Photos: 15 of our favorite handprints outside The Great Movie Ride at Disney World
One of the great details of The Great Movie Ride, which will close on Aug. 13, 2017, is not inside the attraction, but outside.
The ride is housed in a replica of the legendary Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, complete with neon marquees and an art-deco interior. And just like the great Hollywood Walk of Fame outside the original theater, there are hand prints outside this one as well.
On the park’s opening day, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Roger Rabbit and other Disney characters placed their signatures, footprints, and handprints in front of the façade of the Great Movie Ride.
Over the years numerous other stars did the same. There are 109 handprints in the forecourt. Here are 15 of our favorites. (You can find the complete list below.)
