Location of New Lands in Hollywood Studios
Between all the forum buzz after D23 and school starting I got a little behind on blog posting. I need to stop putting all my thoughts out in the message boards and be sure to also post them here. Ever since the announcement of the new Star Wars and Toy Story lands, one question has […]
Miss Opportunity: Frozen Summer Fun Parade
I recently saw this years Frozen Summer Fun Parade. The parade was nice considering it supposedly had small budget and was an improvement over last years version. It provides that good mid day distraction that parks benefit from. Hollywood Studios has had lots of parades since it’s opening but in recent years they stopped doing them; […]

Disney will not close the park regardless of how much construction is going on; hey they made it work in California Adventure. Many think, and it’s very believable, that they […]
Taking an Aerial Look at Disney Hollywood Studios
Before I start talking about my thoughts on changes coming to Disney Hollywood Studios let us first take a look at the current park. Using Google Earth I took a capture of the park and tried to figure out what was staying and what was going. I quickly categorized and labeled my predictions for the […]
Shanghai Disney Press Conference – Tron Coaster
When I first heard of the Tron coaster I was a little worried because Disney has a long standing rule that roller coaster tracks shouldn’t be visible and dominate the skylines. The first looks at the Tron Coaster design showed a traditional large steel coaster, however, which originally appeared like it might violate this Disney […]
