What’s New at Disney’s Hollywood Studios: Increased Ride Capacity on Runaway Railway and a New Droid!

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!

Hollywood Studios Merchandise Updates

Droid Depot

We spotted a BRAND NEW droid at Droid Depot: CB-23 from Star Wars Resistance. She is remote-controlled and comes with her own personality chip.

And you can grab her now for $119.99.

We also spotted some mini droid figures. A Cast Member told us these came in a few weeks ago. There’s CB-23 again!

There’s also 4-LOM, a droid from the Star Wars video games and comics.

The Mini droid figures are limited edition and are $12.99. A Cast Member also told us there were no discounts for these particular items.

Here’s how to get a makeover for your Disney World Droid!

Dok Ondar’s Den of Antiquities

We popped into Dok Ondar’s to see what was new and we found a BIG sale on Lightsaber Blades! A sign posted on the counter alerted us that you could buy all three sizes of lightsaber blades for $30 each (they’re normally $44.99 or $49.99).

Sale on Lightsaber Blades

The three blade sizes you can choose from are 26, 31, and 36 inches. We’re not sure how long this sale will last, so now might be a good time to stock up!

Toydarian

We spotted a new Boba Fett Life Day Plush at Toydarian in the Marketplace. We also saw him at the Star Wars shopping event in Downtown Disney! 

Boba Fett Life Day Plush

This Boba Fett Plush is $22.99.

Carthay Circle Shop

Although we previously saw the Inside Out Wishables at Magic Kingdom (and online), we spotted them at Hollywood Studios, too, at the Carthay Circle shop!

Inside Out Wishables

You can buy the Bing Bong plush or try your luck with one of the mystery plush packs to try and score Joy, Anger, Fear, or Sadness! All plushes are $9.99.

Tower Hotel Gifts

We spotted some new art at the Tower of Terror Shop. These hand-painted cells are super cool! Check out Mickey as Indiana Jones!

And Minnie as Mary Poppins!

We’re really digging this Mickey Mouse with Genie art, too!

The Sorcerer Mickey art is GORGEOUS.

And there’s Oswald art, too!

Each hand-painted cell is $95 unframed. It’s $90 extra to add a black frame, $120 extra to add a black frame and get a special pin, and $160 extra to add a gold frame with plaque.

Bring the Disney magic into your home with this work of art!

Hollywood Studios Attractions

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway has added plexiglass dividers between rows to increase capacity on the ride!

Plexiglass Barriers

We noticed that this cut down wait times quite a bit for this popular attraction!

Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run

The line for Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run was LONG — it stretched all the way to Toy Story Land!

Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run Line

We’ve seen long lines here before, but still…wow!

Hollywood Studios Other

Municiberg

During our visit, Municiberg was closed. It’s usually only open when the space is needed for additional queuing.

We miss the fun music there, though, when it’s closed.

That’s it for our walk around Hollywood Studios. We’ll be back soon, so stay tuned!
