Disney MGM Studios

The park consists of six themed areas. Unlike the other Walt Disney World parks, the Disney's Hollywood Studios does not have a defined layout; it is more a mass of streets and buildings that blend into each other, much like a real motion picture studio would.

Hollywood Boulevard

Hollywood Boulevard is lined with venues selling Disney merchandise and food. This is also the route of the daily Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade.

  • The Great Movie Ride, a dark ride paying homage to several classic films, including Casablanca and The Wizard of Oz. It is located at the end of Hollywood Boulevard.
  • A.T.A.S. Hall of Fame Plaza, which features busts of past and present icons of the television era, such as Oprah Winfrey and Walt Disney.
Echo Lake area

Echo Lake is one of the two bodies of water within the park, and is surrounded by attractions. Two snack stands reside along the lake: Min and Bill's Dockside Diner, inside an ocean-going tug boat; and Dinosaur Gertie's Ice Cream of Extinction, inside a large green dinosaur reminiscent of the animated Gertie the Dinosaur from the early days of motion pictures.

  • Star Tours, a motion simulator ride set in the Star Wars universe.
  • Jedi Training Academy, a live-action stage show where children are selected to become padawan learners and receive "lightsaber training" from a Jedi master.
  • Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!, a live-action performance showing how movie stunts are done.
  • Sounds Dangerous!, a 3-D audio presentation featuring comedian Drew Carey.
Streets of America

Formerly the "New York Street" set from the original studio tour, the set has been incorporated into the park. It has also been upgraded with additional set pieces representing San Francisco and Chicago.

  • Jim Henson's Muppet Vision 3D, a 3-D movie experience featuring Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and other Muppet characters.
  • Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show, a behind-the-scenes look at how vehicle action sequences are created for films, adapted from a similar show at Walt Disney Studios Paris.
  • Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure, an oversized playground based on the movie
  • Studio Backlot Tour, showing how movie special effects are created. Guests see a movie scene set on the Special Effects Water Tank filmed using volunteers from the audience and various special effects.
Mickey Avenue

Mickey Avenue runs adjacent to the old Soundstages 1, 2 and 3. It connects the Streets of America to the Animation Courtyard.

  • Walt Disney: One Man's Dream, a museum-like walkthrough attraction that explores the life of Walt Disney and his legacy
  • Journey Into Narnia, a walk-through interactive attraction featuring props from the movie series. The attraction is currently closed to add elements from the series' second film, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, and is expected to re-open soon after the film's release in May 2008.
  • The American Film Institute Showcase, a rotating exhibit of movie props and memorabilia.
  • Toy Story Mania!, an interactive attraction inspired by classic carnival midway games and featuring popular Pixar characters, will open in 2008.
Animation Courtyard

This section of the park originally was the starting point for the tours of the park's active production studios.

  • Voyage of The Little Mermaid, a live performance using puppets, lasers, movies, human actors, and water (mist) to re-create the animated Little Mermaid movie, in a condensed form.
  • The Magic of Disney Animation, a short presentation showing how animated films are made.
  • Playhouse Disney Live on Stage!, a live performance featuring puppet characters from the Playhouse Disney block of programming on The Disney Channel.
Sunset Boulevard

Sunset Boulevard was the first expansion to Disney's Hollywood Studios, opening in July 1994.

  • Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage, a stage show featuring highlights of the film.
  • Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, an indoor roller coaster in the dark with three inversions and a high-speed launch.
  • The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, a thrill ride that drops guests in an elevator in a randomized set of four sequences each involving multiple high-speed drops and ascents.
  • Fantasmic!, a nighttime show with characters and fireworks held in the adjacent Hollywood Hills Amphitheatre.
