Walt Disney first had the idea for a park based on the movies more than 40 years ago, but it wasn’t until May 1989 that the Walt Disney Company unveiled the Disney-MGM Studios, where guests of Walt Disney World could witness the inner workings of living, breathing movie and television production facilities. Hollywood Studios is often described as a half-day park because of its size and show-based attractions, but the Studios hold three of the most popular rides at Walt Disney World. The Disney properties are always kept so clean! Most of the cast stay in character making the experience so much more for the entire family. You never see the same things each time you go since they change things up so often.
