Now approaching the fifth week in a row, arriving guests are still finding half of the” Stage” parking lot remaining under construction. A second metal lift tower post to support the future gondola system haul cable has been installed in the middle of the “Music” guest parking area at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The future Hollywood Studios Skyliner station with the anticipated Golden Era décor now has pieces of wood in place where the transport cars will lower down into the station. Likewise, construction crews are working hard paving new concrete behind the construction wall across the street from the cast member parking lot. In addition, there is a brand new billboard in the tram travel lanes encouraging guests to follow Minnie Mouse on Instagram. Click on the link below for full coverage.

PizzeRizzo the week of Easter enjoyed dining hours later than normal as the restaurant was open until 7:30pm. Hopefully this is a trend that stays. The Stage One store right across the sidewalk has platform signs on the outside window display which go from platform 1 to 3. There is a new fun prop hanging inside the store as well. Likewise guests may not notice at the exit of Muppets 3D exit one of the two Dr. Bunsen and Beaker reminder signs reminding guest to either do not enter or to drop 3D glasses off in the bin , are gone this week. They kept the finger pointing to the purple bins for the 3D glasses.
