From 1989 to today, every day at Disneyโs Hollywood Studios has been an adventure. As we roll out the red carpet and prepare to celebrate 35 years of action at this ever-evolving theme park, I asked my fellow cast members to walk down memory lane with me. Here are some of their favorite Disney Cast Life moments from the last few decades. โฏ
Since the dazzling debut of Disney-MGM Studios May 1, 1989 every moment has been filled with endless magic and adventure. Envisioned as a tribute to the golden age of Hollywood, we welcomed guests to step into the spotlight and experience the thrills of show business. Cast members on the opening team look back fondly on memories from the early years of the park!
โI loved witnessing celebrities place their hands in the cement in front of The Chinese Theatre, especially Dick VanDyke! Thereโs nothing that compares to working here, my heart has belonged to Disneyโs Hollywood Studios for 35 years!โ โ Ricardo, Disneyโs Hollywood Studiosโฏ
In the 90s, Disney-MGM Studios was home to the creation of hit Walt Disney Feature Pictures like โAladdin,โ โMulanโ and more while continuing to expand with all new attractions and experiences.
By the new millennium three new thrills became the stars of Sunset Boulevard, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Rock โnโ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith and my personal favorite, Fantasmic!
โOne of my earliest memories of the Studios was meeting Chip and Dale in front of the Chinese Theatre. Itโs super special because now I get to hang out with the chipmunks in Fantasmic! 26 years later!โ โ Alyssa, Disneyโs Hollywood Studiosโฏ
Over the years, Disneyโs Hollywood Studios has undergone several transformations, each one adding new layers of excitement and adventure and the 2000s were no different, from stunt shows to block parties and everything in between.
โSince my first visit to Disneyโs Hollywood Studios was in 2006, Iโve been hooked on the magic of the park and now I get to share that same magic with guests. I couldnโt be happier to live my dream at Disneyโs Hollywood Studios every day!โ โ Rachel, Disneyโs Hollywood Studiosโฏ
From Batuu to Andyโs backyard, the 2010s gave us the chance to live all new adventures. Walking into these new lands for the first time before opening them to guests is an experience Iโll truly never forget! Disneyโs Hollywood Studios has made it possible to get swept away to a galaxy far, far away and shrink down to toy size all in the same day!
โWatching my daughters play with the stories and characters at the Studios has been so fun- with unique meet and greets with everyone from Olaf to Green Army Men to BB-8. We canโt wait to see whatโs next!โ โ Lori, Public Affairs โฏโฏ
Nothing can stop us now! From 1989 to today we are still celebrating countless adventures and the cast members that help bring them to life at Disneyโs Hollywood Studios and beyond.
โA huge highlight for me was working with a team at Hollywood Studios that was supportive of my career development while I was working toward my masterโs degree with Disney Aspire. I look back knowing that Studios made my dreams a reality and led me to where I am today.โ โ Rachel, Organizational Management โฏ
These stories are the reasons I love Disneyโs Hollywood Studios. From the very beginning, weโve been bringing pop culture, trends and thrills to life. And weโre not done yet! With exciting things ahead, including new experiences recently added to Star Tours โ The Adventures Continue, an upcoming limited-time summer activation with โInside Out 2,โ and the all-new Little Mermaid: A Musical Adventure coming this fall, the magic is full-speed ahead.โฏ
