Disney's Hollywood Studios will have a new way to celebrate the holidays this holiday season when a new experience begins at the park called, Sunset Seasons Greetings. Here are the details:
From Nov. 9 through Dec. 31, 2017, guests can enjoy Sunset Boulevard as it is transformed into an unforgettable sight each evening. The billboards lining the tops of buildings will move and tell their own stories about the season with some memorable characters, and even the Tower of Terror will transform and bring life to the characters’ stories.
The Disney character moments that guests can enjoy include:
- The “Toy Story” characters making guesses at which new toys are coming to join them this Christmas as the scene becomes enveloped in wrapping paper
- The Swedish Chef from The Muppets babbles as he does while turning the street into giant gingerbread houses
- Mickey and Minnie looking back at a hometown Christmas as the scene turns into a beautiful Norman Rockwell-style town, starting in black and white before slowly developing color
- Olaf dreaming of his holiday wish as the scene turns into a Frozen snowscape, with a beautiful Aurora Borealis and projected snowfall.
