Updated Disney’s Hollywood Studios Map Reveals Reduced Animation Courtyard
A fresh update to Disney’s Hollywood Studios guide map has quietly rolled out a day earlier than expected, and it already reflects the closure of Star Wars Launch Bay and the Disney Jr. theater. Both attractions officially close September 25, but the new map shows the area slimmed down ahead of time.

The updated design shortens Animation Courtyard, cutting off the walkway just past The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure. The buildings that once housed Star Wars Launch Bay and Disney Jr. Play and Dance! are no longer pictured. Guests should expect construction walls to appear in this area once the closures take effect.
The cover of the new map features a playful photo of a guest holding up a Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar to “feed” Gertie the Dinosaur, a whimsical nod to one of Hollywood Studios’ most beloved icons. Inside, the usual park information and transportation guides remain, but the real change is in the renumbered layout. Dining spots like the Market and Joffrey’s Coffee have shifted numbers to account for the removal of the courtyard attractions.
