Holidays are in full swing at Disney's Hollywood Studios, but COVID-19 mitigation measures mean no Jingle Bell! Jingle Bam! or Sunset Seasons Greetings this year.

Hollywood Holiday Tower Hotel makes use of the projectors that were installed for Sunset Seasons Greetings, displaying some festive scenes on the front of the Hollywood Tower Hotel.

There are four different scenes, including a Muppets gingerbread house, a Toy Story hotel, a snowy corner of Arendelle and a Dickensian village inspired by “Mickey’s Christmas Carol.”

Much like the Cinderella Castle holiday projections at Magic Kingdom, the Studios version is low key, with no music or any of the synchronized lights along Sunset Blvd that were part of Sunset Seasons greetings.

You can catch the projections from sunset through to park close each day.

Social distancing was a problem in only 1 line. The family behind us at ROTR was all over us. A dad and 3 kids and dad didn’t seem to care. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good to hear. It’s weird not being there... I’m always at WDW for New Years!

Just left the Studios. Got in 7 rides in just over 7 hours with lunch and some shopping mixed in. Crowds were about what I expected for NYE. Mask compliance was exceptional! Going back after dinner.

Yup! It's likely due to the COVID restrictions that limit capacity.

My first time not being at Disney for New Years since 2004!

Not happening. Just like Universal and Disney could have increased capacity just for one day (today)

jrhwdwDec 31, 2020

Yes! MOUCAT Cavalcades today! At least Santa anyway!
