There is too little entertainment there, but the secret is Lucas/Star Wars was acquired due to the massive success of Harry Potter at neighbor Universal Studios and so that an entire addition to Disney Studios could be built with unlimited creative license with a guaranteed themed success.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip Secret... at one point MGM Studios was my second-favorite WDW park after Epcot.

It sunk to 4th after the AK opened. Even bigger Secret... I probably now rate Disney Studios more highly than Epcot which is terribly sad because Epcot use to be far and away my favorite park. Epcot seems to have lost its way even more than the Studios did. And while the Studios seems to be at least trying to come back, Epcot seems willing to rest on it's past excellence.

At the conclusion, I stood up, asked everyone to gather their belongings and watch their head and step, as though nothing out of the ordinary happened. Not one person complained... at least that I know of! haha
