🎨✨ Hollywood Studios just got a whole lot more magical! ✨🎨
Mark your calendars — September 14th is the day! A brand-new experience called The Magic of Disney Animation lands where Star Wars: Launch Bay used to sit, adding another chapter to the growing Walt Disney Studios area.
Four things to check out once you’re inside:
🖍️ A drawing lesson with a twist – Sketch alongside a talking Olaf and screen appearances from real Disney animators, learning to draw favorites like Mickey, Minnie, Genie, Moana, and Stitch
👋 Character encounters with a behind-the-scenes theme – Say hi to Mulan, Rapunzel, Chip ‘n’ Dale, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Stitch, each set up in a scene themed to a different part of the animation process
🌸 A playground built for imagination – A colorful space drawing on classic Alice in Wonderland art, complete with an oversized garden full of musical touches, a tea-party-themed play set, and a woodland area to wander
🎬 A short film with extra flair – Settle in for the award-winning Once Upon a Studio short, now shown with added visual surprises woven into the theater itself
This rounds out phase two of the new land, following its first section that debuted back in May. Can’t wait to see it in person! 🏰
