.
Get ready cow-folk, it’s time to ride over to Woody’s Lunch Box a lasso-up a BRAND NEW snack review.
Woody’s Lunch Box
On our most recent trip to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we stopped by the acclaimed Toy Story Land snack spot to try their newest delectable delight: A Chocolate-Covered Strawberry variant of one of the spot’s trademark tarts.
Between Happily Ever After at Magic Kingdom and Luminous: The Symphony of Us at EPCOT, Walt Disney World has some of the best nighttime shows! But nothing tops Fantasmic! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which you can see at both Disneyland Resort and Disney World.
Fantasmic!
Disney just released a behind-the-scenes look into Fantasmic! and we’re loving all of these details!

Cinderella Castle
It won’t shock you when we say we are Disney Adults! We love all things Disney, Universal, and theme parks. It’s the thing that gives us joy and fun throughout the year so we’re sharing our 6 reasons we’re requesting PTO in 2025!
For better or worse, change has long been a constant at Disney’s theme parks, and this year is proving to be an exceptionally evolutionary one at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Hollywood Studios
The park — which opened as the Disney/MGM Studios in 1989 — has seen its fair share of metamorphosis over the years, with iconic rides and seasonal shows disappearing to be replaced by game-changing lands and revolutionary rides, all while the park’s theme slowly mutated from real working studio to *SHRUGS SHOULDERS*. 2025 will see three major changes to the park, eliminating some of the last vestiges of the park as it was.
