Disney has revealed the opening date for The Magic of Disney Animation at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Opening Date

The space, part of Animation Courtyard, opens on September 14. Walt Disney World recently filed two permits for construction.

Disney also shared a behind-the-scenes video of work on the attraction’s Mary Blair-inspired Alice in Wonderland playground, Drawn to Wonderland.

The Magic of Disney Animation will include a new Animation Academy experience hosted by Olaf (instead of live artists) and six new meet and greets. Disney released a map of the space in late May.

The attraction is part of the reimagined Animation Courtyard inspired by the real Walt Disney Studios, including a giant sorcerer hat on the facade. Next door is Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! Several characters meet in the courtyard, including some that will later move inside The Magic of Disney Animation.
