NEW: Disney shared a new look inside the construction site for The Magic of Disney Animation, including a closer look at Drawn to Wonderland, an indoor Alice in Wonderland-themed playground designed for children ages 5 and under.

This is so cute and fun. This may become my new favorite place to hang out at this park.

NEW: The Magic of Disney Animation, opening later this summer at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, will feature a collection of experiences including “Drawn to Wonderland,” “Off the Page!,” “Olaf Draws!” and the Once Upon A Studio Theater. Here's a new map:

Th courtyard is fantastic. It’s what the area has needed for 15+ years.

The music is incredible. I will be vibing here in the future.

Everything from the characters, music, charm, greenery, atmosphere, and the general vibes is just perfect.

A fantastic job by all involved.

I could cry this is all I’ve wanted from WDW for YEARS

[Original Orange Bird @ogorangebird]

This is what Walt wanted. His dream realized.

I’d never thought I’d see this many characters just roaming around in Walt Disney World. Animation Courtyard is top tier.

A giant Disney character conga line at The Walt Disney Studios today. So good! 👏

[Scott Gustin @ScottGustin]

The roaming characters and special moments in the newly opened Walt Disney Studios Courtyard are pure magic. More of this, please. (📷:@Lee5 )

The Walt Disney Studios Courtyard at Hollywood Studios is incredible. The music, the vibes, and characters telling stories to kids, just awesome stuff.

PLUTO AT PLUTO’S CORNER. I love The Walt Disney Studios courtyard. 🥹

[Drew Smith @DrewDisneyDude]

The Walt Disney Studios courtyard is already one of my all-time favorite spots at Walt Disney World. I already loved the area, and now the roaming characters are the cherry on top. 🙌

The Magic of Disney Animation courtyard during last night’s heavy rainfall. This new area is so beautiful!

This placemaking project is Walt Disney World's biggest 'value over replacement' win in a while. Here's a detailed look around, and why it's such a night-and-day improvement over the 'dead mall' vibes here before: https://t.co/mOHzKhwj0y

[Alicia Stella @AliciaStella]

I had this exact same thought today. Little moments like this are the memories that stick.

[Drew Smith @DrewDisneyDude]

Today has been one of the busiest days of my life, yet Pua and Thumper have stood out in The Walt Disney Studios.

I watched a countless number of kids interact with them throughout the day because they are at their level, inviting them to play.

Simple, but powerful.

[Drew Smith @DrewDisneyDude]

I can’t believe this view is at Hollywood Studios. The courtyard is perfect. 🥲

We spotted one more character (Ray) that we didn't notice this morning.

The scale of these new Disney character figures is pure magic: https://t.co/bBqqDdSeL1
