STREET ENTERTAINMENT
( )
With the possible exception of Epcot's World Show-
case Players, the Studios has the best roving street performers in all of Walt Disney
World. Appearing primarily on Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards, the cast of charac-
ters includes Hollywood stars and wannabes, their agents, film directors, and gossip
columnists, as well as police officers and Hollywood public-works crews.
The performers are not shy about asking you to join in their skits, and you may be
asked anything from explaining why you came to “Hollywood” all the way to reciting
a couple of lines in one of the directors' new films.

busier times. As a reader from Sandwich, Illinois, reports:
The Studios is an absolute ghost town on nights it doesn't show and packed
to capacity on nights when it does! There has to be a happy medium

Fantasmic!
is far and away the most unique outdoor spectacle ever attempted in
any theme park and a must-see for the whole family. Starring Mickey Mouse in his
role as the sorcerer's apprentice from
