food IS a theme park
It’s been a busy week over in Hollywood Studios! We’ve rounded up all the updates for you — new eats, new merchandise and LOTS of construction.
Hello from Hollywood Studios!
We don’t expect to see these Christmas decorations up much longer! They have been busy in the last few days in the park with lots of new updates, starting with the Skyliner station!
If you’re anything like us, you’re anxiously seeking details about Galaxy’s Edge at Walt Disney World’s Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Scheduled to open in the fall of 2019, work continues in earnest… at least as much as we can see.
On a visit to the park yesterday, we were able to capture a little more detail of this building that’s being constructed adjacent to Tatooine Traders.

A sneak peek of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge has been provided by Barron’s who spent some time touring the construction site for the upcoming land in Disneyland accompanied by executives from construction, operations, and Disney Imagineering. And they have shared some details from their visit!
