Disney's Hollywood Studios Unveils Major Updates for September
Disney's Hollywood Studios is set to undergo several changes in September 2026. One of the biggest updates will be the opening of a new take on the classic Magic of Disney Animation experience, which will replace the Star Wars Launch Bay. The new attraction, called 'The Magic of Disney Animation', will feature four sections: Olaf Draws, where guests can learn to draw iconic Disney characters; Drawn to Wonderland Playground, an indoor play area for young animators-to-be; the Once Upon A Studio Theater, which will show the Emmy Award-winning short film Once Upon A Studio; and a new look at the latest Disney animated movie.
Extended Evening Hours will also be offered on select nights in September, allowing guests to stay in the park from 9 PM to 11 PM. During these hours, several attractions will be available, including Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.
After Hours events will also return to the park on September 2nd and 12th, offering guests an extra two hours in the park with lower wait times and snacks included in the ticket price. These events will feature attractions such as Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and Slinky Dog Dash.
