Not all of us may have talents in art, but we can happily say that we are GREAT at finding Hidden Mickeys. So, we will wear the title of “Hidden Mickey Finder” loud and proud with the newest keychain for $9.99!

The holidays are around the corner, and that means the temperature will be dropping soon! So, as you pull out those sweaters and jackets, you can put together the ultimate cozy outfit with the Minnie Mouse Beret for $19.99.

Our kitchen has basically become its own version of a Disney restaurant with how much themed kitchenware we have. Buuut, when the Home Collection Glass looks THIS beautiful with its golden Mickey details, it’s hard to pass up for $14.99.

You can find all sorts of items to take home with you, like keychains…

Although Disney World is celebrating a momentous occasion, the Disneyland Alex and Ani Bracelet for $54.99 is still showing off that the California-based park is just as special too!

We might drive cars around, but we’ve always dreamed about having a Magic Carpet as our vehicle. While you may have to wait for the Genie to grant that wish, you can use the Aladdin Keychain on your car keys in the meantime.

You don’t have to be the ONLY ones celebrating the 50th anniversary in your household, because now your pups can too! Disney World is selling 50th Anniversary Dog ID Tags with design inspiration from the event…

Hollywood Studios Entertainment Update

Pin Trading

If you’re a fan of pin trading, then you’ll want to know about the BIG change that has come to the interactive park feature! Now, guests who want to participate in pin trading can select two numbers from a mystery board that will have a unique pin on the inside! We saw the mystery boards in place at spots like the Once Upon a Time, Hollywood Tower Gifts, Tatooine Traders, Frozen Sing-Along, and more.

But, a few locations like Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway still had the regular pin trading boards that have been around the parks previously.

Hollywood Studios Construction Update

Sunset and Hollywood Boulevard

Now that Lightning Lanes have arrived with Disney Genie’s debut, that means it’s a bittersweet end to the FastPass program. And, the kiosks have disappeared from areas around Sunset and Hollywood Boulevard, since the Lightning Lanes are available strictly through mobile platforms.

FastPass Kiosks Removed

Also along Sunset Boulevard, the holidays have started to sweep in now that Christmas decorations are already popping up! We spotted the famous red and white tinsel stars…

Christmas Decorations

…along with projection screens that will welcome everyone to Disney’s own winter wonderland.

The Holidays Are Around the Corner!

Keystone Street

Although there are a few more visible decorations for Christmas in Hollywood Studios, we also noticed a few plugs hanging on buildings around Keystone Street. We’re not entirely sure what they’re there for currently, but they could easily be fastened there for upcoming holiday decorations.

Christmas Construction

Well, that’s all for this What’s New at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! We’ll catch you next time for more updates. And, if you have any questions about your upcoming Disney vacation, let us know so we can help you find the answers.
