Disney World as many of us can see needs to step up their game if they want to win the war for orlando. Well Disney has officialy stepped it up. I've been reading many of the blog posts on the internet about the Hollywood Studios expansions in the works and I've compiled a document of the common threads in the blogs and it sounds spectacular. Sorry no Cars Land. Hope you like it comment your thoughts.

Muppet City would replace Streets of America, and The Honey I Shrunk The Kids Area. Muppet Vision 3D would be updated and the storyline would now follow Walter. Gonzo’s Arcade would replace Pizza Planet. There would be hourly performances from The Electric Mayhem. And there would be a Dark Ride/Boat Ride similar to Pirates of The Caribbean that would follow Kermit going to his Swamp it would be called Kermit’s Rainbow Connection. Mama Melrose would be renamed Swedish Chef’s the place would be re-themed. Sci-Fi Dine In-Theater Restaurant would be replaced with Muppet Studios Catering Co you would be able to watch Muppet Show episodes. ABC Comissary, Honey I Shurnk The Kids Play Set, Studio Catering Co, High Octane Refreshments would all be removed.

Star Tours and Jedi Training Academy would stay in their normal spots. There would be a new restaurant modeled after the Mos Eisley Cantina you would be able to meet Han Solo and Chewbacca here and there would be hourly fights with Han Solo and Chewbacca fighting Galactic Thugs. There would be a land speeder roller coaster similar to space mountain. And there would be an X Wing Fighter simulator ride similar to Mission Space. All characters from Star Wars would be walking around and would be able to get autographs from. Restaruants such as 50’s Prime Time Cafe, and Hollywood and Vine would become part of Hollywood Boulevard all other restaurants would be torn down.
Disney Studios
Disney Studios would be a land encompassing Pixar Place, Backlot Tour, and Lights Motors Action Extreme Stunt Show, American Idol Experience, One Man’s Dream and The Great Movie Ride.
