Disney’s Hollywood Studios, opened on May 1, 1989, as Disney–MGM Studios Theme Park, became Walt Disney World’s third theme park and began as both a visitor attraction and a working production facility. Inspired by an idealized Hollywood and the worlds of film, television, music, and theatre, it reflected Michael Eisner’s push for a full entertainment-focused park, with Marty Sklar and Randy Bright helping shape it. In its early years it expanded with major attractions and contributed to Disney animation, but over the 2000s and 2010s its studio functions were dismantled. Renamed in 2008, it evolved into a park centered on immersive story worlds rather than moviemaking.
