Good afternoon and happy Tuesday! This is your one and only Nana. Somehow, I ended up writing a LONG photo report. I’m so happy that I can add a bit of pixie dust to your daily life (or maybe not…).
A Day in Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Today, I visited Hollywood Studios. You know, I’m a Disney-MGM Studios girl… but we can’t bring back the old days, so we move forward.
On the way into the park, I found the 2024 Halloween MagicBand+ at Mickey’s of Hollywood. We were searching for this last week, and now it’s here.
There’s also been a little change in Keystone Clothiers, as the shop now carries some select T-shirts. But don’t worry! The store still has plenty of Star Wars items.
Two giant boxes were once covering the divider walls, but now the boxes are gone, and you can see the freshly painted wall.
While I’m writing this photo report, let me share my favorite Star Wars characters. I love Jabba the Hutt and the AT-AT (yes, I do have both popcorn buckets). However, my favorite AT-AT by Star Tours — The Adventures Continue hasn’t been doing well recently.
The massive AT-AT is currently not moving or making any noises. I’m worried about my baby. I keep telling AT-AT, “This is not a great time to be sick…” (Oh and don’t forget, they still haven’t fixed the cannons in Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance…)
Moving on… Donald and Daisy Duck have been moved back by the gate in Grand Avenue for their meet and greet, and they are so popular! The line to say hi was quite long when I passed by.
After that, I entered Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, occasionally referred to as Batuu East.
Dok-Ondar is still on vacation from his Den of Antiquities, as his curtain remains pulled closed. I hope he comes back refreshed and ready for work.
I did see the hotel ice bucket Camtono Safe, at Dok’s, so you might be happy to hear it’s been restocked.
I spotted Rey out and socializing with the guests near Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.
This is just my two cents, but First Order Cargo deserves better air conditioning. The fans aren’t doing the job… Florida is hotter than you think!
In Toy Story Land, we’ve been looking for this extended seating area for over two years… and it’s STILL not open! I’m surprised! In my opinion, an indoor seating area would be a great addition to this land.
I didn’t see anything going on in Animation Courtyard. The walls are here by the exit of the former Voyage of the Little Mermaid. The new show, “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure,” will start later this year.
I wish we could see Bluey and Bingo meet guests here after seeing them at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event.
Today’s visit to Hollywood Studios was decent and provided a nice walk. It’s still hot out here, so please stay hydrated. We have a list of all the water bottle filler stations at Walt Disney World Resort if you need it!
Have a Magical Day, and see you next time!
