The Disney MGM Studios - Where Disney Stars Are Made
If you're visiting Orlando, Florida, you probably have a trip to Universal Studios on your list, and therefore may decide to skip MGM Studios, however you may find that - especially if you have younger children - MGM is a better alternative as there are less attractions with height restrictions than Universal. Although there are a few more thrill-seeking rides, most of the MGM Studio park is at a more gentle pace making it a good destination for families, or those who are a little mobility impaired.
Upon entering the park, you'll be on Hollywood Boulevard. This is a place to shop merchandise of both a traditional souvenir nature, and also more limited edition collectors pieces, as well as find restaurants and other kinds of retail outlets. Walk to the bottom of the Boulevard however and you'll find the Great Movie Ride. Although the queue for this may be long, it does move quickly and the journey through well known movie scenes is well worth the wait.
Around the rest of the park there are shows such as the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular which shows how stunts are performed and re-enacts scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark, a car and motorcycle stunt show called Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show, and Fastasmic! A night-time show in the Hollywood Hills Amphitheater.
For the young, and young at heart, there's such things as the Jim Henson's Muppet Vision 3D show, the Little Mermaid show, the Honey I Shrunk the Kids playground, Beauty and the Beast show, and Playhouse Disney live on stage. Thrill seekers aren't forgotten completely however with the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and Aerosmith's indoor Rock ‘n' Roller Coaster.
With the Journey in Narnia, and the Disney-MGM Studios Backlot Tour, there's a great day of entertainment to be had at Disney's MGM Studios. If you love Disney, it's well worth a visit!
