The transformation of the Animation Courtyard area at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is officially complete, and guests can now enjoy the beautifully reimagined Walt Disney Studios Courtyard. After months of construction walls and anticipation, this refreshed space has opened to reveal a charming, peaceful corner of the park inspired by the creative spirit of the The Walt Disney Studios.

The updated courtyard offers a more intimate and inviting atmosphere, featuring lush landscaping, shaded seating areas, whimsical character touches, and new details that celebrate Disney animation history. It’s the perfect place to pause, relax, and take in the magic between attractions.
