Disney's Hollywood Studios Updates Magic of Disney Animation Operating Hours

The Magic of Disney Animation at Disney's Hollywood Studios has undergone an update to its operating hours as of September 28, 2026. The building now opens earlier than initially stated on My Disney Experience, which listed the theater's hours as 10am-6pm.

However, entrance signage indicates that character meet-and-greets in Off the Page! and Olaf Draws! are open from 9am. This means visitors can interact with characters such as Chip 'n' Dale, Donald & Daisy, Goofy, Mulan, Rapunzel, Stitch, and more an hour before the theater's scheduled start time.

The only element still operating on the reduced schedule is the Once Upon A Studio Theater, which opens at 10am. It's essential for visitors to check both My Disney Experience and physical signage upon arrival, as times may vary day by day.
