Hollywood Boulevard is the first land guests set foot in
while in Disney's Hollywood Studios. Hollywood Boulevard,
much like Main Street, USA in the Magic Kingdom is the home
of numerous shops.
At the end of the street you can find the park icon, the
Sorcerer's Hat! Behind the Sorcerer's Hat is a replica of
Grauman's Chinese Theatre which is home to the parks
signature attraction, The Great Movie Ride.
While The Great Movie Ride opened with the park on May 1,
1989, the Sorcerer's Hat that sits at the end of the street
didn't arrive until September of 2001.
In addition to The Great Movie Ride, guests can also watch
the stage show, High School Musical 3: Senior Year - Right
Here! Right Now! and have a great spot for watching the
daily block party, Pixar's Block Party Bash!
Fun Facts: Before the Sorcerer's Hat was
added to the end of the street the park icon was the Earful
Tower, a 163 foot tall water tower that can be found in the
Backlot portion of the park.
The Sorcerer's hat would eventually cover up one of the
largest, if not THE largest, Hidden Mickey in Walt Disney
World. The face of Mickey was made up of the plaza where the
Sorcerer's Hat now sits, while Echo Lake and part of Sunset
Boulevard made up Mickey's ears.
Touring Tips: The shops on Hollywood
Boulevard are open a little after the park closes down, so
if you still feel the need to shop at the end of the day,
you can!
