It definitely highlighted the old Hollywood Theme. The hat looks cool at night but hides the overall theme. Still, The wagging Pluto is the marquee DHS icon for me at night

Yes they did a fireworks show at MGM. If I remember right they had a Mickey with fireworks shooting out of its finger.
It has been s long ago, that I don't remember much else.

Yes the turtles were awesome there! I believe they had a "show" on the Streets of America if I remember correctly???
I also remember a Muppet show as well too and the characters! Meeting Kermit and Miss Piggy were awesome!

The turtles were there just at the height of their Popularity..The danced to the theme song While April O'neal sang and then it was a M&G afterwards..Similar to when the Power Rangers were there a few years ago..I would have like to have known a little more about this agreement from Disney with Eastman & Laird and what their plans were with them. As you hear in the show that they were part of the Disney Family...But, all we know is this little stage show and that was it..Time Warner retained the rights to the Turtle Films up until Paramount bought the characters..And if you have seen the new version of the Michael Bay Turtles........Oh dear lord...*facepalm*The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

I remembered the old Sorcery in the Sky Fireworks at Disney-MGM Studios. I remembered first seeing them in summer of 1991 on my first trip ever to WDW.

I still miss that little extra old hollywood oomph the old MGM name gave. Gable, Powell, Loy, Harlow, Crawford, etc, were all at Metro at is height.
I have never been out West to DCA, but I always wondered after the opening debacle and massive refurb, why they never just made it the WestCoast DHS to begin with?
Some would say why do an old Hollywood style park right where it all began due to redundancy, but then again, there is a lot of old restaurants, theaters, studio sets, places connected to that era, etc. and you would think there would be more left or rather more left in tact, but there are some heavy hitters that are no more. What they could have done with a park, whether DCA or our very own DHS that needs a boost, I think the possibilities are endless.

I wish I could have went when there were more old Hollywood personalities walking around. I really enjoy the Main Street USA folks at MK.

It's also a shame we never see what David Copperfields: Magic Underground Restaurant could have looked like.

Oh I am sure that would have been fantastic!! Would have made everyone's money disappear? That was so corny wow.
Yeah. I wish that hadn't stopped. I think they even had two ladies dress and act like Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons. I remember seeing pictures in an ad for MGM. One had the super large hat and a notebook and pencil. LOL!
