Multiple Offerings Ending at Hollywood Studios on Monday; "Zootopia" Trailer Released, Sneak Preview Coming to Disney Parks

First off Happy New Year, 2016 is off and running and so is the Disney news. Last night's live stream of the 'Fantasy in the Sky' fireworks on the Disney Parks Blog was the perfect way to ring in the new year. I hope everyone had a wonderful start to their new year as well. I would also like to thank each and everyone that reads what is put out the blog for making 2015 such a great year. I'm hoping 2016 is just as good if not better for It All Started With a Mouse.

Multiple Offerings Ending at Hollywood Studios on Monday:

In preparation of the construction of both Star Wars and Toy Story Lands at Hollywood Studios, multiple offerings on the Streets of America will be permanently ending at end of business day Monday, January 4th. With the last night of the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights ending on Sunday, two character meet & greets will be ending. 

The Lightning McQueen & Mater as well as the Phineas & Ferb meet & greet will be ending in preparation for the incoming construction. Also closing on Monday will be the recently built Joffrey's  Coffee kiosk. 

This is just speculation and not anything I've heard however I believe the Lightning McQueen & Mater meet & greet will eventually return once Cars 3 hits theaters in a few years. No word on any other removal of attractions on Streets of America or any other nearby establishments that have long been rumored to be going when construction on Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land begins. Stay tuned for details.

"Zootopia" Trailer Released, Sneak Preview Coming to Disney Parks:

Yesterday, on New Year's Eve (or as they are calling it Zoo Year's Eve.) the second trailer for Disney's Zootopia was released. The trailer features the new song "Try Everything" sung by one of the film's stars and Grammy-winning artist, Shakira. Here is the trailer:

The Disney Parks Blog also released that guests will be able to get a sneak preview of the film at Disney Parks beginning January 21. At Disney California Adventure, the preview will be shown inside the Bug's Life Theater with special in-theater effects. At Disney's Hollywood Studios, the preview will once again be shown inside the One Man's Dream attraction where guests will see advance clips from the film.

Zootopia is a melting pot, where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when rookie Officer Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, con-artist fox, Nick Wilde (voice of Jason Bateman), to solve the mystery.

Walt Disney Animation Studios brings "Zootopia" to theaters in 3D on March 4. The film is directed by Byron Howard (Tangled, Bolt) and Rich Moore (Wreck-It-Ralph, The Simpsons) and is produced by Clark Spencer (Wreck-It-Ralph).
