Welcome back to another edition of the Disney dish podcast with Jim Hill. It's Me, Lantesta, and today

we're in Disney's Hollywood Studios talking about all of the new things that are going on in the

Hollywood Studios and also Christmas decorations. You can tell it's Christmas because it's 85 degrees outside.

Let's bring our own jolly old elf one Mr. Jim Hill.

Jim has it going?

I'm doing great, Lynn.

I'm in my favorite park at Walt Disney World,

so what to go wrong?

I can't believe this is your favorite park in all of what Disney World. Why?

I'm a fan of old Hollywood and when this place opened it in 89 and 30th anniversary in 2019.

That's right next year, 30th anniversary.

Back, you know, in 89 when this place open,

LA couldn't move fast enough to tear down old Hollywood

and to have it lovingly recreated in much the style of Main Street USA here on Hollywood Boulevard,

you always tickled me.

And what I love about this is the Imagineers, it wasn't just a question of recreating things like the camera shop or the Woolworth on Hollywood Boulevard,

but they even went back and did the fact that at one point Hollywood Boulevard was a residential street.

In fact, that's the thing of Sid Kuangas right over here.

This represents that you used to actually see houses along Hollywood Boulevard.

Of course, in the early days of Hollywood, you'd take a house and it would suddenly become a shop.

So, huh, it's fascinating.

Yeah.
