While visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios today, we noticed that the Disney Jr. meet and greet area is now behind construction walls and the characters have been relocated. It’s unclear why the meet and greet area is under construction, but we assume it has to do with the upcoming Cool Kid Summer activation in the Animation Courtyard area. Walt Disney World did not return a request for comment. Here’s a look around! Disney Jr. Meet & Greet Area Under Construction All four of the meet and greet locations are behind construction walls shrubs in Animation Courtyard. At least one of the locations appears to be in a state of being dismantled. It’s unclear what the future of the area holds for these meet and greets. We will update you should Walt Disney World return our request for comment. Disney Jr. Characters Relocated to Echo Lake With their meet and greet locations unavailable, Fancy Nancy, Doc McStuffins, and Vampirina have moved over to Echo Lake to meet with guests there. You should be able to find information about where and when you can meet each character in the My Disney Experience app on the day of your visit. We stopped by earlier this afternoon and caught their final appearances of the day. In general, you should be able to meet the trio of Disney Jr. characters from morning until early afternoon. Just like over in Animation Courtyard, each character meets

Good afternoon from Disney’s Hollywood Studios where a new Muppets-themed Disney Skyliner design has debuted! The new design celebrates the 70th Anniversary of the storied franchise, right ahead of the removal of MuppetVision 3D from the park next month. Here’s a look! Muppets Themed Disney Skyliner The Muppets-themed Disney Skyliner contains graphics on all four sides of the gondola cabin – a rarity for the Most Magical Flight on Earth. One side contains Miss Piggy, Fozzy Bear, and Sam Eagle. Kermit gets a side of the Skyliner cabin completely to himself, complete with a rainbow. Statler and Waldorf are doing what they do best – heckling, and finally, a version of the Muppets 70th Anniversary logo can be found on the doors. Here’s a detailed look!

As we continue to monitor Universal Epic Universe leading up to the grand opening, there is a bit of a developing situation for two of the park’s roller coasters. Both Curse of the Werewolf in the Dark Universe land, and Stardust Racers in Celestial Park have been down for days. Here’s what we know. Stardust Racers – A Dueling Coaster at Epic Universe Two Roller Coasters Not Working For Days at Epic Universe Stardust Racers, a dueling roller coaster in the Celestial Park section of Epic Universe, is not only Epic Universe’s best roller coaster, it is arguably the best roller coaster at any of Universal’s theme parks. The coaster takes guests through a series of dueling elements that put you in a race across the stars with the other coaster. Unfortunately, Stardust Racers is currently in its third day of unexpected downtime. It’s unclear what is wrong with the roller coaster or when it will be operational again. During our visit to Epic Universe yesterday, there was no testing being done on the roller coaster, and Team Members didn’t appear to be actively working on getting it running again. The second roller coaster that is not operational, and hasn’t been for two days now is Curse of the Werewolf. This family spinning roller coaster is located in Dark Universe and is one of two attractions in the land behind Monsters Unchained. Just like Stardust Racers, it’s unclear what is wrong with the roller coaster,
