Live Entertainment
Disney's Hollywood Studios has featured numerous forms of in-park entertainment throughout its history. During its early years, the park featured the "Star Today" program, with a daily celebrity guest. The celebrity would often be featured in a motorcade along Hollywood Boulevard, or would take part in a handprint ceremony at the Great Movie Ride's entrance, or even participate in an interview session.

Many of the park's costumed entertainers are not related to any particular film or TV show. Instead, they are live-action caricatures of figures from Hollywood's history. Originally dubbed "streetmosphere" by Disney and now called the "Citizens of Hollywood", they appear at regular intervals on Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards. Some of these characters include directors, talent agents, starlets or hopefuls, and will often take part in streetside shows that will include audience participation.

Today, guests are treated to a wide array of characters and performers, many of which make their only Walt Disney World appearances at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Some examples include characters from Henry Hugglemonster, Mickey Mouse & Kim Possible. Similarly, characters from new Disney and Pixar animated features will make their Walt Disney World debuts at the park, such as those from Bolt and Pixar's Ratatouille. Live musical acts, such as the cover band The Fab Four and the a cappella quartet Four For a Dollar, will perform on the park streets or as pre-show entertainment at the larger shows.

Like the Magic Kingdom and Disney's Animal Kingdom parks, Disney's Hollywood Studios also runs daily parades down Hollywood Boulevard. Hollywood Dreams parade features many Movies & TV shows performing in a street along Hollywood Boulevard and near New York City. & at night at Hollywood Boulevard at the front of the Chinese Theater a nightime show before a firework Spectacular Hollywood is Magical, The villains capture The Magic of the Movies & Hollywood and it's up to Mickey to free them and bring back The Memories of Hollywood. is the same show as in It's Magical at Tokyo Disneyland & Splashtacular at Epcot but with new characters featuring: Darth Vader, Yoda, R2-D2 & C-3PO, Stormtroopers, Han Solo from Star Wars, & the Disney Villains. Sorcery in the Sky: 100 Years of Hollywood, is a fireworks and projection mapping show. Taking place behind of The Great Movie Ride, An announcer introduces the guests to the show and shouts "Light, camera, action!" to set the stage. At this point, the sounds of a flickering projector and A traditional fanfare, complete with 100 high powered searchlights (most of which form a diamond over the Chinese Theater) & then play A medley of the various musical pieces from the film play before the grand finale, A bright ensemble of fireworks punctuate the finale with Perimeter 360 firework & fire finale and the show ends as confetti is launched from the rooftops of Hollywood Boulevard. & the director says Cut that a wrap.
