Disney Parks Blog Weekly Recap

[Disney4me]

This week, we celebrated the anniversary of Disney’s Hollywood Studios with some great content, a gallery of images and a special wallpaper created especially for Disney Parks Blog readers.

The Earffel Tower has been a symbol of Disney’s Hollywood Studios since the park opened in 1989. We thought it’d be a great addition to your desktop or mobile device.

Be sure to check out the terms of use about using the wallpaper before you download it.

And Erin continued our count down until the beginning of the Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration on May 22, with the latest in her series of stories looking back at some of the innovations that the Happiest Place on Earth has seen throughout its first 60 years.

This week, we jumped to the 1960s and the invention of Audio-Animatronics technology. Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room was the first attraction to feature Audio-Animatronics technology featuring more than 200 singing birds, flowers and tikis. Check out Erin’s original story for more.
