What’s New in Hollywood Studios this Week: Eats, Decor, Merchandise, New Entrance, Skyliner Update, and MORE!
Hollywood Studios is one of our favorite places to be during the Holidays.

Our visit this week including collecting everything that’s new in one super-post for you!

Our stop in the Trolley Car Cafe (Starbucks) was quite seasonal! We spotted another Flurry of Fun eat, a Large Mickey Shortbread Cookie. And this isn’t just one cookie — it’s a shortbread cookie sandwich — our favorite kind of sandwich! It’s filled with raspberry jam.

Happy Holiday Greetings from Woody!
Any visit to Toy Story Land means a peek over the construction walls to check on the progress of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge — this new Land opens in Fall 2019!

What’s New on Hollywood Studios’ Echo Lake
The refurbishment of Tatooine Traders is complete. The shop seems much more open now and easier to navigate. There is still some work being done on the outside of the shop, but that has no impact on the shopping experience in the store.

Backlot Express is home to one of our favorite Flurry of Fun eats, the Chocolate Chestnut Pinecone, which has proven to be extremely popular. This is so popular it has been selling out pretty early in the day, so when it is available pop-up menus are out for it, when it sells out you won’t see it on the Holiday menu or as a pop-up menu. When we were there it was sold out.
Chocolate Chestnut Pinecone keeps selling out!
You will find the Flurry of Fun Frostbite and Frosted Gingerbread Cocktails here — plus the must-have Mickey Ornament Stein. You can also sip on Frozen Hot Chocolate here during the season.
