Disney’s Hollywood Studios has a new shot glass featuring the Earffel Tower, the park icon that was demolished to make way for Toy Story Land. This shot glass — or “toothpick holder” — matches a water bottle released last month.
Earffel Tower Shot Glass – $9.99
The cubic shot glass features an Art Deco design with the black and white Earffel Tower in the center. The Disney’s Hollywood Studios wordmark is on the tower. A blue background features white spotlights shining up at the tower and black palm trees in the foreground — although the palm tree trunks are cut off strangely. In gold lettering is “The Earffel Tower” and “Est. 1989.”
The Earffel Tower (a play on “Eiffel Tower”) stood at the park from its 1989 opening until 2016. The tower originally featured the Disney–MGM Studios Theme Park logo but was updated when the park was renamed. Guests who rode the Studio Backlot Tour were told the hat size was 342 3/8. It weighed 5,000 pounds. The icon did not actually function as a water tower.
The glass is hand wash only. It’s available at Celebrity 5 & 10 on Hollywood Boulevard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Since the Earffel Tower’s demolition and the removal of the park’s giant Sorcerer hat, the Tower of Terror has served as the icon of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. A taller version of the Earffel Tower still exists at Walt Disney Studios Park, where it has served as the Parisian park icon since 2002.
