Disney’s Hollywood Studios: The Awakening + Construction Update
With no more than a few hours passing since one of the biggest closures (as far as space goes) in any Disney Park, the Disney's Hollywood Studios has experienced an awakening... have you felt it?
Before we get into the new Star Wars entertainment we would be remiss to not take a look at the rest of the every changing park and the addition of construction walls.
Of course, with walls going up to block off the Streets of America, some deconstruction has been going on for a few weeks where possible starting with the Premier Theater.
Over at Pixar Place, the road has become a dead end with walls blocking that way towards the former Streets of America that include some concept art for Toy Story Land.
Besides the Streets of America, walls are a plenty throughout the park. The first walls are in the center of the park while preparation for the projectors for the new fireworks show.
New meet and greets are coming near Echo Lake for Olaf and Mickey and Minnie.
Also, we have the removal of towers that have been in place since the early days of the park as part of the Sorcery in the Sky fireworks show.
Pizza Planet is still behind walls with more facade removal.
As far as food goes in the park, with the closure of many grab and go and quick service eateries, tests are starting with different options including changing the Writers Stop from a pastry and dessert option to more of an "upper class" option with pretzels, cheese plates, and alcohol.
Now to experience the Awakening, head to the next page!Heading into the first summer since Star Wars: The Force Awakens has been released Disney's Hollywood Studios is working on making up for the lack of Star Wars Weekends by adding a stage show, First Order March, and an upcoming update to the fireworks in the park. Today we take a look at the First Order March and Star Wars: A Galaxy Far, Far Away stage show.
The First Order March takes place each hour during the morning and into the afternoon with a dozen First Order Stormtroopers led by Capt. Phasma marching from Star Wars Launch Bay to the stage in front of the Chinese Theater where they do an almost military display and Phasma barks orders of intimidation to them and the guest gathered. But by far the most intimidating part of the is when the First Order gets face to face with the guests.
Star Wars: A Galaxy Far, Far Away stage show (or Star Wars fashion show as my friend put it) is a multimedia presentation that showcases scenes and stars from all seven of the Star Wars films.
Both of these pieces of entertainment take place on the center stage which is fully exposed to the elements. If you are planning on waiting for a good view, make sure you have lots of fluids and sunscreen.
