List of Disney's Hollywood Studios attractions
Disney's Hollywood Studios is a theme park located at the Walt Disney World Resort. Major attractions are listed below.
The Sorcerer's Hat, the former icon of Disney's Hollywood Studios, at the end of Hollywood Boulevard
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.
