Yeah, my friends, the entertainment giant won't stop! I've already told you some of the news that is about to arrive at Disney Parks this second semester of 2025, remember? If you don't remember, take a look at the post below:
👉 What's new at Disney in 2025 for the second semester
And now Disney has revealed more of this incredible novelty, especially for those who are fans of the company's animations!
The new Disney's Hollywood Studios area
Disney will build the The Magic of Disney Animation (as will be called the new area) in the place where Star Wars Launch Bay is now operating and thus completely transform the region known as Animation Courtyard at Hollywood Studios. All the ambiance will follow the style of the famous Disney Animation building in Burbank, California — with the iconic wizard hat on top. Yes, he himself, who will return to the park! (Who is there from that time? rsrs)
Besides, Disney will rephrase the entire outside of the new areaThe Disney Junior stage will win a new version, the team will install shady areas for rest and the patio will receive a look inspired by the Disney Animation studios in California.
A lot of interactivity in the new Disney's Hollywood Studios area.
The new space will offer an immersive experience, where visitors can interact with animated portraits, watch an exclusive short with surprise and even draw their own characters — as if they were inside an animation studio of their own Disney.
Thinking of the children's audience, new area Disney's Hollywood Studios will also have a space called Drawn to Wonderland, inspired by the aesthetics of the artist Mary Blair, famous for her work in Alice in Wonderland. Thus, the environment will be air conditioned and will feature mazes, interactive flowers and a touch of fantasy that promises to please the whole family.
Disney will innovate meeting with characters
Traditional character dating will also win a new face. That is, Mickey, Moana, Maui and other icons from Disney will be available in unique and creative scenarios, spread throughout the new area. Therefore, these meetings promise photos and interactive moments outside the conventional and will take the experience of visitors to another level! (Seriously, I am already excited and excited to check this out from close!)
A living homage to the magic of animation
The new area of Hollywood Studios It's all about the spirit of the short It Was Once a Studio (which you can watch here at Disney+), launched by Disney in 2023 to celebrate his 100th birthday.
In the film, animated characters come alive and gather inside the Disney Animation building — exactly what this new area proposes: bring backstage animation to the park, interactively and excitingly. So if you haven’t watched yet, I recommend!
When will this new area be available?
Reforms will begin in 25 September 2025, with Animation Courtyard Disney will keep some attractions running, for example, the show. The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure and Walt Disney PresentsOn the other hand, the team has already confirmed that the Disney Jr. show will come to an end.
