We’ll share more when new details are released! In case you missed it, Disney announced here that Animation Courtyard would close in late September to make way for an entirely new park area called The Walt Disney Studios. This new area will offer a refreshed outdoor space, a new animated adventure called The Magic of Disney, and an indoor playground inspired by the original Alice in Wonderland concept art.
