The New Procedures You Have to Follow in Disney’s Hollywood Studios

[Disney4me]

Things are changing at Hollywood Studios, and there are some new procedures to keep in mind during your next visit.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

The park formerly known as Disney/MGM Studios is about to enter a period of massive transformation, as the former Muppets Courtyard — including Muppet*Vision 3D and PizzeRizzo — is set to close forever in mid-June to make way for a Monsters, Inc. land. However, the Muppets won’t be gone for long, as the characters are moving across the park to take over the Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster from Aerosmith. All of these changes are creating a new set of unofficial rules to follow at the park.

Table Service Shortage

In addition to the shuttering of Muppet*Vision 3D and PizzeRizzo, the closure of the former Muppet Courtyard area also led to the permanent closure of Mama Melrose, one of Hollywood Studios oldest table service restaurants.

With the stalwart Italian restaurant’s closure, Hollywood Studios’ roster of table service restaurants is down to 50’s Prime Time Cafe, Hollywood & Vine, Hollywood Brown Derby, Roundup Rodeo BBQ, and Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater. It’s important to keep that in mind when planning ahead.

Catch Aerosmith’s Final Encore

If you want to bid farewell to Aerosmith before the Muppets evict the “Bad Boys of Boston” from their ride, we’d suggest prioritizing the Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster, maybe even with a Lightning Lane. We’re already seeing wait times increase for the ride as it nears its closure.

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster

As of writing, a closing date for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster has not been announced.

Construction Bottleneck

These new procedures extend to crowd flow issues caused by construction. Once the former Muppet Courtyard closes to transform into Monster’s, Inc. Land, that will likely lead to bottlenecking in the Grand Avenue area near the Rise of the Resistance entrance to Galaxy’s Edge. Perhaps it would be best to use the Toy Story Land entrance to Galaxy’s Edge instead.

Go Under the Sea!

Not all these new procedures are construction-related, though! May 27th will see the addition of not one, but TWO new shows to Hollywood Studios. First up is The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure, a new take on the park’s classic Little Mermaid show. That show will run from 9:15 AM through 7:15 PM each day, and also feature Lightning Lane access.

Unfairly Ever After, a Disney Villains-themed show featuring “spellbinding show with moving music and a most memorable finale—where you help decide who has been treated most unfairly,” will also premiere on the 27th.
