Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Play It!
Mickey Avenue
Consecutive 30 minute shows
FastPass available

A replica of the famous high-tech set from the TV show, "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," has been reproduced, complete with its dramatic lighting and hot seat.  The live show runs continuously throughout the day in a 600-seat studio located in Soundstages 2 and 3 at the Disney-MGM Studios.  Prizes range from collectible pins and hats to a grand-prize trip to New York City to view a taping of the ABC-TV game show.

Like the television show, the fastest finger determines the first contestant to sit in the coveted hot seat. All audience members play along by using individual keypads as their scores are tallied throughout the session. They also get involved when players use the "ask the audience" lifeline. Other guests could be called upon for help with the "phone a complete stranger" lifeline.

Premiering as a regular ABC series in January 2000, "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" soared in popularity to become the most watched television series of the 1999-2000 season. Proving its broad viewer appeal, "Millionaire" also finished the season as a Top 10 television program among adults 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, as well as among teens and kids. "Millionaire" is truly appointment television, regularly building on its lead-in audience and consistently delivering on each of the nights it airs.
