More of the trims and trappings of Animation Courtyard in Disney\u2019s Hollywood Studios have been torn down ahead of the area\u2019s transformation.<\/p>\n

Animation Courtyard Demolition\"Guests<\/a><\/p>\n

All of the awnings and their frames have been removed from the theater that previously housed Disney Jr. Play and Dance! There are paint-less strips on the walls where the awnings used to be attached. Disney Jr. billboards remain visible on the building.<\/p>\n

\"Guests<\/a>\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

A construction vehicle was parked in the courtyard outside the theater.<\/p>\n

Behind construction walls, we could still see the Mickey-shaped entrance to the theater\u2019s outdoor queue.<\/p>\n

Disney Jr. Play and Dance! was replaced by the Get Animated! dance party<\/a> for the summer. A new Disney Jr. show will open when the courtyard\u2019s reimagining is complete.<\/p>\n

Lamps have been removed from the Disney\u2019s Hollywood Studios archway, leaving hanging wires visible on the sides. The archway was completely blocked off<\/a> last week and will be demolished<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Star Wars: Launch Bay\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

At the back of the courtyard, only a rectangular frame remains where the Star Wars: Launch Bay sign used to be. The themed facade behind the sign is still in place, although there are some messy marks, and a piece of scrim is covering something.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Star Wars: Launch Bay will be replaced by a new version of The Magic of Disney Animation<\/a>, the opening-day Disney\u2019s Hollywood Studios attraction that Launch Bay replaced 10 years ago. The courtyard will become the Walt Disney Studios lot.<\/p>\n

The courtyard closed after September 24<\/a> and construction walls went up<\/a> the next day. The Little Mermaid \u2013\u00a0A Musical Adventure and Walt Disney Presents<\/a> remain open. The reimagined courtyard, new Disney Jr. show, and new Magic of Disney Animation are set to open in 2026.<\/p>\n
