Listen, this is exciting if for no other reason than the long, long, long overdue removal of Launch Bay. It seems like best case scenario for a modest budget.

Also glad to see the paint going back to the original colors instead of the ugly blue they painted everything.

I just hope they bring Darth Vader and others to Galaxy’s Edge or somewhere else. Give people a chance to meet the original characters.

Love this! The drawing classes used to be my favorite at DHS! Glad to see it return and an indoor play area for kids has been sorely lacking since the removal of Histk playground.
If this means they don’t shoehorn Simpsons and they wait for something better (Marvel rights, one can hope), then this is a BIG win!

Yep, this is a short term win. Nothing more nothing less. Having animation studios back is a huge plus. The wife and I really missed this when Launch bay went in.

Definitely a plus for the park as a whole; but could have been something more significant with a connecting path to ToT/RnRC. Happy to see Launch Bay leaving (I'm still a huge SW fan!) and some differing themes back in the park but still was hoping for something a bit "more."

Assuming they did it now so that Muppets fans didn’t “boo”…

This landed with a thud for me.
Partially because I don’t understand what this attraction is. The poster is reminiscent of Once Upon a Studio, so I wonder if the theater will show that short.
This seems like a holdover concept from the 100th that finally is getting the greenlight because people are mad Launch Bay still exists while Muppets doesn’t.
I’m gonna need more information before I’m sold on this, even if only temporarily.

Yeah, the (overdue) removal of launch bay is a potential pathway to a much looser timeline over in Galaxy’s Edge. Obviously it’s already fairly loose with the presence of Mando and Grogu but I think the strict timeline days are over. The presence of Star Wars characters outside of the sequel trilogy will be necessary with the loss of the Vader M&G. Hopefully we can even eventually get a third attraction with original trilogy or prequel trilogy characters, although that may be wishful thinking. M&Gs would be a fine start

I have a different take. While I'm still not pleased about the removal of ROA, Disney has done some things going back to its roots.
Off the top of my head,
- Converting this back to the Animation Experience, albeit modified, as it was when Disney-MGM first opened
- Bringing back dive chamber demonstration in Seas
- Test Track 3.0 with a nod back to World of Motion

Is it??? The Play Pavilion was a terrible idea!

The arch has to go to prominently show the Sorcerer's Hat on top of the building as you walk into the area. It has the added bonus of removing an uninspiring non-descript logo.

The reaction is baffling. This is exactly the short-sighted, penny-pinching behavior people supposedly hate from WDW.

It's better than Launch Bay... but we all know how fast and loose Disney plays with the term "temporary" (even if they didn't directly say that with regards to this project, which is probably for the better for their sake).

Wow, never had a thread I started become THE thread before.
I am enormously gruntled to hear about this, even if it's temporary. This is exactly the kind of thing that belongs in this park, especially in this location. It's a tribute to the hard work of the animators who worked there. Bring it on!

I am really thrilled, animation class is back!!!! If they really deep dive into animation and history this will be wonderful

....Are you thinking what I'm thinking? This is almost the perfect set up to a Midnight Suns ride (they probably would never do it but come on)

I agree on this, this seems like a wonderful compromise to have something going on in this area. Maybe it means AC sticks around for a little longer (and hopefully) they get rid of the stuff behind it first so that there's a limit to how many construction walls are all over this park.
