January 23, 2011 Studios Report

Each week, we talk about what we saw and experience during our weekly photo update inside Disney's Hollywood Studios.  While the photos we take tell a lot, they cannot explain everything going on in the park so this weekly blog series will hopefully fill in the missing parts of the update.

Be sure to reference this week's photo update before reading this entry.

  • Hollywood Studios was very crowded due to the Fantasmic! schedule.  The park was packed, which is really unusual for this time of the year and it's clear that the current showings of Fantasmic! make the Studios a nightmare during times of the year when there aren't that many showings.
  • The construction wall near the Sorcerer's Hat is to there to add some new backdrops behind the characters that appear there for meet-n-greets.  The idea would be to enhance the photos that can be taken there.
  • I was quite surprised by how quickly the Osborne Lights are down this year. I seem to recall them taking much longer to be taken down in years past but they seem to be largely gone by now.
