Overview

Lights, Camera, Hollywood!

The lights are dimmed, the stars are ready to shine...

You're on the set of your first big movie production: "Lights! Camera! Hollywood!", a starry-eyed tribute to Hollywood across the ages.

Stroll through a dazzling night-time movie set celebrating landmarks lifted from and inspired by Tinseltown's golden age. From a spectacular Egytian theatre to the unassuming writer's hang-out Schwabb's Pharmacy and the kitsch glitz of the Liki Tiki polynesian bar.

Past legendary, iconic Hollywood façades, the movie magic begins rolling frame-by-frame before your eyes.

Behind the sets on the left of the Disney Studio 1 interior, you'll find Legends of Hollywood boutique, whilst on the right the huge Restaurant en Coulisse, with a second mezzanine floor above. Toilets can be found behind Last Chance Gas.

Trivia & Fun Facts

Atmosphere! Atmosphere!

  • Stretching 70 metres long, 35 metres wide and 20 metres high, Disney Studio 1 would be the second-largest working soundstage in Europe if it were a real stage, beaten only by the world-famous "007 Stage" at Pinewood Studios in England.
  • Until just weeks before the park opened to the public in 2002, this indoor street attraction was due to be named "Lights! Camera! Hollywood!", and was advertised as such in all pre-opening publicity. However, perhaps sensing from preview crowds that this lengthy title would rarely be spoken, it was decided to instead take the studio's number as its name. Instead, "Lights! Camera! Hollywood!" remains as the name of the film in production inside the studio, as noted by details such as the 'L.C.H.' initials stamped on the back of set pieces.
  • The cartoon sketches displayed in the Brown Derby section of Restaurant en Coulisse are copies of the original drawings that were on display in the original Brown Derby in Hollywood. These include caricatures of Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Sammy Davis Jr., Ronald Reagan, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Cary Grant, Omar Sharif and many other stars.
  • Whilst you're enjoying the daily parades or street shows elsewhere in the park, their soundtracks and routes are being co-ordinated from right here inside the soundstage. The park's "Parade Central" control room is housed above the toilets, behind the Last Chance Gas façade, featuring huge computer systems, audio mixers and live video feeds from the park.
  • The interior of Disney Studio 1 becomes a glittering wonderland of lights during Christmas season, with thousands of extra lights, tinsel and decorations added on the ceiling, in the palm trees and right across the sets which line the street.
  • Is the front façade of Disney Studio 1 being refurbished? Not quite... After a huge billboard advertising the animated film Chicken Little was placed here in 2005, it was subsequently replaced with a Cars billboard in 2006. This advertisement, paid for by Disney's international distribution arm, outstayed its welcome until August 2008, when it was taken down... only for the scaffolding to remain, with an image of the real façade put in its place. Fans assumed the building was finally being repainted, but the scaffolding cover remains to this day, with no work taking place.
