Disney World Narrative--Hollywood Studios

Write a narrative in the second person guiding your reader on a tour through a park of your choice.


If you ever wanted to visit the Walt Disney World Theme park, Hollywood Studios, I suggest going there with me. I could show you around the entire park with my eyes closed, and if you want I could tell you about it now. You do? Well then you start by going to the entrance on the right you will see 4 foot high mint green walls with silver frames, inside the frames our pictures of three of the attractions that are at Hollywood studios, Toy Story Mania, the American Idol Experience, and Star tours, on the left is the same but with different attractions, The Lights, Motors, Action show, Rockin’ Rollercoaster, and Fantasia. Then you walk up to the silver ticket machines and you are officially in the park.

Member Services is on your left and a “car” “wash” is on your right, from here you can see a tall silver monument with Mickey mouse on the top spinning around. Right next to that on your left is the restaurant Hollywood and Vine which is a marvelous place to go if you were around Echo Lake, Right next to it is the 50’s Prime Time TV diner where the waiters, and waitresses act like 50’s moms, and you get to watch 50’s television at your table. After you exit the diner if you look straight ahead you will see the Dinosaur Ice cream shack, and the dockside Diner on Echo Lake. If you walk straight down the street you will come to the Indiana Jones Stunt Show which is a fabulous interactive little show about stunt work, that I definitely recommend if you want to see adventure, stunt work, and a little bit of comedy!

 

Then there is the backlot Express which is an all-round American food counter service restaurant which is great for a quick snack. After that you will see a large animal like contraption that is the entry-way to a very popular attraction, that is now new and improved, the famous, “Star Tours” Which is a thrilling, Star Wars based flight simulator. There are over 50 different adventures on Star Tours and every time is a different one!

 

After you go past Tatooine Traders, you’ll find yourself on the famous streets of America, if you look to your left, you’ll see the city backdrop of New York, and if you look straight ahead, you’ll see San Francisco. If you walk toward San Francisco on your left will be “Muppet Vision 3D” Which is a movie featuring and starring the Muppets! It is a great show and you even get to see some of your favorite Muppets up close, some even run through the audience! Directly to your right from the Muppet vision you will be at the Honey I shrunk the Kids Movie Set Playground Adventure. These are reproductions of actual props from the movie, “Honey I shrunk the kids” Over behind “Honey I shrunk the kids playground are mama Melrose’s Italian Restaurant and Pizza Planet. Now from Pizza Planet, If you look straight ahead, you will see a giant coke bottle and a big red bus shoved halfway through a building this is the studio backlot tour, this is a fun adventure where you get to see props from many famous movies including, “Pirates of the Caribbean” The Muppet Movie” and many more classic movies, and some volunteer guests get to act out scenes and create a movie their selves!

 

From here we move on to commissary lane where the entrance to the American idol Experience is, guest 14 and over get to live out their dreams on stage and sing for an audience and get feedback from the Disney judges, this is a once and a lifetime chance for many people so I definitely suggest trying it. However, if you don’t feel like you’re ready for that, you can always watch as members from the audience and cheer for your favorite singer! On your right is the ABC commissary which is a nice little restaurant with TV’s playing your favorite ABC shows. Now we have arrived in the middle of Hollywood at the big Sorcerer Mickey hat, this is the most famous icon of Hollywood studios standing at 192 feet, Mickey’s Sorcerer hat is the second tallest thing in the park. 

 

Just behind the Sorcerers hat you will see another iconic building, and inside this building lies the classic “Great Movie Ride” This ride takes you into the movies and you even get to see a little live theater! This 25 minute tour ride is great on a hot day when you want to sit down and relax and well, watch some movies! If you travel to your left from here on to Mickey Ave you will see the Animation courtyard, this is a real animation studio with classes teaching you how to draw your favorite Disney characters, and even creating characters yourself! Next to the Animation courtyard is the Little Mermaid show which is another great show for the little ones! From here if you travel towards Pixar Place to your right will be “One Man’s dream” a movie about Walt Disney and his life as well as future plans for Disney World. After this is the Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow an interactive 4D Pirate show. Now we head on into Pixar Place, where many of your favorite Toy Story characters lurk! And to your right once again is Toy Story Mania, the Carnival like game and the 2nd most popular ride in all of Walt Disney world. Ring Toss with Buzz and Aliens, Root, Toot, and Shoot with Woody and Jessie, and try to get the best score in your vehicle!

 
When you exit from Toy Story Mania you can walk straight on to Sunset Boulevard, where you will get a view of the tallest building in Hollywood Studios, The Hollywood Tower Hotel, or better known as, “The Tower of Terror!” When you walk in to this ride you will see indications that this is definitely an old abandoned Hollywood hotel, but you will continue on where the bellboys will lead you on an elevator that will take you beyond the fifth this thrilling elevator ride it is definitely worth it because the drop sequences are different every time dimension, to the thirteenth floor, and into, the Twilight Zone! If you dare to take the plunge onto you ride it and it is definitely worth the chills and anticipation. When you exit tower of terror, if you look to your left you will see a big red and white electric guitar with an upside down car hanging off of its neck, this is another favorite to guest going to Hollywood Studios, Rockin’ Roller coaster starring Aerosmith. When you enter this thrilling ride it seems like a recording studio…that’s because it is! And when Aerosmith sees you, they give you VIP tickets and backstage passes to their show, but since it starts in a couple of minutes, their manager gives you a super stretch super fast limo. The launch goes from 0-60 and features a loop, a corkscrew and many thrilling drops. Now if you are looking for a great show…I suggest Fantasmic and soar the powers of imagination with Mickey! The park closes now so I hope you have enjoyed your time with me here at Hollywood Studios and cone back again soon J
