History
In March 2002, the park was announced to open in the (Southern Hemisphere) summer season of 2004-2005. Construction began in May 2002, and the park's final cost of construction was slightly over AU$340 million. Around the time of the park's construction in 2002, The Malcolm in the Middle Movie used employee parking lots for the Disneyland Australia Resort along with the as temporary backlots to recreate portions of Malcolm's neighborhood.

On January 8, 2005, Disney's Studio Park was opened by and the Premier of New South Wales.

In 2006, the park reached 10 million visitors.

In 2007, Great Australian Resorts confirmed that the park has no plans for major expansion for the next 10 years.

In 2017, the major expansion plans were announced with Star Wars Land (soon renamed to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge).

On October 5, 2018, a new attraction named Mattel Play! Town Sydney was opened, adding a new dimension to the long-standing Barney's Theatre attraction.

On July 15, 2019, the new Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge area opened. A month later, Disney announced three new studio lots: The Simpsons: Welcome to Springfield (based off The Simpsons), Arendelle: World of Frozen (based off Frozen), and Pandora: The World of Avatar (based off Avatar).

On May 23, 2020, after the acquisition of Peanuts' theme park rights in Australia, it was announced that Universe Snoopy, an extra fourth new studio lot, will take up part of Toon Studio, while an extra fifth studio lot, Bluey's Town, will take up part of Effects Stage.

On June 11, 2020, along with Disney's Aussie Beach, will reopen, the reason for the later date compared to Disneyland Sydney is due to the higher capacity requirement for the park as many attractions depend on the guests. Although, due to heavy construction, several guests can only be in an area at a time.

Due to COVID-19, the openings of the expansions were delayed from October-December 2020 to Spring 2021.

In 2021, all five new areas of the park finally opened, albeit with COVID protocols in place.
