What was Williams of Hollywood?

The main draw of Williams of Hollywood was the ability to pick up props and set pieces that were used at one theme-park attraction or another, from rides to seasonal events (like Halloween Horror Nights). Given their rarity, some of these items can go for a pretty penny – so, if that’s not your thing, there was a whole host of “vintage curiosities” also on hand, including various pieces of movie memorabilia, jewelry, and, even, antique furniture.

Where was Williams of Hollywood located?

In Hollywood, which is in Universal Studios Florida.

What you wish you knew before you visited

The inventory in Williams of Hollywood Prop Shop changed on a regular – indeed, sometimes on a daily – basis, so repeat visits were not only encouraged, they were a must.

Also, keep in mind that, even if you did come across a theme-park prop, it wouldn’t automatically fall in the pricey category; when Williams first opened, there were pieces from Twister… Ride It Out that cost as little as $34.99 (that’s less than most hoodies at the park!).
