Disney’s Hollywood Studios returns Frozen Fun, renames theater

frozen-fun-dhs

It will be the coolest summer ever at Disney’s Hollywood Studios as the park returns the popular ‘Frozen Fun’ entertainment events from last summer. They also announced that the “For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration” will move from the Premier Theater near the streets of America to the newly renamed Hyperion Theater (formerly Superstar Television Theater home to American Idol Experience).

The Hyperion name has a long history with the Walt Disney Company. After seeing the first hints of success in Los Angeles, Walt moved his studio from a storefront to a larger structure on Hyperion Avenue. They operated there from 1926 to 1939 and produced many animated shorts including “Steamboat willie” and “Three Little Pigs.” It was also where the first full length animated feature was produced “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” Sadly the old studio building is long gone.

There is also a Hyperion Theater at Disney California Adventure, where mini-theatrical productions are held.

Disneyland & Walt Disney World raise ticket prices

As sure as the Earth goes round our sun, Disney’s US theme parks have raised their admission prices again.

As predicted the Walt Disney World one-day ticket price for the Magic Kingdom broke the $100 barrier increasing by $6 to $105. The other three Orlando parks – Epcot, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios – only rose $3 from $94 to $97. That’s $2 less than originally thought.

On the other coast, a one-day adult admission to Disneyland or Disney California Adventure will rise from $96 to $99. Prices for children ages 3 to 9 will rise from $90 to $93. A Premium annual pass with parking and no blackout dates will go up from $699 to $779. Almost a full day increase, but still a value if you go just 10 days a year.

I don’t really blame Disney. One of the big complaints I hear is crowds in the park. People were used to crowds during the busy season, but now it seems busy season all year long. Raising prices could help cap the crowds.
