ABC Commissary
Location: Disney's Hollywood Studios
Time: Dinner time

Authentic wardrobe from ABC's Lost.  I posted this today because after a (way-too-long) hiatus, the Lost Season Premiere is tonight.  These costumes are located in the eating area at the ABC Commissary which is a pretty good counter-service restaurant at the Studios.

50's Prime Time Cafe
Location: Disney's Hollywood Studios
Time: Lunchtime!

BEST.  RESTAURANT. EVER.  Seriously this place has awesome food.  My favorite is the meatloaf, but the fried chicken is amazing too.  Themed after a 1950's sitcom home, your meal is prepared by "Mom" and you are the "cousins" that came to visit.  If you want an alcoholic beverage it will be prepared by "Dad" from his liquor cabinet.  Don't get caught with your elbows on the table or using bad manners or you will pay with public humiliation.  Also, there is a t.v. at almost every table.  Great food and great theming.

Sorcerer Mickey Hat
Location: Disney's Hollywood Studios
Time: Early Morning

As mentioned before, this became the park icon for the Studios in 2001.  It was built for the "100 Years of Magic" Celebration which honored the 100th birthday of Walt Disney.  There has been much debate amongst die-hard Disney fans as to the authenticity of this park icon.  Many people prefer the "old school" original park icon...you can decide for yourself.  The only "attraction" that this building contains is a Pin Trading store.  In my opinion, this is a beautiful structure at night when everything is lit up and shiny...but I do prefer the original park icon of the Chinese Theatre or the Earffel Tower...but more on that later.

The Great Movie Ride
Location: Disney's Hollywood Studios
Time: Dusk

This was the park icon for the Studios (formerly known as Disney-MGM Studios) until the new park icon was built in 2001.  The exterior is modeled after the famous Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA.  The Great Movie Ride itself takes park guests through scenes celebrating some of the greatest movies in cinematic history.  The best part about this ride is that it combines live action, audio animatronics, and extensively detailed sets that make you feel like you are really a part of the movies!
