Disney's Hollywood Studios

"The world you have entered was created by the Walt Disney Company & is dedicated to Hollywood - not a place on a map, but a state of mind…” Disney's-Hollywood Studios Dedication

Disney's Hollywood Studios Map


Disney's Hollywood Studios is a freestanding theme park more closely situated to Epcot and Downtown Disney than the Magic Kingdom. By Disney’s definition it is a working movie and television studio theme park. For a description of what a working movie and television studio theme park is let’s reach back to perhaps more familiar ground. Disney's Hollywood Studios can be described as having drawn the best of Epcot, that is experiencing education and learning, and combined it with the magic and excitement of the Magic Kingdom. So for those interested in the history and technology of the movies or those who just want to be entertained Disney's Hollywood Studios should have something for everyone.


Currently Disney's Hollywood Studios is the center of gravity for the 100 Years of Magic Celebration at Walt Disney World. This is a 15-month long celebration that marks the 100th anniversary of Walt Disney’s Birthday. To help mark Walt Disney’s 100th birthday the imaginers at Disney's Hollywood Studios have created and are now displaying the theme park's new icon, a giant Sorcerer’s Hat. This centerpiece of the park stands 122 foot tall and weighs 156 tons and is located at the end of Hollywood Boulevard in front of the Chinese Theater. It is designed to look like the hat worn by Mickey in the animated classic “Fantasia.”

Excuse me but can you tell me how to get to…?

Disney's Hollywood Studios is essentially divided into two sections. The front of the park is a theme park much like the Magic Kingdom with open access to guests. The rear of the park is the “backlot”, with its working sound stages, wardrobe shops and animation studios. Here access is limited to guided tours that are conducted by either walking or by tram.

    Disney Trivia: In September 1964, Walt Disney received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Lyndon B. Johnson - a president who, ironically, never visited Disneyland.

    This attraction's priceless collection of more than 400 pieces of memorabilia arrived via FedEx Express from California on a dedicated Airbus A300 designated Spirit of Imagination. The coast-to-coast delivery took just a few hours.

    A self-educated man, Walt Disney attended just one year of high school.

    Walt Disney received his first and only story screen credit in the 1965 release "Lt. Robin Crusoe" as "Retlaw Yensid" - Walter Disney spelled backwards.
