Disney4me Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hooray for HOLLYWOOD! Hollywood Studios, that is! Hollywood Studios We took a stroll around the park recently and were surprised with a ton of new fun finds, from big to small! And we’re starting at the brand newest of them all. Welcome to… Grand Avenue You already know that BaseLine Tap House made its debut at the very end of September. BaseLine Tap House It’s housed at the top of the brand new Grand Avenue area of the park, which is now open to all guests. Grand Avenue Much like the Streets of America that came before it, Grand Avenue is made up of shop facades featuring windows where it’s all in the details. 728 Grand Avenue At 728 Grand Avenue, Angeleno Alterations stitches up garments for the ladies and gents. Angeleno Alterations Angeleno Alterations And the Spring Flower Market has been “Blooming Happiness since 1978.” Spring Flower Market Spring Flower Market But the Garcia Sisters have been serving Fine Foods even longer… since 1933! Mercado Garcia Sisters And Luxury Units are now available at Grand Lofts. Grand Lofts I wouldn’t mind living in one of the luxury units here… especially once the nearby walls to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge come down in 2019! Grand Avenue New Starbucks Cups Have you seen the new Animal Kingdom Starbucks Mickey Tumbler we found at Creature Comforts? Well, we told you there would be more to come, and indeed there is. Check out the Hollywood Studios Starbucks Mickey Tumbler at the Studios Starbucks location, The Trolley Car Cafe! Hollywood Studios Mickey Starbucks Tumbler The Tumbler Mickeys are made up of park icons, attractions, and even visual patterns that capture so much of each park. And, just like at Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios has its own new design for the “You Are Here” Mug. New “You Are Here” Hollywood Studios Mug New “You Are Here” Hollywood Studios Mug New “You Are Here” Hollywood Studios Mug But The Trolley Car has something we haven’t seen at the other in-parks Starbucks locations… yet. It has its very own specialty drink: The Golden Age! The Golden Age This Chai made with Toffee Nut Syrup can be made iced, hot, or as a Frappucino. Echo Lake Refurbishment The refurbishment of Echo Lake continues, as the lake surrounded by spots like Min & Bill’s Dockside Diner has been completely drained. Echo Lake Refurishment Once the refurbishment is complete, it won’t only be water coming back to the lake. Gertie herself — of Dinosaur Gertie’s Ice Cream of Extinction — will be dawning a brand new accessory — a Santa Hat! Echo Lake Refurishment You see, Echo Lake should be all set just in time for the Holidays to roll around, which — as far as Hollywood Studios is concerned — is November 9th! That marks the return of the Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! Holiday Spectacular, as well as new holiday experiences debuting around the park. Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM! Sunset Seasons Greetings will bring SNOW to Sunset Boulevard, along with new decorations and a holiday projection show at the Hollywood Tower Hotel running throughout the evening. Minnie’s Halloween Dine But let’s not rush through fall just yet! Your place for Autumn Fun in Hollywood Studios is Hollywood & Vine. Hollywood and Vine That’s where Minnie’s Halloween Dine — featuring Minnie, Mickey, Daisy, Donald, and Goofy in their Halloween costumes — is in full swing! Minnie’s Halloween Dine And remember, as of last month, Minnie’s Seasonal Dine is available during lunch as well as dinner! (Breakfast remains the Play ‘n Dine experience featuring Disney Junior Characters.) Coco Cupcake Counter Service locations around the park are serving the new and colorful Dulce de Leche Coco Cupcake, in celebration of the upcoming Pixar film. (I can’t wait for this one!) Coco Cupcake Look for it in spots like The Trolley Car Cafe. Fairfax Fare Remember the Loaded Baked Potato at Fairfax Fare? Fairfax Fare It’s been replaced by a 7-Layer Rice Bowl. Fairfax Fare Menu Cilantro rice, black beans, a corn medley, pico de gallo, sour cream, and cheddar cheese can be topped with your choice of pulled pork or grilled chicken. Sangria Slushy If you aren’t able to swing by Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs for one of their new Wine Slushies, you may want to stop by… Anaheim Produce, of all places! Anaheim Produce They are serving up Sangria Slushies with Beso del Sol Sangria! Sangria Slushy Woot! BB-9E Krispy Treats BB-9E — the First Order Droid we’ll get to know (and fear) when The Last Jedi is released — is featured on one of the redesigned prepackaged Star Wars Krispy Treats. BB-9E Krispy Treat You’ll find other refreshed Krispy Treat choices around the park, too. New Star Wars Krispy Treats ABC Commissary Oh, my goodness, this is taking me back… Does anyone remember the days of Chicken Breast Strips, long before the arrival of Chicken Breast Nuggets in Disney World? ABC Commissary Menu Well, they’re back! In one location, anyway. Stop by ABC Commissary for some good ol’ Chicken Strips! Chicken Breast Strips Check out the new Modern Family and Speechless displays while you’re there. Modern Family And remember this from Modern Family: “When life gives you lemonade, make lemons. Life will be all like, ‘What?!'” Speechless PizzeRizzo At PizzeRizzo, there’s a new drink on the menu. PizzeRizzo — The City’s Top Rated Pizza A Frozen Italian Margarita has replaced the Wild Berry Basil Limoncello. PizzeRizzo Beverage Menu Backlot Express And just a small update from Backlot Express before we go… Backlot Express The Royal Guard Burger from the Backlot’s Star Wars-themed menu is no longer served on a black bun.
