Disney's Hollywood Studios Opens Immersive New Animation Experience
Lake Buena Vista, Fla. – September 17, 2026 -- The Magic of Disney Animation, a new collection of interactive experiences, has opened at Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
The building echoes Disney Animation's real-world Burbank headquarters

The experience is built on an Emmy-winning short film
The attraction takes inspiration from Disney Animation's Emmy Award-winning short "Once Upon a Studio," with director Dan Abraham working alongside Walt Disney Imagineering's Daniel Handke to shape the project.
