Disney Expands Hollywood Tower Hotel Refurbishment
The refurbishment work on Disney's Hollywood Tower Hotel at Disney's Hollywood Studios has expanded to include the rear of the iconic building. Scaffolding has been erected around the entire structure, covering it from top to bottom, while the attraction remains open for guests to ride.
Disney has not provided a timeline for the completion of the work, but it appears that the refurbishment is an ongoing effort to maintain the hotel's exterior and overall appearance. The original 1939 building was designed by architect Carlton Moss, and its unique Art Deco style has been praised for its theming and architecture.
Some fans have expressed their opinions on social media, with some calling for a more substantial interior refurbishment and others hoping to see the original lightning strike mark restored. However, it's worth noting that the attraction's drop profiles have been modified since 2018, and there have been issues with audio playback in recent years.
