Hollywood Studios Update - New Cars M&G and More

Disney's Hollywood Studios is becoming the Disney theme park with the most meet-and-greets in Florida, it seems. Indeed, if you think about it, there you can meet Phineas & Ferb, Winnie the Pooh, the Little Einsteins, other Disney Junior characters, the Incredibles, Mickey Mouse, a lot of miscellaneous Disney characters inside the "Magic of Disney Animation", the stars of "Disney Channel Rocks!", a large number of street performers along the main street of the park, and many, many more characters!

Now, you can add a new meet-and-greet location. Well, it's not exactly "new", as it has only been renovated, and, to tell the truth, it looked much better before the refurbishment. But, we'll let you judge that. Let's start:

It is always a pleasure to see Fantasmic! performing! If you've been following our site lately, you may have read the news about Fantasmic!, which will finally return to perform nightly from July 3 to September 30, 2011!! That's a really great news, isn't it?:

All the foreign park maps have been changed, to reflect the introduction of the new Star Tours 2 attraction:

A look around the park:

Disney Channel Rocks!:

Yes, the view is nice, but... this has to leave:

Going to the Animation Courtyard:

Work is well underway on the former extended queue for the "Magic of Disney Animation" attraction:

We do not know what they're going to do here:

Pixar Studios:

Never seen Pixar Studios this empty!:

A high-resolution photo of the area was a must:

Toy Story Mania...

...only had a 50-minute wait? That's a steal!:

Nothing new here... yet:

Now, it is time to check out the new "Cars 2" meet-and-greet, located exactly in the same location the former "Cars" meet-and-greet was located:

Very few people were in line to see the Cars characters:

Tow Mater has received a new mark on the side:

The meet-and-greet has received new LED lights. That's good:

Some particulars of the new M&G:

Here you are both Lightning McQueen and Mater:

Phineas and Ferb's meet-and-greet, on the other hand, is very, very popular:

Buzz Lightyear is missing from the top of the "Pizza Planet" restaurant:

The new Star Tours is still popular:

But it only had a 20-minute wait (well, TSM only had a 50-minute wait, so I think that's fair):

Sounds Closed:

Jedi in training meet here:

Going to Sunset Boulevard:

Work continues on the "Fresh Produce" stand:

Mickey has finally got his moving hand back!:
