The Disney Hollywood Studios celebrate their 30th Anniversary on May 1 and D&M join the celebration by a series of articles with most of the original artworks done for the park at a time he was known as Disney MGM Studios. And it's not simply a copy and paste of a D&M previous article as most of the pictures have been enhanced and are now with accurate colors, better contrast, etc, in two words it's the best version ever of this article.
So, here is the part one with lot of original artworks, and probably many that you will see for the first time. The first one below is of course a park overview, without the Sunset Boulevard which will be added later.

Before we have a look to some behind the scenes pictures, here is a great story told to me by the late Imagineer Pat Burke about the "Casablanca" scene of the ride, and more specifically about the real plane one can see in the decor:
"The Casablanca scene has the real Casablanca Lockheed Electra plane used in the movie - and the tail section is in the WDW Jungle Cruise. The plane was located by Malcolm Cobb of WDI/ California, in Texas. Malcolm got the Lockheed registry of all the planes and their history and present owners and set out looking. On this Texas plane, no one had any idea it was the real plane until they ran its serial numbers and found it had been registered to the movie studio that made the film at that time. This was done after the purchase was completed. When Malcolm found it, it had been sitting for some time and not running. Another owner nearby owned three of these planes and wanted much more money for his as they were flyable. Malcolm didnt need one that flew and bought the cheapest one, being the real on. When the man who owned the three planes found out what he had missed, he was pretty upset at himself, as it had been right next to his backyard."
The first behind the scenes picture below shows an imagineer at work on the Busby Berkeley opening scene.

Almost cheek to cheek between a beautiful imagineer and a quite well done mummy...

No, it's not Tarzan and Jane, but two imagineers at work on the vegetation of the Tarzan scene.

Almost all of the Epcot and Disney Mgm artwork you can see on Disney and more was released to me during WDW 25th anniversary press event by the WDW photo library. At that time it was still possible for the journalists to go at the photo library, choose the slides that interest you and ask if it was possible to get them. These one needed an approval from WDW Imagineering, but they gave their approval, and that's the whole story. For the choice of the renderings themselves, you just have to thanks my good taste!

When Disney MGM opened it was a working studio. The scene with the ant and the observation balcony in the studios were part of the backlot tour of the park.
I was working as a merchandise host in the park in the early days (90-91), and don't recall that the merchandise location was ever called 'Pooh's Hollywood Corner.' From the early days, it was always called 'Keystone Clothiers,' and is still called that to this day. It's merchandise focus has been men and women's clothing and souvenirs. It spans the entire block and had/has ancillary locations facing Echo Lake that sold drinks, snacks, etc.
