food IS a theme park
Hello from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Holiday Gertie at Hollywood Studios
So what’s new since the last time we were here? Let’s check out the updates!
UPDATE: Select locations have received new, corrected Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Happy Meal toys.
UPDATE: The Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway Happy Meal toys have been recalled at this time.
If you’re like us, you remember the joy of collecting EPIC Disney dolls and toys from McDonald’s as a kid! Well, thankfully that fun doesn’t have to end.
McDonald’s
Recently, we’ve seen McDonald’s release some cool Pixar keychains, as well as some interesting (potentially terrifying) Marvel toys. But now, whether you’re stopping by the new solar powered McDonald’s on Disney property or just the McDonald’s that’s closest to you, you can pick up some AMAZING Happy Meal Toys themed to Disney attractions!
We’ve been enjoying Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios for a while now but things are starting to ramp up on the West Coast version!

It’s only August, but we’re already getting ready for 2021.
2021 Calendar
Recently, we found a 2021 calendar in EPCOT, and now we’ve found a NEW 2021 calendar in Magic Kingdom! If you’re a fan of Disney Parks posters, you’ll definitely want to check this one out!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios officially reopened last week, and we’ve been checking it out to see what it’s like to spend a day in the park!

We’ve noticed that so far, the wait times for attractions in Hollywood Studios have tended to be the longest of the four parks. And with Rise of the Resistance using a virtual queue, we’ve found that Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway has regularly had the longest line in the park. So, if you’re going to be spending a decent amount of time in the queue, you might as well know what you’re in for along the way!
“Oh, BOY!” A brand new game is available on the DisneyNOW app: Mickey & Minnie’s Runway Railway: Adventure Kit!

And it’s SOONER than you THINK!
Greetings once again from Disney’s Hollywood Studios! As we celebrate 30 years of magic at Hollywood Studios, we are also taking a look at what’s to come for the future of the park (like a new restaurant in Toy Story Land!). For instance, we now have a look at the marquee design for Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway!
