And I got a resorts collection experience where I got to experience some of the ways that you could kind of experience Walt Disney World when you're not actually at the parks, because the resorts have a lot of really fun things to offer.

What has happened in the world of Disney this week?
AubreyHOST
0:42
Well, the Magic of Disney Animation just opened this week at Hollywood Studios, which is so exciting.
AubreyHOST
0:48
Oh, I know.

It looks amazing.
Lou MongelloHOST

And the park has evolved a lot since then.
Lou MongelloHOST
1:04
But I think one question has always stayed very interesting to me, especially now, which is what does the word studios actually mean here? This week, I'm taking you inside the magic of Disney animation to explore what this new experience actually offers, why different people in the same family or group might come away loving completely different parts of it, and why I think it reconnects Disney's Hollywood Studios with something that's always made the idea of a studio so fascinating, which is seeing how the magic is made and getting a chance to be part of it yourself.

We're gonna talk about what the magic of Disney animation is, what you can expect, who it's really for, the history connected to this exact location, and why I think this experience might help answer a bigger question about what the word studios can mean in this park today.

Olaf draws to use in-person virtual queue to manage crowds during busy time.
JamesHOST
37:36
Olaf Draws has begun its soft opening at the Magic of Disney Animation at Hollywood St- at Disney Hollywood Studios.
JamesHOST
37:43
Because the experience has limited capacity and is already generating significant interest, Disney will use an in-person virtual wait list when crowds are heavy.
JamesHOST
