Disney's Hollywood Studios(formerly known as Disney-MGM Studios) is a theme park in the Walt Disney World Resort, Florida, USA. It opened on May 1, 1989. 135 acres (546,000 m²) in size, the park's theme is Hollywood classic movies and popular TV entertainment.
The only affiliation that MGM had to the Disney park is via contracts -- contracts that allowed Disney to use the MGM name and lion logo in marketing, and separate contracts that allowed for specific MGM content to be used in a ride called The Great Movie Ride. However, rights for the entire pre-1976 MGM library were puchased by Ted Turner to create Turner Network Television and later, Turner Classic Movies, which in turn has become part of Time Warner. As of January 7, 2008, the park will be rebranded "Disney's Hollywood Studios" with the official announcement made on August 9, 2007 by Disney officials.
