Good morning from Disney's Hollywood Studios! Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: East Coast Edition. Let's see what's going on in the rest of the park while we wait patiently for our tickets to Batuu.

Welcome to Hollywood

Chip and Dale have been meeting outside Sid Cahuenga's at the front of the park, instead of their normal area on Grand Avenue. Due to a combination of construction and the Galaxy's Edge, they had to be moved here.

This friendly Cast Member near the Chinese Theater found an interesting new Hollywood Studios' plethora of hula hoops: Mickey ears!

He even let me get a picture with them.

Construction and Maintenance

The train Oasis Canteen (now "Epic Eats") is in the process of getting a new sibling right next door.

This one is taking the old moniker and will be known as "Oasis Canteen", as it will be specialize in drinks. They were installing the sign on the new booth today.

Just down the path, from the Star Tours, the new (probably restrooms) building is coming along nicely.

Hopefully it will be finished soon.

They're doing what looks like landscaping work near, Sci-Fi Dine-In Restaurant. All this work is why Chip and Dale are at the front of the park now.

Walls are down to the Chinese Theater, revealing a new tail set for the upcoming "Mickey Mouse and Minnie's Runaway Railway" attraction. You can see more about that right here.

Star Wars

I popped into Star Wars Launch Bay to see what was going on … not much, to be honest. This place will probably be a ghost town here in a couple weeks.

I did not find out that on August 25th They'll be at Stage 1 Studio Store from 5-8PM.

This little girl was waiting outside Launch Bay for Rey. She had a present for her!

That's how you make friends throughout the Galaxy!

Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, not a whole lot is happening right now. The Annual Pass preview days, and we are waiting for the big opening. They still have cast members stationed at the entrance to direct traffic. Today they were having fun with the parade tape.

The glorious return of the Applause Box! Anyone who stepped in the box got a full round of applause from the Cast!

All the major projects are finally wrapping up at Hollywood Studios! Galaxy's Edge opens next week, and the Disney Skyliner will be up and running by the end of September.

I hate to say it folks: Hollywood Studios is almost fully functioning theme park again!

But that's it from me for today. We'll be sure to keep you updated on everything happening in the parks.
