Retro Mickey Billboard Completed, Walkway Opens Ahead of Walt Disney Studios Courtyard’s May 26 Debut

Finishing touches signal a heritage-focused refresh that revives the look of Disney’s early studio lot.

Overview

  • The Walt Disney Studios billboard mural is now complete with a classic image of Mickey Mouse on the wall of the theater that will be renamed Studio Theater.
  • A new section of the courtyard walkway has opened around The Little Mermaid theater, giving guests a fresh path as construction walls shift.
  • Disney set May 26 for the courtyard opening along with the Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! show, which runs eight times daily from 10:15 am to 5:10 pm.
  • Exterior work on The Magic of Disney Animation building appears finished with a Sorcerer Hat marquee, while its indoor offerings have no announced opening date.
  • New trees, character handprints and signatures in the pavement, and a “Stage” label on the Disney Jr. building reinforce a Burbank and Hyperion-era studio look.
