A day at the Disney-MGM Studios is like starring in a Comedy-Thriller-Action-Adventure.

You’ll know you’re in the land of big dreams and larger-than-like Characters when you spot the spectacular, 12-story Sorcerer Mickey hat.

Extreme thrills take center stage as the new “Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show” comes roaring to life. Engines rev, tires screech and adrenaline kicks into overdrive as the high-octane live stunt spectacular amazes with a behind-the-scenes look at how action stunts are created for the movies.

The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Mary Poppins, Mulan and a star-studded array of other Disney Characters wave to their adoring fans from a classic Hollywood motorcade called – what else?- the new Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade! It’s a sure bet there’ll be guest appearances by Mickey and friends, Bear in the Big Blue House™ and the Playhouse Disney gang.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire – Play It!* is an attraction that gives you the chance to win your way into the Hot Seat at an exact replica of the high tech New York set, while the entire audience plays along on individual keypads. Final answer? Sweaty palms and plenty of laughter. Just down the street, more sweaty palms and lots of screams can be found at The Twighlight Zone Tower of Terror.™ There’s no telling how many times riders will be going up or down those frightful 13 stories. Fantasmic! is a nighttime extravaganza that combines lasers, pyrotechnics, animation and special effects, all synchronized to favorite Disney melodies. It’s thrilling to watch the world’s most famous Mouse foil a 50-foot, fire-breathing dragon. For those who can’t get their fill of thrills, Rock’n’Roller Coaster® Starring Aerosmith is a twisitn’, turnin’, loopin’ ride that’ll get you’re adrenaline pumpin’ and have ‘em begging for more! Or jump to light speed in a runaway star speeder on Star Tours.

Young and old alike are sure to be enchanted by Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage! Travel under the sea with Ariel, Sebastian and Flounder on a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience in the Voyage of the Little Mermaid.

There’s nothing like showbiz and there’s nothing like the Disney-MGM Studios!
