Hollywood Studios: New Theater Takes Shape (PART 1)

A new theater is currently being built at Disney's Hollywood Studios. While this could sound exciting to some, it is important to specify that this new venue could only be used during special events and/or for after-hour parties (such as park buyouts). On the other hand, this could also be part of a much bigger project that includes the removal of quite a few theaters on the other side of the park (such as the old Premiere Theater). Let's take a look around the park:

The former entrance of the Studio Backlot Tour has become a temporary Mickey Mouse meet-and-greet:











Pixar Place:



A new, temporary door was added to the expanded Toy Story Mania building:



The park feels much busier this year (while Epcot has never been quieter):



Another look at the new Soundstage where Guests can sit down and cool off:



It's a very bare location, but it serves its purpose:
