Disney's Magic of Animation Brings Beloved Characters to Life

The Magic of Disney Animation has officially opened its doors at Walt Disney World Resort. To mark this occasion, over 60 beloved Disney characters gathered for a rare photo opportunity in front of the attraction's entrance. This nostalgic moment was reminiscent of the iconic photo from the Disney animated short 'Once Upon a Studio,' created to commemorate the company's 100th anniversary.

The Animation Courtyard, where The Magic of Disney Animation is located, has been designed to evoke the look and feel of the Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank, California. Inside, guests can immerse themselves in various interactive experiences, including watching characters come to life through artwork, participating in play areas, learning to draw with Olaf, and even catching a screening of 'Once Upon a Studio.'

The attraction's opening is part of the Walt Disney World Resort's ongoing expansion plans. The Magic of Disney Animation invites guests to explore a new collection of animation-inspired experiences, celebrating over a century of storytelling from the Walt Disney Animation Studios.
