Take a look at that lovely theater. Soak it in. Enjoy the view. Looks pretty nice, right? Well, you can’t really see it right now.

Hello from Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Wait, what? It’s pretty hard to make an entire building disappear, but thanks to some NEW construction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, your view walking down Hollywood Boulevard may look a little different. During our recent visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we spotted a BIG eyesore. Come take a look and see what all the fuss is about!

On May 31st, we walked through the gates of Disney’s Hollywood Studios and found quite the construction! Take a look at this MEGA lighting rig set up near Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway. It’s HUGE!

Look at that!

When we got a little closer to the Chinese Theater, we noticed what seemed like a large stage in the middle of the park. Now THAT is interesting.

This thing is HUGE

Here’s a look from the other side. This angle really gives you an idea of the scale of this setup. It’s like a mini Coachella in the middle of Hollywood Studios!

You can really see the SCALE here

Behind the stage, there’s a large tent, too, likely for the talent. But speaking of the talent, what’s going on here, anyway?!

WOW!

So, we’ve had June 5th on our calendars for a while now. Why? The park is closing EXTRA early that day — 5:30PM, to be exact! The park will close early for a private event. After some investigation, we learned that Hollywood Studios is hosting the SAP Sapphire & ASUG Annual Conference, with a headlining performance by MAROON 5!

But wait — there’s ANOTHER major celebrity attending the conference. Reese Witherspoon will be attending the closing keynote at SAP Sapphire Orlando.

For now, it seems like that large stage will be in Hollywood Studios for the next few days. If you’re planning to visit the park between now and June 6th, note that you probably won’t have a clear view of the Chinese Theater. In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.
