Grand Lofts Call Box Reportedly Returns to Hollywood Studios

Published September 26, 2026

According to reports, the interactive apartment call box at the Grand Lofts building has returned to Grand Avenue in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The prop, which was removed earlier in the week, reportedly reappeared as of Friday, September 25, with an expanded directory featuring over 80 names.

Prior to its brief disappearance, the call box served as a thematic interactive element for guests passing through the area. The updated version reportedly retains this interactivity while significantly increasing the number of names listed on the directory.

What we know

What’s not confirmed

Disney has not officially announced the return of the prop or provided details on the specific new names added to the directory.

What it means for your trip

This is a minor thematic update that will not impact wait times, Lightning Lane strategies, or your overall park itinerary. However, Disney’s Hollywood Studios can be a deceptively exhausting park, packed with intense, high-demand attractions and heavy crowds. Taking a few minutes to explore the quieter corners of Grand Avenue—like checking out the updated call box—is a smart way to step away from the rush. If you are grabbing a snack at BaseLine Tap House or taking a breather before heading into Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, it is a fun atmospheric detail to inspect. Otherwise, there is no need to re-route your day to see it.
