RESTAURANT GUIDE

Disney's Hollywood Studios is a theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando. It is owned and operated by The Walt Disney Company through its Parks, Experiences and Products division. Based on a concept by Marty Sklar, Randy Bright, and Michael Eisner, the park opened on May 1, 1989, as the Disney-MGM Studios (Theme) Park, and was the third of four theme parks built at Walt Disney World. Spanning 135 acres (55 ha), the park is dedicated to the imagined worlds from film, television, music, and theatre, drawing inspiration from the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Disney's Hollywood Studios was initially developed as both a theme park inspired by show business and an operating production studio, with active film and television production services, an animation facility branch and a functioning backlot. Construction on the combined park and studio began in 1987, but was accelerated when the construction of the similarly-themed Universal Studios Florida began a few miles away. To increase public interest and the variety of film representation within the park, Disney entered into a licensing agreement with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, where the park's original name was derived. The park's production facilities were removed throughout the 2000s, and many of the park's soundstages were retrofitted for newer attractions and guest use. The park's current name took effect in 2008, with the removal of the MGM-branding throughout the park. In the 2010s, the park began to distance itself from the original studio backlot intention and entered a new direction of immersive theming and attraction development inspired by Hollywood stories.

The park's icon was originally the Earffel Tower from the park's opening until 2001 when the Sorcerer's Hat—a stylized version of the magical hat from Fantasia—was erected in the park's central hub. It then served as the park's icon until its removal in January 2015. In 2018, the park hosted 11.258 million guests, ranking it the fifth most-visited theme park in North America and the ninth most-visited theme park in the world.

Excellent pacing on this guide, I felt that I was getting just the right amount of information every time. Thanks for making it fascinating!

[alwaysplanningdisney]

I appreciate these videos. I have a very nervous non-riding son who needs a clear overview of every possible ride and attraction before we go to Disney in 2023. We can start here and then do full ride-thrus if needed - M

[eamoncondon]

I miss that GIANT Mickey Hat they used to have in the center of the park💯

[WDWBound]

Another great video, my friend. Hollywood Studios has a lot more than people realize. I'm still quite partial to Tower of Terror myself!

[GalexyGamer]

Im a vip kid at indiana jones, I know all the bts, the people, and ive also been behind the scenes, in the truck and at the idol. Its such a great place!!!

[mattpatti]

Never realized there was so much here…kinda worried I won’t be able to do it all in one day (we only have one day at the park, coming up in February). But I’m fine skipping the shows if I need to. Just hope I get on all the rides.

[lianelayman]

I miss some of the old things in the park but I still can't wait to go in Oct. I sure hope Fantasmic comes back by Oct. 17.

[kathryn.gardner.counseling]

Great video! Very helpful, brief and gives us an overview of the park! We can't wait for our trip!!

[InfectiousGroovePodcast]

We're going to Hollywood Studios in the first week of January. It'll be our first time at a Disney part in at least 10 years. These videos are SO helpful in planning exactly what we want to do. Thank you!

Thank you!! Just went to magic kingdom Saturday, going here after sea world

[maureenbonney]

Excellent! Just played three videos of this gentleman (Magic Kingdom, Hollywood and Animal Kingdom) for the kids to get the psyched up for Disney and to see what some of the rides entailed. It was a great summary, for a child who had never been there and for the adults who had.

[kelrryoliveira]

Amazing video! Cant wait for Fantasmic to return!

[henrygass]

Would love to see Disney bring back Mulch Sweat and Shears

[ThemeParkAvenue]
