The Writer's Stop at Disney's Hollywood Studios

By: Nick

Back in a quiet corner of Disney's Hollywood Studios is one of our favorite spots in all of Walt Disney World.

The Writer's Stop is located next to the Sci-Fi Dine In Theater Restaurant.


Doing some research, I've discovered that this was originally built to resemble the set of the  bookstore in Ellen DeGeneres' sitcom Ellen, which was named "Buy the Book," which is why you will find many items, such as the ceiling lights, that convey a TV set atmosphere.


The Writer's Stop is a small bookstore, cafe, and gift shop all in one. 

You'll find many of the prepackaged goodies you can find at many other gift stores throughout Disney property here.


In the center of the store you'll find comfy seats, a television playing Disney related programs, Disney themed games, a good selection of DVDs, Blu-rays, and books.

The book selection is pretty terrific; appealing to a wide audience, representing many of the Disney owned properties and assorted attractions, such as The Twilight Zone, that you'll find at the Studios, as well as books about Walt Disney, Disney art, and children's books.


Proceeding to the back, you'll find an even more eclectic book selection, including best sellers and biographies, among others. You'll also find tables and and more seating.

 

This cozy area is also where you'll find kitchen items displayed beautifully: mugs and tea and biscuits that you'll find at other stores as well.



They also offer a wide selection of drinks, including coffees, teas, espresso, cappuccinos, waters, juices and sodas.


Lastly, but certainly not least, are thr bakery items, such as bagels, muffins, pastries and cookies, including one of my favorite snacks in the World, the Carrot Cake Cookie.



As far as I'm aware, The Writer's Stop is the only place on Disney property to get the Carrot Cake Cookie.


It's approximately the size of my head, but I have NO trouble finishing it off myself, but you may want to share it with a friend or 3!

  1. I didn't know the Writer's Stop was designed after anything, great facts! I also adore the Carrot Cake Cookie...and refuse to share!

  2. Nick has a hard time parting with any of his either, Tink, because I love the gingerbread "mice" and always get
    them instead of my own carrot cake cookie!

  3. I do love a nice break in the Writer's Stop.

    If you want to get a treat before going to the Osborne Christmas Lights - be prepared for a long wait! It is right by the Streets of America and the line up gets to be quite long.
