Photos: Fan-Favorite Characters Arrive at Walt Disney Studios Courtyard

Characters have moved into Walt Disney Studios Courtyard a day early, as the area prepares for its official opening tomorrow.

What’s Happening:

• As Walt Disney World prepares to welcome guests into their upcoming The Magic of Disney Animation attraction, the former Animation Courtyard had an incredible refresh into Walt Disney Studios Courtyard. 
• Mimicking the aesthetic of the Walt Disney Studios lot, the area now features a more cohesive aesthetic, perfect for families looking for a place to relax and enjoy Disney’s Hollywood Studios. 
• While officially set to open tomorrow, May 26th, the area was revealed earlier this week, and, today, some fan-favorite characters came out to bring the area to life!

• During our recent trip to the park, we ran into Mulan and Rapunzel, who were seen meeting near the former Grand Avenue area of the park earlier this month. 
• Classic characters like Chip ‘n’ Dale, Donald, and Goofy were also out and about!

• While The Magic of Disney Animation isn’t expected to open until late Summer, Walt Disney Studios Courtyard and the Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! will debut tomorrow, May 26th. 
• For those looking to head to the Most Magical Place on Earth, Laughing Place recommends Mouse Fan Travel.
