Overview
- Aerial photos show the new “Walt Disney Studios” entrance sign installed where the archway stood, with fresh paving, planters, and turf nearly finished.
- On‑the‑ground updates document the removal of themed billboards and posters and the addition of a Walt Disney Studios street sign, with construction walls still blocking most views.
- Disney has scheduled a May 26 opening for the rebranded courtyard and for “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live!” inside the Disney Junior soundstage, with Bluey’s Wild World slated the same day at Conservation Station.
- Indoor offerings in The Magic of Disney Animation building, including meet‑and‑greets and other animation features, remain in development with no public date.
- The redesign replaces the former Animation Courtyard and Star Wars Launch Bay and evokes Burbank studio heritage with character handprints in the pavement and a marquee styled after the Roy E. Disney Animation Building.
