The experience

The Magic of Disney Animation combines character encounters, drawing, indoor play and film. Its exterior takes inspiration from the Roy E. Disney Animation Building, including the Sorcerer Hat.

Choose your activity

Olaf Draws! offers guided sketching. Off the Page! pairs characters with six stages of animation. Drawn to Wonderland is an indoor playground inspired by Mary Blair's Alice in Wonderland art. Once Upon a Studio Theater shows the short film with added effects.

Look between the main stops

Reception includes a Lost and Found display. An enchanted gallery brings portraits to life, while Treasures Untold gathers story keepsakes. The Animator's Office includes a desk preserved from the original Animation Academy.

These rooms are parts of the same complex. You can choose one activity and leave time to look around without joining every character queue.
