Disney's Hollywood Studios, Theme park in Bay Lake, Florida
Description
Disney's Hollywood Studios is a theme park in Bay Lake, Florida, spanning around 135 acres and filled with recreated sets from movies, television, and theater. The grounds are divided into themed zones that range from Hollywood streetscapes to detailed replicas of film locations.
History
The park opened in 1989 as Disney-MGM Studios, originally combining entertainment with working film production facilities. By the 2000s the production operations were shut down, and the site was fully converted into a visitor-focused attraction.
Culture
Families wander through recreated film environments like Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and Toy Story Land, stepping into scenes from well-known movies. Guests spend their day riding attractions, watching live performances, and meeting characters from the films they grew up with.
Practical
The park features dining options, shops, wheelchair access, and outdoor parking, opening from morning until evening depending on the season. Visitors can check the website beforehand for daily hours and access details for individual attractions.
