Status: Confirmed

Dates: Now - Summer 2019

The Legends of Hollywood store at Disney's Hollywood Studios in the Sunset Blvd area of the park is currently closed so that the interior can be remodeled and extended into the former Planet Hollywood Super Store space. The expanded Legends of Hollywood store is expected to reopen in the summer of 2019.

Though the Planet Hollywood location at Disney's Hollywood Studios closed permanently several weeks ago, guests who want to purchase merchandise like what was formerly available here can still visit the Planet Hollywood SuperStore at Disney Springs.

Status: Confirmed

Dates: TBA - May 1, 2019

Disney Junior character Fancy Nancy will be coming soon to an all-new character greeting location at Disney's Hollywood Studios' Animation Courtyard beginning this May. However, to make way for this new character, part of the Disney Junior meet and greet space at Disney's Hollywood Studios will be going under refurbishment so Disney can install a fun new backdrop just for Nancy that includes her backyard playhouse. Nancy will replace Sofia the First, who will no longer be meeting guests in this area at Disney's Hollywood Studios, though we don't know yet when Sofia's last day will be.
