All over the Walt Disney World resort there were Lights, Cameras, and Action to help celebrate Disney's Hollywood Studios 20th anniversary. Of course it would not be a major anniversary without WDWCelebrations who celebrated by staging, "Studio 20".

To honor this milestone Disney celebrated by holding a event at the Premier theater, not to mention selling decorated cupcakes, a beautiful t-shirt as well adding a few special touches like banners at the park entrance and a history exhibit on the park in the One Man's Dream attraction. While Disney mostly celebrated the anniversary on May 1 WDWCelebrations held their "Studio 20" event over three days, April 30 through May 2.

The first "Studio 20" event actually began on the night of April 30 at the Fantasia Mini Golf course where attendees were invited to play golf and have fun. For those who have never visited Fantasia Mini Golf it is separated into two courses. The "Fairways" course, where most of the group golfed, is based upon a "not so miniature" golf course and comes complete with water hazards and sand traps. Those who enjoy a more traditional mini-golf can enjoy the "Gardens" course. During the night I caught up with WDWCelebrations Core Team members: Tom Corless, Jose Castillo, and Matt Pezzula who were all about half way through the Fairways course.

I thought this description was great

looks like someone gave up and left their ball in the water hazard

Everyone was having such a good time that the some people didn't notice Fantasmic going on in the background and too soon the last ball fell into the final hole. After that final hole everyone bid farewell until the following morning as it was only a few hours until the "Studio 20" festivities would officially begin.
