about

As Len Testa & Jim Hill continue their walk-thru of Disney’s Hollywood Studios in November of 2018, they turn their attention to the Animation Courtyard area. In particular how the Imagineers have tried to balance this theme park’s celebration of Old Hollywood with WDW Guests desire to find brand-new rides, shows & attractions to experience whenever they visit DHS.

lyrics

Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:

How the Hollywood Brown Derby Restaurant has tried to keep the original thesis of this theme park (i.e., “The Hollywood that never was -- and always will be”) alive

How Disney’s Hollywood Studios is using Disney Junior’s new hot animated series, “Vamperina,” to boost guest traffic in that theme park’s Animation Courtyard area


Launch Bay’s dual purpose (Increase DHS’ capacity by turning the now-empty “Magic of Disney Animation” show building into a new attraction AND familiarize WDW Guests with the characters & the stories they’ll be experiencing in “Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge” when that new “land” opens in late 2019)


How “Star Wars Launch Bay” is expected to remain open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios at least through the early portion of WDW’s 50th anniversary celebration in 2021


How the live-action reimagining of Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” that the Studio is now readying for production could prolong the run of DHS’ “Voyage of the Little Mermaid” show
