Off The Page! Brings Six Animated Icons to Hollywood Studios in 2026
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is getting ready to turn the page to a whole new chapter in 2026, and this one is bursting right out of the sketchbook. Disney has officially revealed that the all new Magic of Disney Animation experience, opening in late summer 2026, will feature Off The Page!, a vibrant character meet and greet space where animated icons literally leap from their artwork to greet guests. If you’ve ever wished your favorite characters would step out of their concept art and say hello, this is your moment.

This reimagined area is a collaboration between Walt Disney Animation Studios and Walt Disney Imagineering, and it promises six unique meet and greet locations inspired by different departments inside the animation studio. So far, Disney has teased two big names you’ll be able to meet: Mulan, striking a pose beside an oversized storyboard panel fit for a warrior, and Rapunzel, glowing (as always) amid a setting designed around the classic multiplane camera technique. The remaining four characters are still under wraps, and Disney’s keeping that last page of the sketchbook tightly closed for now. But based on what we know, expect some seriously photogenic spaces ready to fill your camera roll.
The whole Magic of Disney Animation makeover is a love letter to the original attraction that opened with the park in 1989. That version gave guests a peek inside the real Disney Feature Animation building, where films like Lilo & Stitch were born. While the animation studio left in 2004 and the attraction closed in 2015, the spirit of creativity is coming back stronger than ever. The new experience will showcase a Sorcerer Mickey hat façade inspired by the Roy E. Disney Animation Building in Burbank, inviting guests to step into a colorful world of art, imagination, and a little magic.

Animation Courtyard is undergoing a full glow-up to make space for the new experience. The Hollywood Studios archway has already been removed, and Star Wars Launch Bay is officially closed. Over in the neighborhood, Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! will open earlier in the summer, making 2026 a massive year for the whole area.
We’ll keep following the story as more characters and details drop, but for now, one thing’s clear: Off The Page! is ready to draw a whole new crowd.
