Even though it’s no longer MGM Studios, Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World remains one of the premier theme park destinations in the world and a must-visit vacation destination.
Hollywood Studios is the third theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake near Orlando, Florida, USA. Its theme is based on the Golden Age of Hollywood of the 1920s and 30s.
The official Hollywood Studios address is 351 S Studio Dr, Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830. When looking at a map of Walt Disney World, Hollywood Studios is close to the middle of the property.
Disney entered into a partner relationship and licensing agreement with production company Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in order to increase credibility in the film industry.
As far as park icons, when MGM Studios opened, the Earful Tower was the park’s symbol. That changed in 2001 when the Sorcerer’s Hat became the park icon, until 2015 when it was taken down.
In recent years, Hollywood Studios has become the most-crowded park in Walt Disney World due to the extreme popularity of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, and more.
