Disney’s Hollywood Studios to Celebrate 35th Anniversary

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is celebrating their 35th anniversary in a big way! See what is in store for this special day.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Disney’s Hollywood Studios opened on May 1, 1989. The park initially opened to recognize Hollywood’s Golden age and recognize film and entertainment. It has come a long way throughout the years as new lands have been opened, such as Toy Story Land and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

Guests can see many references to Hollywood in their shops, buildings and restaurants. You can even see some hand prints of some Hollywood stars in the ground in front of the Chinese Theatre. It is definitely worth the look!

Anniversary Celebration

Disney’s Hollywood Studios will mark the 35th anniversary on May 1, 2024. A celebration will take place with park representatives and characters at the Theater of the Stars on Wednesday, May 1st at 11:00 a.m.

The Beauty and the Beast – Live Stage production will not take place on this day due to the celebration.

No further details have been given at this time, but more details are expected to be released as we get closer to the date.

Virtual Queue

During the day, guests will have a chance to purchase limited-edition apparel, collectibles and pins to celebrate the anniversary. Guests can visit the Stage 1 Company Store on Grand Avenue near Muppet Vision 3D. This location has remained closed since the parks reopened in 2020.

A Virtual Queue system will be used to purchase anniversary merchandise on May 1, 2024 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Guests must have valid theme park admission and a reservation to join the queue. The virtual queue will open at 7 a.m. ET on May 1, 2024. Guests do not need to be present inside the park to join.
