Disney Hollywood Studios, previously known as Disney MGM Studios opened May 1st 1989 and is Disney's version of Hollywood! It is a combination of a theme park and a working TV and film production studio.

Disney Hollywood Studios has a great combination of film sets, rides and spectacular shows, including the "not to be missed" Fantasmic! In fact some of Disney's most popular thrill rides, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and The Tower of Terror are to be found here.

As part of Disney's spectacular Christmas celebrations the incredible Osborne Family Spectacle of Lights are switched on each evening for guests to wander around. They are truly amazing and Disney even manages to get it to snow!
