Disney’s Hollywood Studios will maintain character encounters in the Animation Courtyard even after The Magic of Disney Animation attraction opens on September 14. While some characters will move indoors to the new Off the Page experience, additional characters are expected to continue appearing outside for guest interactions. During a recent media preview, Alice, the Mad Hatter, and the Cheshire Cat were spotted in the area, though Disney has not confirmed their regular availability. The roaming character presence may become more prominent during seasonal events like Cool Kids Summer. Inside Off the Page, guests can meet Mulan, Rapunzel, Chip ‘n’ Dale, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, and Stitch in spaces themed to different animation stages. The attraction also features Olaf Draws!, the Drawn to Wonderland playground, and the Disney Once Upon a Studio Theater for enhanced experiences.
