4 New Attractions Open in Disney's Hollywood Studios

The day is HERE! A whole new area has opened in Hollywood Studios, and we may or may not be able to stop talking about it. It truly is that magical.

Walt Disney Studios — Animation Building

Walt Disney Studios has been a fantastic addition to the park, with a courtyard full of fun animal statues, handprints of famous Disney characters, and walk-around characters enjoying the Florida weather. The indoor section, The Magic of Disney Animation, has officially opened to the public!

Everyone, say hello to The Magic of Disney Animation! The characters are hosting an Open House and inviting you to come and check it out.

It looks like all the characters came out to play before the park officially opened this morning! There are so many friendsa nd it all looks like the short the land was based on, Once Upon a Studio.

The main attraction, and what we think will be the most popular, is Olaf Draws! This is where you’ll get to draw some of your favorite Disney characters, led by a real animator and Olaf, who isn’t quite known for his drawing skills, but he’s a lot of fun, too.

There’s also a huge meet-and-greet section, Off the Page, where you can meet Mulan, Rapunzel, Chip ‘n’ Dale, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Stitch. Now that’s a lineup!

It’s Mulan!

They all have different backgrounds that will look perfect in photos.

You can also check out the Drawn to Wonderland Playground, which is themed after Mary Blair’s original concept art for Alice in Wonderland. We spent a little too much time on the slide…

…and a whole tea party section.

You can also watch Once Upon a Studio in a theater. It’s a great way to keep your feet up for a bit and enjoy the air conditioning. It’s also a sweet film that showcases almost every Disney animated movie and even includes a special nod to Walt Disney that makes us want to cry every time.

The space is currently open from 9 AM to 9 PM, with Olaf Draws! ending at 8:30 PM and Off the Page, with the characters ending at 6:30 PM, so you’ll want to plan your day accordingly.

He’s just asking for warm hugs!
