Two changes are underway at Disney-MGM Studios... First, construction on Toy Story Mania in the old studio that housed "Who Wants to be a Millionaire: Play It" has spread onto Mickey Avenue. That's the walkway from the Studio Catering Company on the north to Journey into Narnia and One Man's Dream on the south.
That section of Mickey Avenue is now closed due to the construction for Toy Story Mania. For the foreseeable future, you're going to have to walk down Commissary Lane to get to the back of the park. Commissary Lane is narrower, so expect it to feel a bit more crowded.
Second, Jedi Academy was apparently so popular during Star Wars Weekends that the Disney folks are adding a permanent stage to host this show year round. The Orlando Sentinel tourism blog has reported that plans for the stage call for a large covered patio in front of the Star Tours attraction at the end of Commissary Lane. The show is expected to open this fall, with up to eight shows daily.
Because of the attention that this new show will bring to Star Tours, there might be an increase number of people riding and - naturally - an increase in waiting time. Be sure to use FASTPASS if waiting time get longer than 30 minutes. Check Page 12 in the EZ Fun Guide for details on using FASTPASS.
May the Force be with you...
