PARK FACTS

Disney's Hollywood Studios has nearly doubled in size since opening day in 1989. It continues to expand with all-new thrilling attractions, Broadway-style shows and backstage glimpses.

Some of the many television shows which have taped at Disney-MGM Studios include: "ER," "Full House," "Wheel of Fortune," "Thunder in Paradise," "Miss Collegiate African American Pageant" and "ESPN College Football Awards."

In the mid '80s, a greatly expanded production schedule for the Walt Disney Company demanded more facilities. Rather than buy expensive land in California, the company realized it had plenty of land in Florida and the opportunity to combine its new production facilities with a chance for Walt Disney World guests to see behind the scenes of movie and television production.

Disney's Hollywood Studios was originally called Disney-MGM Studios. The name changed in January 2008.
