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 MGM 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.
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."
MGM-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.
