On August 16, 1999, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire debuts on ABC. The Show is an immediate hit, with ratings soaring to 30 million viewers a night. Many memorable moments happened those first few nights, including Michael Shutterly's $500,000 win, Doug Van Gundy's dramatic $250,000 win, Tom Coletta's "I'm a fat man Regis, my heart can't take it" response, Hillary Daw's joyful $16,000 win, Doug Foster, John McClain, David Honea, and Norman Payne agonizing over their $32,000 questions, and finally, David Honea's return due to a bad question having him win $125,000.

 

Differences with real WWTBAM studio and Disney studio

I have seen some noticeable differences with the real ABC WWTBAM studio and the Disney MGM attraction "WWTBAM Play-It!" studio.

 

The WWTBAM Play-It attraction in Disney World and in Disney's California Adventure has 3 times the size for the audience of the real ABC studio in New York.

 

And the display screen in which the contestant looks at for the question, the one on the Play It set is a bit smaller than the one in the ABC NY studio. Also you can see a very large  display to the right of the host, as you can see below, for the audience can see the contestant's reactions to the questions and outcome.

Also the main lights that go down after every question, there are 2 more than the real set of ABC. In the studio in NY there are 3 on each side and in the Play It studio there are 3 also on each side but 2 more above them on each side.  Also there are more lights in the Play- It studio around the audience area and in the 2 smaller lights in the middle of the play it set.

The ABC NY studio has a bit sleeker and cleaner look than the Disney Play-Play it sets.

Same in both studios, both have the screen of fake money.
