Disney-Hollywood Studios, which opened in 1989, has been transformed into the
Gateway to the 100 Years of Magic Celebration, the centerpiece of which is a
huge 120-foot Sorcerer Mickey hat, built at the very end of the entry plaza,
outside the Great Movie Ride attraction.
A
working studios, Disney-Hollywood is themed to resemble Hollywood in the 1930's, even
down to the Hollywood Towers Hotel, which towers more than 190 feet above the
park.
Disney-Hollywood Studios isn't as large as the Magic Kingdom or EPCOT, and like
the Disney's Animal Kingdom, it can't be reached by the Disney Monorail.
However it is
still worth allocating a full day to see the park's many attractions, which
include musical productions Voyage of the Little Mermaid and the
Beauty and the Beast at the Theatre of the Stars.
Jim Henson's Muppet Vision 4-D is a 25-minute show which starts harmlessly
enough, but is full of traditional Muppet antics and a grand finale worth dieing
for!
The Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular takes you behind the
scenes to see how some of the classic Hollywood stunts are performed.
The Backlot tour takes 35 minutes to complete and takes you through some of the
original sets and props used in many classic Disney productions, culminating
with a trip through Catastrophe Canyon.
The animation tour takes you through a real working animation studio where
Disney animators can be seen putting finishing touches to a forthcoming Disney
animated feature.
As with the Magic Kingdom, many of the well-known Disney characters are on-hand
throughout the day signing autographs and posing for family photographs.
