July 12, 2015 – The Magic of Disney Animation Area Closes in Hollywood Studios
“Work is underway on a new experience, and we look forward to sharing more information in the future.”
On July 12, 2015, the attraction area The Magic of Disney Animation closed in Hollywood Studios to make way for the new Star Wars-themed area. It was one of the original attractions from the park’s opening in 1989, and originally explained animation to guests while working as an active animation studio. The animation studio closed in 2003, but the area still featured explanations of the process of animation, along with special character meet and greets. The area now is home to the Star Wars Launch Bay.
