There is a LOT happening in Disney’s Hollywood Studios right now. So Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets finally opened in May, and we’re still LOVING the new attraction. Monstropolis is currently being built where Muppets Courtyard used to be and will have a phased opening starting in 2027.

But a lot just changed TODAY in Hollywood Studios, too, so we’re going to give a full rundown of all the changes so you don’t miss anything.

The Magic of Disney Animation

Although The Magic of Disney Animation at The Walt Disney Studios soft-opened a few days ago, the new attraction has officially opened as of today. The building itself was inspired by the actual Disney animation studio in Burbank (complete with the Mickey Sorcerer’s hat) and houses multiple attractions in one. For starters, you can learn to draw iconic Disney characters from Olaf and a video of a Disney animator in Olaf Draws.

You can also meet Disney characters in “Off The Page” as they greet guests in six departments in the building, themed to departments you’d find at Disney’s REAL animation studios.

The new space also features an indoor playground (yes, an indoor AIR-CONDITIONED playground) for kids called Drawn To Wonderland. It’s based on Mary Blair’s concept art for Alice in Wonderland.

You can also enjoy some time in an air-conditioned theater space to watch Disney’s Emmy Award-winning short, Once Upon A Studio, in the Once Upon A Studio Theater.

The space also features a lot of interactive experiences, hidden details, Easter eggs, and surprises. Note that Disney has said it will use a virtual queue if things get too crowded at The Magic of Disney Animation, so you might want to keep that in mind when you visit.

Baymax Sipper

But more has come to Hollywood Studios today, too, including a brand new Baymax Sipper. Yes, there’s finally something in Disney World for Big Hero 6  fans. The new sipper is Baymax on his charging pad, and it comes with a new drink called Ani-Made, which is Minute Maid premium lemonade with DOLE Whip pineapple juice and watermelon syrup.

This seems to be the same sipper we spotted in Disney California Adventure in 2023. You’ll find him in Disney World at the snack cart near The Walt Disney Studios.

Monstropolis Updates

But…wait, there’s more! We also spotted some construction updates over at the Monstropolis site. From what we can tell, some scalloping seems to be getting added to this building.

We’re so excited to see all these little details come to life to create this city we’ve only ever seen in movies.
