But there are some other less well-known corners of the theme park. And perhaps because they don’t draw big crowds, Walt Disney World Resort wants to make some changes.
Pixar Place
Pixar Place is a spot near Toy Story Land where guests can meet and greet various Pixar characters at the Disney Park. Through the years, it has been the home of Mike and Sulley, the Incredibles, and Edna Mode.

Most recently, guests could grab a photo with characters from Elemental. However, it has been changed to an additional seating area. It’s likely that Elemental’s mixed reviews and reception have not made the characters a big draw to park guests. However, it seems unlikely that some extra tables and chairs are helping any more.
Grand Avenue
Construction walls have been up for months in the Grand Avenue section of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The area around Muppet*Vision 3D is ripe for change.

Many have speculated that the fountain is being refurbished to coincide with the new Jollywood Nights show featuring Kermit and Miss Piggy.

The fountain sits in front of the Muppet*Vision 3D show. Once a major attraction at the theme park when it opened over 30 years ago, it has since dwindled in popularity.

Although these changes may seem minor, they may signal Disney is looking to update the older areas of the theme park. Despite Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ impressive roster of attractions, the “theme” of the park needs some fixing.
At least…that’s this writer’s opinion.
