Hello from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

Upon taking our walk around Hollywood Studios to find everything new and updated, not only did we find a snack to try, but we also discovered some new merch and an update to the loading process of one of the most popular rides here!

Hollywood Studios Food Updates

Hollywood Scoops

What’s ooey and gooey and oh, so chocolatey? It’s the Hot Cocoa Sea Salt Caramel Bread Pudding at Hollywood Scoops. This is THE treat for chocolate lovers, thanks to all the melted chocolate chips. There’s a touch of caramel flavor, but the chocolate was the most prominent flavor!

You can grab this warm treat now for $5.29.

Popcorn Cart near Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway

We’ve never seen the popcorn cart near Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway and the Frozen Sing-Along Celebration open, but it seems to be open now!

That’s one more place at Hollywood Studios to grab a quick snack!

The White Christmas Tree Popcorn Bucket Is BACK in Stock in Disney World!

Hollywood Studios Merchandise Updates

Once Upon A Time

The 2021 Minnie Ears can be found at Once Upon A Time — and this may be the only place at Hollywood Studios where you can find them right now (believe us, we looked).

We don’t expect these to last long, so if you’re wanting to ring in the New Year with this stylish accessory, grab a pair now! These ears are $29.99.

We also noticed some fun, new character fans!

Featuring characters like Orange Bird…

…and icons from the parks!

These fans each cost $9.99!

Check out more photos of the new fans here!

We found some SUPER cute new kids’ pajamas, like this Incredibles Pajama Set, which looks almost like Mr. Incredible’s super suit!

These Sulley Pajamas have Sulley’s face on them and little horns that reach just past the shoulders! Both pairs of jammies are $34.99 each.

There were also a few new kids’ t-shirts, including this colorful Disney World Mickey Mouse Shirt with one pink and one yellow sleeve!

This black Disney World Mickey Mouse Shirt has stars on its flutter sleeves and Mickey’s pants!

These shirts are $24.99 each.

Creature Stall

Over at Galaxy’s Edge, a new creature arrived at the Creature Stall — the Dianoga! This is the guy that terrified Han and Luke in the trash compactor in Star Wars: A New Hope.

We previously saw this tentacled guy at Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort, but now he’s available at Disney World, too, for $39.99.

Resistance Supply

Resistance Supply has finally reopened, but we only spotted one new piece of merch — an X-Wing Helmet for adults.

These helmets have the symbol of the Rebel Alliance on them! They’re $69.99 each. May the Force be with you!

Didn’t Get a Disney World Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group at 7AM? Here’s What You Can Do.

Docking Bay 7

If you’re looking to get your hands on that SWEET Paddy Frog Sipper (and be just like Jabba the Hutt!), but can’t get to Ronto Roasters (where it’s usually stocked) before it closes, you can also grab one from Docking Bay 7!

You can get it with a fountain drink for $15.99 or with Moof Juice for $17.49.

Hollywood Studios Attractions

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run has a new boarding process that involves colored dots on the floor to organize people into groups. The attraction has also added plexiglass between the gunner and engineer positions so that more groups can ride at one time.

Although, in theory, this should shorten wait times for the ride, we found that our wait was about the same as it was before the plexiglass was added.

Toy Story Land Attraction Overflow

When Toy Story Land gets busy and the lines get long, Municiberg opens for overflow queues. And it WAS open when we visited Hollywood Studios, but it wasn’t in use.

That’s pretty much it for our time here at Hollywood Studios, but we’ll be back soon with even more updates.
