Holloywood Studios is a working movie and television studio theme park. So for those interested in the history and technology of the movies or those who just want to be entertained Hollywood Studios should have something for everyone.

Essentially divided into two sections. The front of the park is a theme park much like the Magic Kingdom with open access to guests. The rear of the park is the "backlot", with its working sound stages, wardrobe shops and animation studios. Here access is limited to guided tours that are conducted by either walking or by tram.

Hollywood Boulevard - With its art deco architecture this is the "Main Street" of Disney-MGM Studios. It is designed to look like a recreation of Hollywood during the 1920's and 30's. All along the palm lined street guests will find a mix of merchandise shops and eateries.

Animal Kingdom

This 500-acre theme park is the largest of the Walt Disney World theme parks, however it is not size alone that sets it apart from the others. Lush landscaping, winding paths, beautiful gardens, mysterious and exotic architecture and over a 1,000 animals all give guests the sense that you have entered more than just another theme park.

The Animal Kingdom opened in April of 1998 to some disapproval, controversy and even debate over whether a zoo no matter how non-traditional in design was worthy of Disney. Those initial criticisms have in part faded due to the collaborative efforts of Disney Imagineers along with some of the premiere zoological talent in the country who have turned out not only some unique and enjoyable attractions, but also some first class natural animal habitat exhibits.

Typhoon Lagoon

Disney legend has it that a furious storm once roared across the sea, hurling surfboards into trees, blowing small boats through roofs and impaling a shrimp boat on a peak of a great volcanic mountain. Left in the typhoon's wake are twisting tides, roaring rapids, wonderful waterways and relaxing rivers. Whether you are navigating the nine exhilarating waterslides and streams or conquering one of the world's largest artificially created waves, Typhoon Lagoon promises the most wild, wonderful and wet water adventure known to man or fish.

Disney legend has it that after a freak winter storm blanketed the area with snow, Florida's first ski resort was born. When temperatures returned to normal, the powdery snow turned to slippery slush. Slalom courses, bobsled and toboggan runs became downhill waterslides. The chair lift carried swimmers instead of skiers. The ski jump became the tallest, fastest water slide in the nation. An excellent water park to visit with a variety of water rides areas for all ages and abilities.
