Disney’s Hollywood Studios officially opened 25 years ago today bringing a taste of Hollywood to Central Florida. Over the years its allure has perhaps dimmed; however, there are still some hidden gems present just waiting to be discovered by the adventurous guest.

My goal is to provide a resource for those interested in exploring the past and current Disney Studios by posting primary source materials [project proposal, opening materials, press photos, park literature & promotional items, park maps, and other items] and also providing suggestions on how to tour Hollywood Studios as the park currently stands.

“The World you have entered was created by The Walt Disney Company and is dedicated to Hollywood- not a place on a map, but a state of mind that exists wherever people dream and wonder and imagine, a place where illusion and reality are fused by technological magic. We welcome you to a Hollywood that never was- and always will be.”

Michael Eisner [May 1, 1989]


This is definitely a work in progress; so please pardon the pixie dust.
 

This promotional brochure presents a nice overview of the attractions that were open during the first couple years of the park's operation. This brochure has a rare reference to the short lived 'Here Come The Muppets' stage show. The show was 'replaced' by Muppet Vision 3D, though the actual space where 'Here Come The Muppets' was staged would become 'The Voyage of The Little Mermaid' stage show. Other extinct attractions also pictured include the 'Superstar Television' attraction and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Meet'n'Greet.





























What attractions, if any, would you want to see brought back to Hollywood Studios?
 
I'd want honey I shrunk the kids back. That was my favorite 3D film.
