Fantasmic! The Earful Tower is visible in the background.
The park consists of six themed areas. Unlike the other Walt Disney World parks, the Disney's Hollywood Studios does not have a defined layout; it is more a mass of streets and buildings that blend into each other, much like a real motion picture studio would. The layout of the park, however, did have an interesting design characteristic. If you look at an older version of a Disney's Hollywood Studios map and turn it upside down (or look at an old aerial photo oriented due north), you will see a Hidden Mickey in the overall layout of the park. Recent construction and changes to the park have eliminated much of this image.

Hollywood Boulevard
Hollywood Boulevard is lined with venues selling Disney merchandise and food. This is also the route of the daily Disney Stars and Motor Cars Parade. Michael Eisner, who had a major part in the park's creation ever since the earliest development, demanded the opening land operate on the same principle as Main Street, U.S.A.—a street lined with shops and food, but in a style more fitting to the Studios.
- The Great Movie Ride, a dark ride paying homage to several classic films, including Casablanca and The Wizard of Oz. It is located at the end of Hollywood Boulevard.
- A.T.A.S. Hall of Fame Plaza, which features busts of past and present icons of the television era, such as Oprah Winfrey and Walt Disney.
On February 7, 2008 park officials announced that the popular television series American Idol will inspire a new interactive stage show to be constructed in the former Superstar Television theatre, which will open near the end of 2008
