Walt Disney Studios to replace Animation Courtyard

20 Likes

I love this! This is so much more Studios! I love the Animation Experience at AK but it will fit so much better here with the theme (will they keep both? :thinking: ) And with Galaxy’s Edge clear across the park, Launch Bay has been out of place for quite a while.

I’m excited to see this unfold!!

I loooooooooovvvvvvveeee everything about this! I wonder if this was what they were hinting at when Figment went to Anaheim last year? DH will be thrilled to see the sorcerer hat make a return as well. So exciting!!

The courtyard with greenery is so needed in that space! Its a great addition.

I’m very happy they are bringing this back.

Of course, it’s fairly insignificant in the big picture, but it looks so nice.

I think that was when they announced the Figment movie. But I’m not 100% sure :rofl:

Seems like it should have more info by now so maybe it was scrapped? :woman_shrugging:

I’m also very excited about this and it goes with the theme of the park. I still remember the Animation Studios when I was a kid and it was great.

This. Is. AWESOME!!! Inever got to experience HS in it’s prime so looking forward to this new version of the good old days.

Agree that this sounds great! Launch Bay belongs over in GE–I hope they find a place to fit it in over there (ideally, they would bridge the gap btw Star Tours and GE, but that seems next to impossible. . . ). And I’ll love to see that Sorcerer’s hat more prominently again. For me, it was iconic, and I still miss it. I also love the animation classes, and I’d welcome them in any parks. Plus, the history. . . such good stuff. I look forward to it all!

Don’t hate this at all

Though

Our story in this newly reimagined space begins as the animators have temporarily stepped away… but the building is still buzzing with activity as the characters have come to life

They can leave the animators there. I’m totally cool with that.

If they sorta mimic the Disneyland counterpart(which it sounds like they will, with extra stuff), I’ll be a permanent fixture in there.

This is what I am really hoping for! It’s one of my favorite places on the best coast :grin:

*Disney.

Follow through. Full tilt. No trimming. HS needs this in a bad way.
