Disney's Hollywood Studios is a theme park located at the Walt Disney World Resort. Major attractions are listed below.
Hollywood Boulevard Hollywood Boulevard is lined with shops selling Disney merchandise and food. While parades are a major attraction today, the area was not originally built to handle parades, and an appropriate sound system and other facilities had to be retrofitted after initial construction. Michael Eisner, who had a major part in the park's creation ever since the earliest development, wanted the opening land to operate on the same principle as Main Street, U.S.A. — a street lined with shops and food, but in a style more fitting to Hollywood.
Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, a trackless dark ride, which inside the park's Chinese Theatre, based on the Mickey Mouse animated shorts, as well as the first Mickey Mouse-themed ride-through attraction in the history of Disney theme parks.
