Just a few minor corrections I've noticed here... don't mind me, my mom's an editor and an english teacher so I'm sorry for being nitpicky

^ can be removed given July 7 date lower in the post

^ Thunder. Not Thurnder

^ Virtual. Not Virtue

^ Fantasyland is one word

^ Couple things here. July 17 debut, not July 20. And it's not starting rotational. Disney has confirmed that it'll be starting out as an exclusive show and after the initial run it'll start rotating.

^ Couple things here as well. July 2025 is duplicated here, should be merged into section above. Debut date is July 20, not July 29. Also - [vide hic]

^ hardy har har

^ called Zootopia: Better Zoogether. Not based on.

^ May 22

^ Fall of 2025, not unknown date in 2026.

^ not unknown. March 18 2025

^ duplicated. And again starts Fall 2025.
Thanks! Will be editing...

Hold it. I thought it is closing right before Christmas. Did they announce of just extend and change verbage?
As we prepare for this transformation, Animation Courtyard and Disney Jr. Play and Dance! will close beginning September 25, 2025.
