Xena!

[General Grizz]

Anyone else hear the secret that the TV series XENA was filmed in a "jungle" back behind the Magic Kingdom?

Okay, calm down! Take several deep breaths. Steady: Steady. Calm now? Maybe there is a time space discontinuity back of the Magic Kingdom, but can you say New Zealand? But if you have evidence, please let me know - a quick way to get to Renee O'Connor would be most welcome. Forgive me Lucy, but I'm a major Gabrielle fan! :lol:

Oh, this is true Grizz. The production took place just to the west of the MK, back near the land fill. They had a production trailer at MGM. The area was not really secured, save for a WDW Security van on the road to the area.

I know they did some filming inside the Disney Stuidios itself. But didn't ever hear about them filming other locations on the property.

Back in the mid-90s (around 94 if memory serves me correctly) I remember seeing some of the set of one of the Xena episodes in a MGM studio. Studio 3 stands out in my mind??

They were about 3/4 done building the set. It was a town scene with a lot of fake grey stone walls.

I wish I had taken some pictures, but the cast members made sure no one took any pictures. Of course back then you didn't have tiny digital cameras so it was easy to prevent.

I miss the days of actually getting to see shows or movies being filmed at the studios.
