Olaf Draws! is currently operating in B-Mode at The Magic of Disney Animation in Disney\u2019s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Drapes currently cover Olaf and his desk at Olaf Draws! at The Magic of Disney Animation. This experience typically features Olaf hosting the experience from an animator\u2019s desk while pre-recorded video lessons from Disney animators guide guests through drawing iconic characters.<\/p>\n

On September 22, Olaf Draws!<\/a> was forced to close due to technical difficulties with Olaf. Although the experience reopened later that day, the technical difficulties now appear to be ongoing. <\/p>\n

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

The experience is currently operating in B-Mode, which is very similar to the version with Olaf, except now there is an awkward pause where Olaf would show off his drawing to the guests.<\/p>\n

Cast Members told us that Olaf Draws! will be operating in B-Mode for the remainder of the day. <\/p>\n

This picture shows what the experience typically looks like, with Olaf hosting from the animator\u2019s desk while the video lesson plays.<\/p>\n

The opening of Olaf Draws! follows the closure of The Animation Experience<\/a> at Conservation Station in Disney\u2019s Animal Kingdom to be replaced by Bluey\u2019s Wild World<\/a>. Unlike previous art classes at Walt Disney World, Olaf Draws! is not hosted by a live artist, which has drawn criticism from fans<\/a>. <\/p>\n
