WDW News Today is reporting that there is a high possibility that the Magic of Animation in Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be closing in the near future for renovation. The Magic of Animation is home to the very popular Animation Academy, character meet and greets and so much more.
So the big question on everyone’s mind is what will be happening to this large space if the rumors are true. Where will the characters go? Is this the end of Animation Academy?
DIStracted Tip: If you are heading to Animation Academy think about packing an empty paper towel roll to roll up your drawings in so they don’t get damaged!
With the Animation Academy being as popular as it is, I highly doubt Disney will be doing away with it for good. Rumors are suggesting a possible expansion for the Animation Academy! This would be wonderful, as the wait can sometimes be on the longer side.
Character meet and greets change randomly through Walt Disney World, so it wouldn’t be hard for Disney move the characters to new locations or to take away certain ones. Some of the characters have already moved out of the Magic of Animation location.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been and continues to be undergoing some major changes and renovations. It wouldn’t be a surprise if the Magic of Animation was included in these changes.
Disney has yet to unveil it’s plans for Disney’s Hollywood Studios, so as August nears everyone’s eyes are focused on the D23 Expo 2015 coming to Anaheim, California where we are hoping for an announcement of some kind.
