We just learned that Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be opening on June 30 — but in the meantime, we’ve searched out What’s New NOW at Hollywood Studios (and nearby Art of Animation and Pop Century Resorts!). Let’s gooooooo!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Menus and Eats

At pop-up bars around the park, guests can order two new seasonal drinks. Baby Blues is comprised of Tito’s Handmade Vodka (SHOUTOUT AUSTIN, TX!), Bacardi Superior Rum, Tanqueray Gin, Blue Curacao, Sweet-and-Sour, and Sprite! And you get a glow cube, of course.

Green Screen is Absolut Pears Vodka, Midori, Pineapple Juice, and Sprite (again with a glow cube!).

(Anyone else as disturbed as I am on the pricing of these?)

Over at Trolley Car Cafe, you can pick up this seasonal Red Velvet Cupcake, which is frosted with chocolate frosting and comes garnished with Mickey and Minnie!

At ABC Commissary, they’re serving up Surf & Turf, which features chicken, fish, and shrimp — plus sides of fries and cole slaw. We love the thick steak fries here.

At Anaheim Produce, grab the new seasonal drink: Mango Colada. Yum! To make room for this tasty-sounding drink, the Frozen Beso Sol Sangria has been removed.

At Backlot Express, Galactic Lemonade is just the renamed Guava Lemonade that was introduced last month. Of course, the Star Wars tie-in is to be expected.

Hollywood Scoops has changed out the root beer used in their floats. Previously, root beer floats were made with Coney Island Hard Root Beer. Now guests receive Not Your Father’s Root Beer.

BaseLine Tap House has a new small plate: a Coffee-Rubbed Rib-Eye Steak Puff with Olive Salad. (Yeah, I don’t really know what a steak puff is, either, but upon a google search it seems to be steak in a puff pastry? Anyone out there have experience?)

Merchandise

In the world of Disney Parks merchandise, you can find several items that feature all four Disney World parks! This Cinderella Castle-shaped plate is covered with Parks icons!

Construction

Construction continues in earnest all over the Studios, including the restoration of the Muppets Fountain. For a short period this was filled with plants, not water. We’re happy to see her return to watery glory.

Art of Animation and Pop Century Resorts

Over at Art of Animation Resort, the resort’s food court — Landscape of Flavors — has added Chicken Parmesan to the menu. Sadly the Cheesy Pesto Bread we’ve always loved is gone. Womp, womp.

The seasonal drink at Art of Animation’s Drop-Off Pool Bar is Cupid’s Pink Arrow — a concoction of Absolut Vodka, Triple Sec, Raspberry Puree, a fresh strawberry garnish, and a glow cube.

At Everything Pop at Pop Century Resort, guests can now get a Rum Smoothie. Healthy in so many ways. ;)

There’s also a draft beer on tap at Everything Pop: Funky Buddha. This is the first draft beer we’ve seen here — and it’s a good one!

The Candy Hearts Cupcake is a pretty, sugary seasonal option in the dessert case here.

One big change at Everything Pop is Artisanal Pizza now served at the first window, where desserts used to be served.

Flatbreads are no longer on the menu here, so these Artisanal Pizzas are a fun replacement.
