New Green Ventilation Panels Arrive at Animation Courtyard
Fresh paint is hitting the Animation Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! The iconic ventilation panels on The Magic of Disney Animation building are receiving a vibrant green refresh, adding a pop of color to this classic corner of the park.

Work is currently concentrated on the left side of the building, where crews have been applying a dark green finish over a fresh coat of white primer. During our visit on the afternoon of March 30, four crew members were spotted actively painting, though only a handful of panels have been completed so far. In contrast, the right side of the building already appears finished. Interestingly, these specific details aren’t fully depicted in the original concept art for the area.
A massive Sorcerer’s Hat will soon take center stage between the columns, paying homage to the iconic architecture of the Roy E. Disney Animation Building in Burbank. During our visit, we also noticed a new metal structural cover already installed between the pillars, likely prepping the area for this magical addition.
Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live!—and the newly refreshed, studio-inspired courtyard—is officially set to debut on May 26. While Disney has yet to announce a return date for The Magic of Disney Animation, we do know the reimagined attraction will feature six all-new meet-and-greets. Highlights include a character-led art class hosted by Olaf and a whimsical playground inspired by Mary Blair’s legendary Alice in Wonderland concept art.
Are you looking forward to the Animation Courtyard reopening?
