    We are OBSESSED with Mickey Mouse Shorts and learned a while back there was a photo opportunity to take a photo in Hollywood Studios with the "potato" from Potatoland. With the recent changes in HS is this photo opp still available?

    Hi Erica, 

    "There's a great big beautiful potato, shining at the end of every day!" Ah, Goofy - such a wise one! Welcome to planDisney, and thanks for stopping by with your question about your upcoming Disney adventure. My daughters also love the Mickey Mouse Shorts, so a Potatoland photo op was high on our must-do list when we visited Disney’s Hollywood Studios this summer.

    I checked with a Cast Member, and I have some great news - you can find the Potatoland backdrop (and yes, the famous potato!) inside the Mickey Mouse Shorts Theater. You’ll spot it near Echo Lake, just past For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration as you make your way toward Backlot Express. If you’re short on time or just want to head straight for Potatoland, you can pop in for a quick photo. When my family visited, we had the place to ourselves, which meant plenty of time to strike some silly poses with Goofy’s prized potato and the other fun backdrops!

    Speaking of the Frozen Sing-Along, be sure to catch the seasonal Frozen Sing-Along Celebration Holiday Show. My girls love to sing, and ever since Frozen first came out, our house has been filled with “Let It Go” on repeat! Each year, Olaf joins the fun at For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration with a special holiday twist. You won’t want to miss his cheerful performance of “That Time of Year” - and let’s just say there might be a few snowy surprises in store!

    I hope this helps you plan your Hollywood Studios day on your upcoming trip. Have the best time creating wonderful memories at Potatoland. If you have any other questions in the meantime, please visit us again at planDisney

    Have a spud-tacular time!
