Hollywood Boulevard
Hollywood Boulevard is lined with shops selling Disney merchandise and food. This is also the location of Disney-Pixar's "Pixar Pals Countdown to Fun!" parade. While parades are a major attraction today, the area was not originally built to handle parades, and an appropriate sound system and other facilities had to be retrofitted after initial construction. Michael Eisner, who had a major part in the park's creation ever since the earliest development, demanded the opening land operate on the same principle as Main Street, U.S.A. — a street lined with shops and food, but in a style more fitting to the Studios.
- The Great Movie Ride, a dark ride paying homage to several classic films is located at the end of Hollywood Boulevard.
- Beauty and the Beast – Live on Stage, appeared on Hollywood Boulevard until the Theater of the Stars moved to Sunset Boulevard in 1994.

Famous quotes containing the words hollywood and/or boulevard:
“If New York is the Big Apple, tonight Hollywood is the Big Nipple.”
—Bernardo Bertolucci (b. 1940)
“Arrive in the afternoon, the late light slanting
In diluted gold bars across the boulevard brag
Of proud, seamed faces with mercy and murder hinting
here, there, interrupting, all deep and debonair,
The pink paint on the innocence of fear;
Walk in a gingerly manner up the hall.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
