Walt Disney World shifts more events to 'The Studios'

Disney World shifts more events to 'The Studios' Orlando Sentinel Disney's Hollywood Studios is ready for those who want to rock. Already home to three major annual bashes — including this month's Star Wars Weekends — and a number of annual after-hours private parties, The Studios also is taking over Disney World's annual high school "grad nights" and its annual "Night of Joy" Christian music festivals. Both grad nights and Night of Joy had until now taken place in Magic Kingdom. Disney's eighth-grade grad nights made the move to The Studios this year from Animal Kingdom. Last year, The Studios grabbed the High School Musical Pep Rally from Magic Kingdom. "Now, with the new venues coming on board . . . and with our major attractions, that kind of resonates with these age groups, with the teens coming in," said Rilous Carter, Disney World vice president for Disney's Hollywood Studios. by Scott Powers complete article
