The experience

The Walt Disney Studios courtyard reimagines the former Animation Courtyard with inspiration from Disney's Burbank studio lot. Look for Pluto's Corner, character details among the landscaping and the Studio Store.

The Magic of Disney Animation brings several activity formats into one building. The Little Mermaid - A Musical Adventure and Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! remain nearby theater choices. Choose by participation and effects rather than assuming every activity is a quiet break.
