Disney’s Hollywood
There are few partnerships as fully entertaining as Disney and Hollywood. Movies are probably the most popular entertainment medium in our century, and they are a wonderful showcase for the kind of innovation and creativity Disney wants to inspire in us all. The building of Disney’s Hollywood Studios was inevitable in light of that. And it’s one of the more popular choices for Orlando student tours.
Michael Eisner’s words at the dedication speech for Disney MGM, which eventually became Disney’s Hollywood Studios, is one of my favorite quotes of all time. He dedicated the park to Hollywood, which he described as, “Not a place on a map, but a state of mind that exists wherever people dream and wonder and imagine.” Disney’s Hollywood Studios is filled with attractions to celebrate that Hollywood spirit.
Disney fans will love the live action theaters that bring to life your favorite animated films, including Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid. To showcase the stunts and special effects at which Hollywood excels, the park created Lights, Motor, Action – a thrilling, high-octane stunt show. The Great Movie Ride slows things down a bit, giving you a tour through Hollywood history, celebrating several of its classic films. You can also take a back lot tour through the Disney studios themselves and maybe even catch a glimpse of some of your favorite stars.
One of the most popular attractions in the park is the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. The ride begins relaxing enough through the Twilight Zone’s mysterious mansion, but your abrupt and surprising exit from it is the part that produces the terror. It’s the most popular thrill in the park, and you’re sure to love it too.
Besides all these, you can experience exciting attractions based on Star Wars, Indiana Jones, the Muppets, and much, much more. You’ll find gifts in the shopping district you can hardly resist. And you’ll love every minute of your stay in this fantastic movie world: Disney’s Hollywood.
