Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: Movie Set Adventure was a playground at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando, Florida. It was located in the Streets of America area and was based on the 1989 film, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. The playground, which opened almost a year after the film, featured 30-foot-tall (9.1 m) blades of grass. The guests, which usually were children four and older, got a sense of what it would be like to be shrunk the Electromagic Shrink ray, created by Professor Wayne Szalinski described in the movie mentioned above.

Overview

The playground featured monumental movie props and structures from the classic Disney film. The soft play surface used for dirt and other objects was the same that is used in the Boneyard Playground in the DinoLand USA section at Disney's Animal Kingdom. The playground featured scenes from the movie, but also included areas that weren't explored in the film. This includes:

  • Large, rideable ants
  • Explorable Convoluted anthills
  • A spider web/maze with climbing ropes
  • A slide made to look like a canister of Kodak film
  • A giant dog, modeled after Quark, that sprays mist
  • 52-foot-long (16 m) leaking water hose that sprays
  • 40-foot-tall (12 m) bumblebees
  • Jumbo plant-root mazes
