Disney's Magic of Animation Attraction Nears Opening Date as Cast Member Previews Begin

The highly anticipated Magic of Disney Animation attraction at Hollywood Studios has reached a major milestone with the start of cast member previews.

This is a crucial step in getting the attraction ready for its official opening on September 14, which is now just nine days away.

Cast members have been spotted entering the reimagined experience, and construction walls have already come down around the area.

The Magic of Disney Animation is part of a larger transformation of the former Animation Courtyard into the Walt Disney Studios Lot. The courtyard reopened to guests in May 2026 while work continued inside the attraction.
