Disney Unveils Magic of Animation Atrium Courtyard Entrance

The Magic of Disney Animation at Disney's Hollywood Studios is getting a new atrium courtyard entrance. Walt Disney Imagineering has shared a first look at this space in the latest episode of the Pardon Our Pixie Dust series.

The atrium serves as an entry point to The Magic of Disney Animation, connecting the outdoor Walt Disney Studios courtyard with the experiences inside the building. It's designed for guests to gather before entering, featuring photo opportunities, benches, and landscaping with trees, flowers, and foliage in a colorful environment.

The space was inspired by the real Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank, California, specifically the Open House setting featured in Once Upon A Studio. This creative foundation serves as the basis for the entire Magic of Disney Animation experience.
