Magic of Disney Animation Building Map: Five Zones and Full Layout Revealed at Hollywood Studios

Disney has released the first official map of The Magic of Disney Animation building at Hollywood Studios, and with it, new concept art and details for the Drawn to Wonderland playground. The building does not yet have a confirmed opening date — it opens later this summer — but now you can see exactly how it is laid out and what is waiting inside.

Quick Summary

• Disney has released the official map of The Magic of Disney Animation building at Hollywood Studios — opening later this summer
• The building has five distinct zones: Olaf Draws!, Off the Page! character meets, Once Upon A Studio Theater, Drawn to Wonderland playground, and Galleries
• A Studio Store exit is also on the map
• Drawn to Wonderland is an indoor Mary Blair-inspired Alice in Wonderland playground for ages 6 months to 5 years
• Off the Page! character lineup: Mulan, Rapunzel, Chip ‘n’ Dale, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Stitch
• Characters from the building are currently meeting guests as free-roaming characters in the Walt Disney Studios courtyard

The Five Zones Inside

Guests enter through a central Open House area and can move through five distinct zones:

• Olaf Draws! — The Animation Academy drawing class hosted by an Audio-Animatronics Olaf, with instruction from real Disney Animation artists
• Off the Page! — Character meet-and-greet spaces themed around the animation process, with Mulan, Rapunzel, Chip ‘n’ Dale, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Stitch
• Once Upon A Studio Theater — A dedicated theater showing the Emmy Award-winning short film with enhanced effects
• Drawn to Wonderland — An indoor playground for younger guests inspired by Alice in Wonderland
• Galleries — Curated art spaces featuring Disney Animation artwork

A Studio Store exit is also shown on the map, giving guests a dedicated retail exit path through the building.

Drawn to Wonderland — New Details and Concept Art

Disney has now released concept art and expanded details for Drawn to Wonderland, the indoor playground designed for children ages 6 months to 5 years old. The space is inspired by the original Alice in Wonderland concept art from Disney Legend Mary Blair — her bold colors and unmistakable graphic style brought to life as an immersive, climbable environment.

The playground is divided into themed areas from the 1951 film:

• The Mad Tea Party and Mad Hatter’s house
• The Queen of Hearts’ rose garden
• The Cheshire Cat’s Tulgey Wood

The concept art shows climbing structures, interactive elements at the Mad Tea Party table, oversized props, whimsical trees, and the Cheshire Cat peering from the branches overhead. It is designed for younger guests to explore and move while families can recharge without leaving the Disney storytelling environment.

Characters Are Already Meeting in the Courtyard

While The Magic of Disney Animation building waits for its opening date, several characters from the Off the Page! lineup are already available at Hollywood Studios. Mulan, Rapunzel, Goofy, Pluto, Donald, Chip, and Dale are currently meeting guests as free-roaming characters in the Walt Disney Studios courtyard — no queues, no dedicated meet-and-greet lines.

This format will likely shift when the building opens and the characters move to their dedicated Off the Page! spaces inside. Take advantage of the free-roaming experience now while it lasts.

No confirmed opening date for The Magic of Disney Animation has been announced. It opens later this summer at Hollywood Studios. Stay tuned to DisMornings for the announcement when Disney sets the date.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
