Dateline Disney World takes you to Disney’s Hollywood Studios this week as some exciting action is underway. With Star Wars and a new transportation system on the way, this is an exciting time for Disney’s smallest park at Walt Disney World.

Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway

For some reason, I’m almost looking forward to Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway as much as Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

Toy Story Land 

The newest land in the park remains very popular. Look at this epic line for the Slinky Dog coaster. Would you wait an hour and a half for anything?

Yes, it was slightly busy.
