food IS a theme park
Welcome to our latest roundup of What’s New in Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Slinky Dog Dash
We have a LOT to chat about today — including LOTS of menu updates — so let’s dive right in!
We’re back in Hollywood Studios and we found so many updates for you this week! A new store “popped” up, there’s a new Lunch Box Tart, a new character meet and greet, and lots of menu updates! Let’s get started.
Hooray for Hollywood!
We noticed as we walked to the park from the parking lot that some landscaping was being added to the Disney Skyliner Station for the park.
Hey there from Sunset Ranch Market in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Today we are bringing you an all-new review from Fairfax Fare!
Sunset Ranch Market
In the past, Fairfax Fare focused on Barbecue classics like smoked ribs and chicken; but now, their menu consists of “Tex-mex” choices like tamales, rice bowls, and fajitas.
Hollywood Studios is busy preparing for new arrivals (we’re talking Lightning McQueen and Star Wars), but that doesn’t mean there aren’t other changes in the park. Here’s all the new updates we spotted this week!
ooohhh! A Light Up Key Chain!!
We can’t resist this Alien Key Chain! How Fun!
The Flurry of Fun at Walt Disney World’s Disney’s Hollywood Studios might as well be called Flurry of Deliciousness because with the holiday festivities also came a ton of exciting holiday treats! Believe it or not, there are so many fantastic eats and drinks that we created the DFB’s exclusive Flurry of Fun Food Checklist.
Flurry of Fun Food Checklist
Yeah, we take our snacking pretty seriously. 😉
But now we need to break it down. Because if you’re trying to eat your way through the Disney Parks this year, you’ll have to roll yourself home. (Trust us, we know.) And that’s why you’ve got us!
This is one Flurry of Fun treat that you don’t want to miss if you’re an egg nog fan — and believe us when we say that it was a bit of a surprise! Panna Cotta that’s not done well tends to give us milk jello vibes, and that’s not a good thing. But the Egg Nog Panna Cotta from Catalina Eddie’s was a good example of panna cotta done right.

The panna cotta itself is creamy and really carries that egg nog flavor. The tart raspberries are a phenomenal counterpart, and we also loved the bits of cranberry on top. It’s a dessert that’s both comfortable and classy. Get this!
Our Flurry of Fun Food Marathon continues in Hollywood Studios at Fairfax Fare and Dockside Diner where we indulged in a Hot Cocoa Flight. This isn’t just any Hot Cocoa Flight, it’s a Spiked Hot Cocoa Flight!
Hot Chocolate Flight
Your trio of creamy, chocolately, goodness is made up of Baileys and Hot Chocolate with cinnamon, Vanilla Vodka and Hot Chocolate, and Cherry Bourbon and Hot Chocolate.
It’s a Flurry of Fun — and Food — in Hollywood Studios! We’ve been all over the park trying the holiday treats. Fairfax Fare’s Flurry of Fun treat is a Strawberry Mint Crème.
Strawberry Mint Creme
Right away we were disappointed to see it was missing its Mickey and Minnie topper which adds the festive feeling to it (we were told the toppers aren’t in yet). Without the topper it kind of looks like a spring-time strawberry shortcake dessert.
We’ve already taken you on a tour of the gorgeous Chocolate Easter Egg display at the Grand Floridian this year.
Eggs on display at Grand Floridian
But there is no shortage of Easter fun and food happening around Disney World over the next several days, so let’s HOP to it!
The Grand Floridian display will be available for guests to view through April 9th. (And if your spring break plans don’t include a trip down to Disney World, you can see the whole thing here!)
HAPPY HOLIDAYS from Walt Disney World! The season is in full swing with Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays, and the Flurry of Fun at Hollywood Studios.
