Disney's Magic of Animation Cuts Evening Hours
Walt Disney World has announced the operating schedule for its highly anticipated walk-through experience, The Magic of Disney Animation, set to debut at Disney's Hollywood Studios on September 14, 2026. Initially, the attraction will operate from rope drop to park close during its opening fortnight.
However, beginning September 28, 2026, the attraction will transition to a shorter operating window, with hours of operation reduced to 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
This means visitors planning evening park itineraries or late-night visits to Hollywood Studios will miss out on the attraction unless they adjust their daytime schedules.
The Magic of Disney Animation is a major addition anchoring the newly renamed area, 'The Walt Disney Studios', and its shortened schedule may impact theme park strategy for some guests.
