Disney's Hollywood Studios

This guide to Disney's Hollywood Studios traces the corporate race that built it: when rival Universal began planning its own working-studio park nearby, Disney chairman Michael Eisner pushed construction into overdrive to open first. It follows opening day, May 1, 1989, when families lined up before dawn for a park with only two finished attractions, and the celebrities, including Bob Hope, who showed up anyway. Listen for what greeted guests walking down Hollywood Boulevard that first morning.
