Hollywood Studios Update: Demolition Progress (PART 1)

A very large portion of Disney's Hollywood Studios is now completely empty.
In addition to the removal of the Streets of America facades, "Lights, Motors, Action," and the Studio Backlot Tour, almost all of the buildings that were found in backstage areas between the old Catastrophe Canyon and Mickey Avenue are now gone. These empty plots of land will soon become new Star Wars and Toy Story themed lands. Come along as we check the work that has been done.
