Hollywood Studio’s 30th Anniversary Celebration Guide
Citizens of Hollywood land, you are cordially invited to commemorate Hollywood Studio’s 30th anniversary! Today marked the reveal of the Park’s 30th anniversary logo and the official kick off to the year-long celebration!
Like Disney does best, they’ll be teasing us with a series of small debuts that will ultimately culminate in the galaxy-defying opening of Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge! Until then though, we have so much to look forward to, fellow citizens of Hollywood land, so let’s get into it!
Incredibles Dance Party
I have a confession: I’m more than a little nervous for my first superhero costume consultation with Edna Mode. She’s one tough cookie, and I can’t wait to finally have the chance to meet her at Hollywood Studios! The debut of the Incredibles-themed dance party on January 18th also marks the first date that guests will be able to meet Edna Mode in a Disney Park…and that’s just ‘fabulous, darling’.
Lighting McQueen’s Racing Academy
Break out the polish and wax, because you’re invited to learn to race right alongside the shiniest and most handsome Piston Cup champion, Lightning McQueen! This brand-new experience will debut in stage show format where Lightning himself will share with his audiences the tricks of the track.
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway
While we wait on an opening date announcement over here at MickeyBlog.com, we’re using our time wisely to hype ourselves up for the new attraction! Featuring never-before-seen glasses-less 3D, this whacky and whimsical journey will take you into the world of the original Mickey Mouse comics…as drawn and made famous by Walt Disney himself!

Wonderful World of Animation
Speaking of Walt, I would bet that he would be a proponent of the new nighttime spectacular coming to Hollywood Studios May1! We all sighed in relief when we caught wind of this new show because the original vision of Hollywood Studios- to celebrate Disney’s film and animation successes– is clearly not going anywhere!
Taunted by the rumors of a Hollywood Studios name change and re-brand, we’re thrilled that Walt’s original passion is still being revered in the Park today!
Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge
Perhaps by the time it opens in late fall of 2019, we’ll all stop referring to it as ‘Star Wars Land’, but until I can break the habit myself, I’ll be busy practicing my piloting skills! By this time next year, we can all say we’ve had the chance to climb into the cockpit and pilot film’s most famous starship…the Millennium Falcon!
This adrenaline-pumping attraction isn’t the only one set to land at Galaxy’s Edge; we’ll also see the opening of a Resistance attraction too! Personally, I’m not sure if I’ll run to pilot the Falcon first…or to the Cantina!
New Food and Merchandise
Speaking of food, I can’t be the only one excited about the new menu items that are on the way! Without a doubt, there will be cupcakes, but I’m most excited for the bites and treats that will be in the Park’s restaurants and shops starting…today!
All through the year, keep your eye out for new eats and treats that will be popping up all across Hollywood Studios! With so much in the pipeline, I want to know what you’re most looking forward to experiencing? Are you itching to get your groove on with Mr. Incredible, or biding your time until Wonderful World of Animation lights up the skies? Leave a comment below!
