Overview
- The Magic of Disney Animation soft-opened Friday and is letting guests enter before its scheduled September 14 official opening.
- Olaf Draws! is an Animation Academy–style show led by an advanced Audio‑Animatronic Olaf using prerecorded instruction from Disney animators and multiple show variations.
- When crowding requires it the Olaf Draws! line will use a virtual waitlist that guests must join in person at the venue and that sends return times by text rather than through the My Disney Experience app.
- Many formerly roaming characters have been moved into the building’s Off the Page! meet spaces while Jiminy Cricket and the White Rabbit now rotate through the outdoor courtyard and Alice appears inside the Drawn to Wonderland play area.
- Disney has posted opening-week hours that match park times for Sept. 14–27 but plans a reduced daily schedule of 10:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m. beginning Sept. 28 and may further adjust operations as previews continue.
