Disney's Hollywood Studios

Disney's Hollywood Studios is the third theme park built at the Walt Disney World Resort. Spanning 135 acres (546,000 m²) in size, its theme is show business, drawing inspiration from the heyday of Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s. It opened on May 1, 1989 as Disney-MGM Studios. In 2007, the park hosted approximately 9.51 million guests, ranking it the fourth-most visited amusement park in the United States, and seventh-most visited in the world.

The park consists of six themed areas. Unlike the other Walt Disney World parks, the Disney's Hollywood Studios does not have a defined layout; it is more a mass of streets and buildings that blend into each other, much like a real motion picture studio would. The layout of the park, however, did have an interesting design characteristic. If you look at an older version of a Disney's Hollywood Studios map and turn it upside down (or look at an old aerial photo oriented due north), you will see a Hidden Mickey in the overall layout of the park. Recent construction and changes to the park have eliminated much of this image.
