On With the (Even Bigger) Show! New Name, More Magic to Transform Disney Theme Park
New Attractions, Experiences at Disney's Hollywood Studios

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (Aug. 9, 2007) -- In the Walt Disney World theme
park famous for all things Hollywood, it's curtain up on the launch of new
attractions, new looks, new breakthrough experiences...
...and a brand-new name.

Disney-MGM Studios will be renamed Disney's Hollywood Studios, effective
January 2008, announced Meg Crofton, president of Walt Disney World
Resort.

"The new name reflects how the park has grown from representing the golden
age of movies to a celebration of the new entertainment that today's
Hollywood has to offer -- in music, television, movies and theater," she
said.

Framed by the park's supporting cast of classic Hollywood architecture are
shows and attractions straight from contemporary Hollywood, such as Rock
'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, "Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme
Stunt Show" and many more. Disney's Hollywood Studios is also the place to
meet favorite character stars of today including Lightning McQueen and
Mater from Disney-Pixar's "Cars," Power Rangers and Little Einsteins.
With exciting coming attractions and experiences, the best and brightest
of Hollywood is about to emerge for park guests, Crofton said.
"As Disney continues to grow and invest in our family entertainment
business, we constantly explore new ways to deliver high-quality,
immersive experiences for our guests," she added. "As a park all about
entertainment, Disney's Hollywood Studios will deliver like never before.
Now we can say that Hollywood is literally our middle name."

New Attractions, Experiences
* Toy Story Mania! Guests get sporty in a new, interactive "Toy Story"
competition inspired by Disney-Pixar's "Toy Story" films and hosted by
characters like they've never before experienced. Past a queuing area
featuring a giant Mr. Potato Head, guests grab 3-D glasses, board
fanciful ride vehicles and zip into a world of exciting midway-style
games hosted by many of their favorite "Toy Story" characters
including Woody, Hamm and Rex. Once inside "Andy's Toy Box," the
competition heats up. Who can rack up the most points? Using
spring-action shooters, guests launch darts at balloons, rings at
aliens, eggs at whimsical barnyard targets. Toy Story Mania! takes the
interactive ride-game experience to infinity -- and beyond. (summer
2008)

* "Block Party Bash." Play, party and dance as the Disney-Pixar Film
Pals present "Block Party Bash," the wildest, most interactive parade
in Disney history. New to Disney's Hollywood Studios, "Block Party
Bash" will invite guests to rock to retro tunes, be dazzled by
high-flying acrobatics and join in the fun as more than 20 partying
Disney-Pixar Film Pals fill the theme park streets. This immersive
rolling spectacle will feature favorite characters from "The
Incredibles," "Toy Story 2," "Monsters, Inc." and "A Bug's Life."
(spring 2008, replaces "Disney Stars and Motor Cars" parade)

* "Playhouse Disney-Live on Stage!" A whole new cast of friends from
Playhouse Disney fills the popular Playhouse Disney stage. Children
will be on their feet singing, clapping and dancing to performing
stars from "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse," "Little Einsteins," "Handy Manny"
and more. ("Playhouse Disney-Live on Stage!" will be dark most of
January 2008, reopens February 2008)

* "Disney High School Musical 2: School's Out!" With new songs and a
rollicking new spirit, the Disney Channel Original Movie "High School
Musical 2" comes to life on the streets of Disney's Hollywood Studios.
It is interactive fun as high-energy performers on a traveling stage
invite all ages to catch Wildcat fever by singing and dancing. (fall
2007, replaces "High School Musical Pep Rally")

* Meet and Greet Adds Handy Manny. And what would a Disney theme park
be without characters? Disney's Hollywood Studios is center stage for
character meet and greets. Disney Channel stars JoJo and Goliath and
the Little Einsteins welcome guests in the Animation Courtyard next to
"Playhouse Disney-Live on Stage!" and will be joined for the first
time by Handy Manny later this year. (November 2007)

Part of the Disney's Hollywood Studios magic includes events for which the
park is famous. To a stellar lineup including ABC Super Soap Weekend, the
Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights, ESPN the Weekend and Star Wars
Weekends, the park reprises the Playhouse Disney in Concert series with
dynamic concerts and special entertainment for little ones.

Headliners include favorite children's acts The Doodlebops, Imagination
Movers, Dan Zanes and Friends, and Johnny and the Sprites. The fun happens
on select dates Aug. 30-Oct. 28, 2007, during Little Ones Travel Time in a
10,000 square foot, air-conditioned performance venue. For the complete show

In addition, holidays at Disney's Hollywood Studios will have a special
sparkle this year as the park hosts the Harlem Gospel Choir Nov. 30-Dec.
25, 2007.

"This is easily one of the most ambitious attractions rollouts in the
18-year history of the park," Crofton said. "With so many great coming
attractions, we are thrilled to be launching a Studios year unlike any
other. Wrapped in a brand-new name...Disney's Hollywood Studios."
