Sarah and I spent part of our Hollywood Studios date day in Animation Courtyard — The Magic of Disney Animation area under the sorcerer hat.

There's a lot packed in: character meet-and-greets, the Drawn to Wonderland Alice playground, and galleries with drawings, props, and animation exhibits. We walked the map, watched the Alice tea-party playground, and Sarah posed with the glass slipper display. The one miss was Olaf's drawing class — it was down while we were there, and Sarah wants to do it next time.

Knup 7.7 / 10. Good mix of characters, playground, and exhibits. Olaf drawing class is still open for a return visit. From our Hollywood Studios date day.
