food IS a theme park
Welp, another day — another Disney World closure. Animation Courtyard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is now officially closed, as is almost everything located within it.
Animation Courtyard
Animation Courtyard is closing to make way for Walt Disney Studios. This new area is expected to open in 2026 and will serve as a special tribute to the Walt Disney Studios lot in California. Now that Animation Courtyard has closed, we’re bringing you a look at all the changes you need to see!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios has already been under a LOT of construction this year, with the addition of Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After (which we love) and The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure (for all you Disney princess fans), not to mention that Muppets Courtyard is being turned into the new Monsters, Inc. Land as you read this.

That’s not all, though. There’s ANOTHER big construction project starting soon, and by that we mean *checks watch* in just five days. So head into this spot soon, because it’s about to look ENTIRELY different!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios has a lot of construction projects going on right now, and even more walls are preparing to go up in a few weeks!
Animation Courtyard
Muppets Courtyard is in the process of becoming the new Monsters, Inc. Land, but Disney announced back in late July that Animation Courtyard would also be getting a massive overhaul and retheme. This is your reminder that the current version of the land will only be around until the end of September — after that, the major changes begin!
