Hollywood Studios (formerly MGM Studios).

Evoking the Golden Age of Hollywood, you are transported back in time from the moment that you approach the main gates. Art Deco is the prevailing style as you stroll down Hollywood Boulevard surrounded by sleek chrome trimmed architecture and neon highlights.

As a fitting tribute to the studios of the past, a water tower is prominently displayed. The "Earffel Tower" adds the distinctive Disney twist of sporting a pair of 5000 pound Mouse Ears.

Portions of the 135 acres that the Disney Hollywood Studios covers are devoted to television and movie production. The Backlot Tour is an exciting behind the scenes look into the world of special effects. You can watch Disney animators at work when taking the "Magic of Disney Animation" tour. Patterned after the popular TV show, "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire-Play It" gives you the opportunity to get in the Hot Seat and win fabulous prizes. Entertaining stage shows and productions such as "Beauty and the Beast", "Voyage of the Little Mermaid", "Playhouse Disney-Live On Stage" and the "Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular" are sure to delight and thrill audiences. Make sure to get your Disney Tickets at a discount to save over the gate price.

Speaking of thrills, the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and Star Tours provide fast paced rides for those who dare to try them. Take a nostalgic journey with some of Hollywood's favorite films in the Great Movie Ride. Join Kermit, Fozzie, Miss Piggy and friends in the madcap "Jim Henson's Muppet Vision 3-D". For a rare glimpse into the man behind the Mouse, "Walt Disney: One Man's Dream" is a fascinating exhibit of Walt's life and the path he followed to achieve his goal of creating the "Happiest Place On Earth."

Hollywood-Studios is home to the more recent Disney characters, as well as your old time favorites. Buzz, Woody, Jessie and other friends from Toy Story can be found at Al's Toy Barn. Along Mickey Avenue you may find your pals from Monsters, Inc., Lilo and Stitch, as well as 101 Dalmatians.

One noteworthy thing sponsored by the Hollywood Studios are specials events including Night of Joy,  Star Wars Weekends,  The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights, and ESPN The Weekend.  At select times of the year, fans can experience a Night of Joy featuring contemporary Christian music festival. Bedazzled as talented artists on stage give tribute to some of the hottest Christian music in the business.

Without exception, Hollywood Studios has something for all members of the family including the Star Wars Weekends. Many of the Star War characters will be coming from a distant galaxy to meet face to face with fans. As fans are signing autographs with celebrities, kids can do battle with Darth Vader polishing their skills with the amazing lightsaber.
