Two beloved boulevards are celebrating anniversaries this year at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Thirty years ago, the glamorous entry to an all-new Disney park “…dedicated to Hollywood,” as the opening day plaque reads, “not a place on a map, but a state of mind that exists wherever people dream and wonder and imagine, a place where illusion and reality are fused by technological magic” was represented by a bustling city street of stores and services, “a Hollywood that never was—and always will be,” as the dedication concluded. This was (and is) Hollywood Boulevard.
