We are ready for a wild snack time, so we headed over to Restaurantosaurus in Disney’s Animal Kingdom to try their new Shake offering. Pineapple Upside-Down Shake – $8.99 Vanilla Milk Shake with Pineapple-Caramel Sauce, Cake Crumb-coated Rim, Pineapple Wedge, Whipped Cream, and a Cherry.

What’s New in Hollywood Studios: Adorable Souvenirs For Your Pups and Pandora Charms!

Welcome to Hollywood Studios, friends!

Let’s go to Hollywood!

We go to the parks alllll the time to check out what’s new or different so we can keep you updated! And we have a TON of new merch to tell you about from our last trips to Hollywood Studios, so let’s get started!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios Merchandise Updates

Legends of Hollywood

We begin in Legends of Hollywood on Sunset Boulevard, where we spotted some new Pandora items! We found this Disney Parks exclusive Believe the Impossible dangle charm from the Disney Parks X Pandora collection.

Exclusive merch is so exciting!

The charm shows the famous image of Walt Disney holding Mickey Mouse’s hand, just like the Partners Statue in front of Cinderella Castle in Magic Kingdom!

Walt and Mickey melt our hearts!

Next, we found this Mickey Key necklace from the Disney Parks exclusive collection, how pretty is this?!

So delicate!

The end of the key actually has a tiny castle on it!

Unlock the magic!

Do you think this is a key to the castle? Only one way to find out!

Once Upon a Time

Over in Once Upon a Time, we found these new Minnie Belts!

That’s a statement belt, for sure!

The belt buckle is made up of small pearls and while the front is black

Minnie Bow Belt Buckle

…the back is RED! Just like Minnie Mouse’s signature color.

Let’s match Minnie!

You can get these belts for $29.99.

The Darkroom

In The Darkroom, we spotted these new Indiana Jones phone cases!

We just got the theme song stuck in our head!

They celebrate the 40th anniversary since Raiders of the Lost Ark was released. Wow, we’ve had Indy around for a LONG time!

Indy had great protection skills!

This phone case can be yours for $29.99.

Celebrity 5 & 10

And finally, in Celebrity 5 & 10, we found these ADORABLE Disney Tails Pet Graphic Tees for your four-legged friends!!

The best of friends

Tell your doggo you’ve got a friend in them with the Toy Story Woody and Buzz shirt (just don’t let them get ahold of the toys, like Sid’s dog Scud!).

To infinity, and beyond!

And there is also an Up graphic tee featuring Dug and Russell that perfectly describes how we feel whenever we meet a new dog!

We love you too, Dug!

Both of these pet tees are $24.99.

Hollywood Studios Additional Updates

We couldn’t let you go without telling you about this really cute setup we witnessed in Beverly Sunset Boutique. We stopped inside to check for new merch, and we stumbled upon a fun game Cast Members were arranging!

Always Gotta Look for Surprise Games Around the Parks!

We saw a bunch of little green Aliens from Toy Story scattered around a display that Cast Members said Buzz was trying to get back into the ship!

We’ll Help You Buzz!

They asked kids to count all of the aliens to make sure none of them got lost and if they counted correctly, they got a cool Toy Story sticker!

A fun little prize!

This just goes to show that Cast Members are truly amazing at making magic, and we love when we get to witness it ourselves!

Hey There!

That’s all the updates we have for you from Disney’s Hollywood Studios! We’re here all the time, so stay tuned to DFB for more new things we find on our trips!
