Disney Pic of the Week: The Great Movie Ride

Posted on by Scott Thomas
Back in February of this year (2015), the Sorcerer’s Hat was about 80 percent removed from Disney’s Hollywood Studies. I knew the next time I would visit, the view down Hollywood Blvd. would be very different. Or would it? For Star Wars Weekends and Frozen Summer Fun, Disney placed a large stage in front of … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: The Great Movie Ride"
